This week the Dynamic Duo sits down with a student, Jessie, the daughter of Rachel from Lima Bean. Jessie tells us all about her natural musical ability, potential winter sports activities this year, and what type of food we think would be. Join us for a light-hearted conversation with a big-hearted young lady.

"Be yourself because everyone else is already taken."

"Give yourself moments of time that feed your soul", is the advice from our most recent podcast episode. This week we sit down with Rachel, the owner of the Lima Bean, a women's clothing store located in beautiful downtown Suttons Bay. In keeping with the motif of inspiration and community, we talk about the importance of leaving your comfort zone, how Rachel spends her free-time, and just how quickly the world is changing. 

In this week's episode, we sit down with the inspirational (and very cool) Katie Asher. She is the owner of the retail store Slip Vintage, located in downtown Traverse City. Katie describes the hardships and triumphs of starting and running a business during a pandemic, channeling reckless confidence in your ideas, and just how intimate buying/selling vintage clothes can be. 
Another fantastic conversation on this weeks episode you won't want to miss.
"If you're thinking about starting a business, trust yourself and just do it."

Bekah and Ian are back! Here to help kick off Generation Perspective Season 2 is the lovely Laila. In this episode, the dynamic duo chats with Laila about inspiration,  the simplicity of childhood pleasures, and the unknown of growing up. 

In today's episode, Ian and Bekah sit down and talk with Kiley. She's a world traveler, attends school in Germany, is an outdoor-education fanatic, and did we mention- a Leelanau County Local! Her passion for education with children and her love for the outdoors truly shines through, and we had the most wonderful time getting to know her. We know you'll love her too! 

Today Ian and Bekah sit down and chat with one of Ian and Claire's magnificent friends and a Leland local, Annalise. According to Bekah, she knows 'all of the things about the underwater world.' But, it turns out, Annalise is one of the most humble and genuine humans we have had the pleasure of meeting, and we can't wait for you to listen in. You're going to want to catch this episode for a look into the underwater world, some discussion of critical world issues, and the importance of educating today's youth. 

Today, Ian and Bekah sit down with Jacob. Jacob and Bekah are long-standing neighbors and have known each other for nearly six years. Ian and Jacob bond over their mutual dislike for the deep ocean and their love of pranks. 

Bekah and Ian sit down and chat with Claire this week. Claire is our social media and brand manager. (She's also the one writing this right now!) Not only do we get to know her, but Bekah and Claire come up with an insane fundraiser idea that involves Ian and one of his greatest fears. TRUST US, this is an episode you are not going to want to miss!

On today's episode of Generation Perspective, Ian and Bekah sit down with Savante. As the title suggests, Savante is a driven and creative entrepreneur with seemingly no limits. Not only do they touch on his artistry and the process behind producing a music video, but also his plans to test out of school and the importance of mental health. 

LIFT invites you to get to know our associate director on this week's episode. Besides being an all-around amazing woman, Audrey Sharp is an integral part of LIFT and encourages each human she encounters. She says, "I love being around young people. They know what life's about". Her life so far has been wildly impressive, both in her career and her personal life, and we can't wait for you to get to know her. She truly has transformed LIFT and helps uphold our everyday mission. We are so grateful!
