What happens when a successful attorney and Wall Street banker goes to see Jay Leno perform? Well, if it is Paul Mecurio, he hands Leno a stack of jokes he wrote and the rest is history! Paul has had a bizarre career trajectory that landed his an Emmy and Peabody. He currently appears on and writes for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, performs his own stand-up act, is taking his Broadway production on the road. And somehow, he had a half hour to hop on the phone with us!

Paul will be in Annapolis for a single show on Friday, February 9th at Rams Head On Stage and this will be a show to remember! Today, we get a bit of a preview!

Have a listen!

Guyan, its founder, to uncover the story of Made +.

Alan is no stranger to the shoe business, having spent many years at Under Armour. However, as he looked to a new challenge, a vision for his future emerged in Annapolis with locally made, sustainable, quality lifestyle shoes with a nod to the Annapolis lifestyle.

Made+ spent three years setting up shop and developing a plan and are now shipping shoes from their office/factory on Admiral Cochrane Drive. The shoes are incredibly comfortable ( I bought a pair) and attractive. The key is that they are custom-made to your foot in design and style. Green shoes (like mine)? No problem! Graffiti pattern? Yup! Need a shoe that plays homage to the Ravens, Orioles, Midshipment, or Terps? Got that too! You can even design a kaleidoscope of a shoe unique to you!

And there are growth plans. Coming soon, you will see a running shoe (currently, they only make one model), a mobile shop at local and regional events, and down the road, some brick-and-mortar stores.

Looking for something unique? Here's your answer: Made+ right here in Annapolis.

Death. Few people like to talk about it because it is scary, uncomfortable, and unknown. It does not have to be that way, and today, Teri Jacobson from the Maryland Doula Collective tells us why!

Teri is an End of Life Doula who will help guide someone through the process of dying. She will help guide the family and loved ones through the process of dying. And it is all done with education, compassion, and humility.

Today we discuss what it is that a Doula does, the different types of dynamics present in dying, and when to enlist the help of an EOL Doula (that answer surprised me).

Together with Hospice (they actually work with Hospice of the Chesapeake), a Doula can put dying into a beautiful perspective. This was a fascinating conversation!

Have a listen!

NOTE: We recorded this at Bean Rush Cafe, and there is some background noise, and at five points, there is some unknown electrical interference--just so you know!
