I'm joined finally by Carla Cutway, a woman I met over a decade ago when she was in a customer service role with Petro Canada. She resides in Ontario, Canada with a houseful of animals and nearly boundless optimism and passion for life. We discuss an array of topics stretching from my podcast projects to animal rescue to socio-economic differences across the border. Her approach to life is far different from most people I've encountered.

In this episode of Getting to Know You, I'm joined by Jon Steele, a family friend that grew up in New Orleans, left, came back, and has followed a decades-long career in the service industry that brought him most recently behind the bar in the French Quarter.

I'm joined today on the Getting to Know You Podcast by Jill Kinney, an aspiring author dealing with a lingering injury following an experience in her youth. She's been a hairdresser for over 20 years and recently had her second spinal surgery. Her upcoming book, "Bad Girl Camp," documents a wild time in her young life.

I am joined on this episode of the Getting to Know You Podcast by Mr. Steve Wheeler, a semi-retired psychology professor, writer, speaker, poet, and book publisher from Plymouth, England in the UK. We discuss his life growing up as a military kid, schooling, family, and an unexpected career.

In this episode of Getting to Know You, I catch up yet again with Jaymie Rains, Alex's loving wife.  We ran into a series of technical and scheduling issues over the last few weeks as she's living a busy life across the world and I fight with technology, but here today, finally, we discuss her upbringing, education, career, and family.  

From his hammock in northeast Australia to your screen, I'm joined for episode 6 of the Getting to Know You Podcast by Alex Rains, a husband, father of two, and a conservationist.

In this episode of the Getting to Know You podcast, I sit down with David Trahan, a man I met in a past life.  Our lives could not have been more divergent up until the point we met in a wheelhouse, but there's more to his story...
