Jealous Podcast

Have you or a loved one gone through the battle of breast cancer? Or maybe you’ve been wearing pink all month to show your support for breast cancer awareness?
>>Either way, you are going to *LOVE* today’s podcast episode. It’s very special because our guest is Gila Pfeffer who joined us from London!<<
Gila is a Jewish American writer and humorist who writes essays about being a parent, previvor, and SURVIVOR of breast cancer.
*We felt that now, more than ever, it’s important to speak up for breast cancer awareness by supporting Gila’s #feelitonthefirst social media movement.*
Gila and Mackenzie discuss:

• Gila’s perception of what jealousy means
• How humor is used as a coping mechanism
• The importance that writing had in telling her story and finding her voice

…and of course, we hear Gila’s personal breast cancer story and continued advocacy!

Jealous Podcast is back - and we aren't the only ones! College football has made its triumphant return and the Bing Bangers all (well, mostly all) agree that this is the best time of the year. 

Ahead of this weekend's big Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk game we brought in local expert and all around great fella, cofounder of Cyclone Fanatic, Chris Williams. If you're listening to this podcast and are familiar with college football at all, you know who Chris is!

We cover a range of topics, including ghosts (yes, ghosts), sprint car racing, and make some predictions for the big game during our new "Mark's Burning Question of the Day" segment. Chris talks about how he started his business and how he once had dreams of Hollywood!
