Two of the places we talk about in the show are...

Lola's Trailer Park located at 2735 W 5th St Fort Worth, Texas 76107www.lolassaloon.com

I know we talked about a few other places but if your looking for local music this is a good place to start.

To Matthew and Trista, Thank yall so much for coming on the show! I cant wait to see you for our next episode together.

I tell Lucas in this episode that year one of developing Fort Worth Roots is all about learning the podcast ropes and making friends. We can add Lucas to our list of friends for sure! We had a great recording with just simple and laid back conversation. But what has been really awesome is connecting with Lucas after the show through social media. He has been a great help putting this show together and i dont know if we could have done it with out him!

Lucas is the host of the podcast Just Sway which you can find at just-sway.simplecast.com

And here is a time line that will either highlight how efficient Mr.Peterson is or just implicate me is an ass dragging procrastinator. Alright, so i started putting Fort Worth Roots together like three weeks before Lucas and i sat down for our recording. Maybe more like five or six weeks im not sure. We do our recording and then about 4 weeks before i launch Fort Worth Roots , Lucas has already launched ANOTHER podcast !! Freakin animal ! Whatever..

Anyway its called HorrorFul and this is a link to the trailer on Spotify!

Lucas. You rock. Thank you sir and id love to have you and Andy on real soon.

Stay classy.

Podcasting seems like an easy way to meet cool people. But Mollie and her camera are making friends way faster then me! She's hung out with pretty much every pro sports team in DFW, a fistful of university teams, and shes got pictures with POTUS #43!

Its not just that shes making friends with well known people. Mollie is making her name known through her work as well. Unfortunately Mollie had an engagement that cut our conversation down a little bit. If she had the chance to tell us her entire story it would have been a three day long recording. At such a young age its hard to believe all the things she has accomplished.

Awesome! This was a fun recording. These two are out to conquer the world and it doesnt look like anyone is going to be able to stop them. They both have extremely charismatic personalities. We probably could have kept this episode going for several hours. Check out all of the information about house of whiting at

The protests that we talk about in this episode happened just a few short blocks from there apartment and if you check out episode #008 with Jake Ferris, his wife sent in some photos she took the night of the protest. We included those pictures at the tail end of that episode.

Heres the link to Episode #008 with Jake Ferris, https://youtu.be/klhz9PLeI7Q .

This is one of the reasons that i wanted to start Fort Worth Roots. Its a great excuse to get one on one time with an actual expert. More then likely, had i not had this conversation with Ashleigh, i would have a great deal of trouble excepting the ENTIRE corona virus story. So much misinformation and so many people trying to throw political BS into the mix. But since i was given this incredible opportunity to sit down and talk to someone who has personally seen how devastating this Covid-19 virus has been on our country. I know that not only is it real, its effecting people from Texas and all the way up to New York.

For any of you that are still trying to decide if its a government conspiracy, relax. Its real.

Ashleigh spent 21 days in New York helping the health care providers that just got SLAMMED when it hit . She isnt looking for follows on social media and she isnt looking for notoriety so i dont have any links to share with you. But if you would like to give her a thank you comment here or on her video on youtube and ill make sure she gets you love.

HOLY CRAP! I would like to start out by confessing that i had absolutely no idea that putting all this podcast stuff together would take this much time. Seriously ! So thank ALL of you for being so incredibly patient with me as i worked my way through this. The end result is not something that i am proud of simply because as i moved my way from episode one to episode ten i learned a little with each step. By the time i started editing i was completely done recording all of the interviews. The closer i got to the "Release Date", I started to consider burning everything and just starting over from scratch. But what fun would that be.

It was important to me to make episode one kinda an intro to the podcast. I also wanted to make sure that i included the two people that were there for me when i first had the idea to put together my own podcast. All three of us are big podcasts listeners and enjoy our own favorite shows.

So id like to give a big shout out and a very sincere thank you to my two amazing friends Grant and Dianela. You guys gave me the encouragement i needed to dive head first into another adventure. I love both of you to the moon and back, hug hug hug kiss kiss kiss.

In this episode we dive into Grant and Dianela's professional lives.

Dianela is an Educational Diagnostician. If you google it this is what you will find. Educational Diagnosticians are a type of special education teacher who assesses, diagnoses and work with children with learning problems. These professionals operate under a number of titles. They may be called a learning consultant, or learning disabilities teacher, but their duties are the same.

She worked long and hard to get to this position. Now that Grant and Dianela have moved to the state of Colorado she is on the hunt for a new career path as the state of Colorado does not recognize her specialized field. Bummer. But she quickly found an organization that was happy to take her on and i cant wait to find out what new adventure she has gotten herself into. D is wicked smart so trust me she will be just fine.

Grant is a duel status government employee. What that means is that the federal government uses him in two separate capacities. On the civilian side he is a helicopter repair facility supervisor and on the army side he is a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter crew chief.

How does he have time for all this? The two jobs are completely separate but generally the bulk of what he does happens out of the same facility. As a crew chief Grant is responsible for the passengers on board, helping the pilot with anything behind the pilot seat, and in certain situations serve as the door gunner. That last part typically only occurs in training environments. Not to deduct from Grants over all awesomeness. I just dont want you telling people that a blackhawk crew chief is a door gunner. Thats what the recruiter told Grant when he joined and when he finished his army school training he was shocked to find out it was all a BIG FAT LIE! But its still a wicked sweet job son.
