Tim Buchholz is not only a jazz musician and vocalist, as well as a teacher at UWSP @ Wausau. He and his wife are also part of an adventure racing team ranked No. 1 in the entire country!

In the latest episode of Keep it Wausome, I talk to Sarah Rudolph about life as a drama teacher who wasn't afraid to push the envelope in Wausau.

We talk about that and more as Rudolph recounts 30 years as a drama teacher.

Actress Kimi Harris has started in feature and short films, TV and web series - and she's from Wausau! Harris moved to LA at a young age to pursue acting and has worked with celebrities that include Wanda Sykes. She moved back home during the pandemic and took some time to talk to our podcast! I first met Kimi when we worked together on my friend Jarrod Crooks' film, Bitch Slapped Again — she as the star, and me as Thug #2. Kimi talked to me about the realities of trying to make it in Hollywood, what it's like being on set and how the progression from beginner to working your way to better and better roles works. Check it out!

One of my favorite guests, Dr. Linda Bluestein, is back to talk about how to evaluate and incorporate health research into your lifestyle, some basic tips to improve your health and her thoughts on all these health documentaries coming out. It's a little shorter than many of our podcasts because of time constraints (mostly on my part) but it's full of valuable information!

Scott Brault is a professional wrestler with more than 30 years experience in the ring, and has had a career in films and commercials as well.

Deamon Boettcher is a tattoo artist and now musician who overcame drug addiction to start his own tattoo shop and developed a recovery ribbon tattoo that symbolizes recovery.

Adam Greuel of Horseshoes and Hand Grenades joins the podcast today - so exciting! Horseshoes and Hand Grenades is a national level bluegrass band that tours the country, and now Adam has been focusing on solo work, recorded right in Stevens Point, including his latest Quarantine Tangerine. I've always loved interviewing Adam and we had a great talk - he's a talented hard working artist, and a super nice dude. Enjoy this episode!

In this week's episode of the podcast I sit down with Jessica Guyant - Jessica not only owns the Wild Roots Apothecary in Schofield, which serves all kinds of delicious and healthy food like smoothie bowls and Acai bowls, but has lived an adventurous life captaining boats, leading dives in Hawaii and owning businesses in Colorado. She's got tons of great stories and I had a blast talking to her!
