Garland Pepper presents.

Sara is a musician,  who formed a band #The Lower 48 while attending and arts high school.  They went straight into Touring and spent years touring.  The band is no more and I met Sara after the break up while she was working on her solo career.  Life sends us curveballs sometimes.  I Love singer songwriters, I think they are the bravest of the musicians becuase it is all out there naked for the world to judge. When I see someone pull it off with grace dignity and power I find myself marveling.  Music is a tough road to make it on and Sara has decided to get her Mortitian liscense to help with the flow of money. We talk about the changes in life and moving back to #Mora #Minnesota  a sister city of Mora #Sweeden Where the have the longest ski race called the #Vasaloppet.  I hope you enjoy hanging out with Sara as much as I have.  

Happy Birthday Garland Pepper 

The slang "Let's Burn one" takes on a whole new meaning in Gates Oregon when the Beachie Creek fire swept through the Santiam canyon it took most of the town of Gates Oregon.  In the town of Gates was a small dispensary done up as if you were walking back in time. Turn tables and kitch from the seventies.  The quality was excellent and the revenue for the small town of Gates was increased by a factor of 3.  Pot is good for the economy.  Thorin was the Mayor of Mill City Oregon a town just. a few miles away from Gates.  Mill City has a no pot ordinace and are loosing money everyday because of it. Stop by the CBD shop open Wednesday through Saturday from 11-7   sign and sign the petition if you are a resident of Mill City .

Laura and I met on the Clubhouse chat App. We were in a room with amazing people talking about life stories and Lauras story was so dynamic i had to share it with you.  After years of being a high performer running  Marathons and building a multi million dollar busines Laura suffered a life altering depression that was so deep that could not pull herself out for five years.  Like the Phoenix Laura is rising and started a new company called Muuv that sells electric bikes.  She is a major vendor at Burning man she has a business model where you can order your scooter for Burning Man pick your scooters up In Gurlach before going to Burning Man.  This is has been the bulk of her business and this year with no burning man she is in a spot.  Laura is a fighter and a goer i think you will really enjoy the show.

I first encountered Casle at the Silverton reservoir years ago.  She would Kyac and while she was out she would clean up the lake. She would come back with trash every day.  One day a lady dropped a bag at the dock and Casle got out of the kyack and helped the lady understand the error of her ways.  They say that all it takes is one person to make the change and it is true. Since Casle has been cleaning the lake others have taken notice and the area looks so much better.  She doesn't stop there she has built a network of paddlers from around the world She has built a Kyacing community called the Church of the Double Bladed Paddle.  I think you wil love Casle Portner and her stories and if you are into paddling join the Church of the Double Bladed Paddle on Facebook.  

Dina is an upbeat person and her attitude is infectious.  She is part of. the farm to table organic and local food movement.  Her Company Vida Tortilla is using native New Hampshire Corn and making some delicious products. I have had them and they are delicious.  LIsten up and you will hear the ins and outs of starting your own business and just hanging out with Dina is fun.  You will love her energy.    

What's coming up and how are you doing?
