Josh Bickett is joining me! This guy is a good buddy of mine who actually happened to be the best man at my wedding. I hardly get to catch up with him anymore but found out he heard a podcast I had with Jay Crawford and he reached out, so I’m glad to catch up with him and see how life is going! Join us.

Jennifer Riggsby is my cousin. We would always see each other growing up but are probably closer now that we’re grown up a bit more. She’s a lot of fun to talk to and I’m looking forward to catching up with her in this episode!

Bethany Wilson is a former student and fellow traveler who has gone to Bosnia-Herzegovina with me in the past. She’s now an apprentice elevator mechanic who lives in Michigan but works all over the US. We talk about everything from the benefits of union membership to book recommendations. Join us for a fun converstaion!

For this interview I searched high and low to find a Tom Hanks to talk to after falling short in my effort of landing the famous actor. The person I found is named Thomas Hanks though and he's studying Political Science at The Ohio State University. As a political scientist myself, I really enjoy talking with him and discussing everything from the President's recent calls to "liberate" Democrat-run states to how Joe Biden will fare as the Democratic nominee for President. It's a civil conversation between two people on somewhat opposite sides of the political spectrum, something that's sorely missing right now, so sit back and enjoy the discussion!

Bridget is a friend of mine who is a storyteller. She’s the founding storyteller of LORE, a Dayton business that helps individuals and groups tell their stories. I’ve had the privilege of working with her a number of times and she’s an excellent coach. She’s done a lot of other things in her life as well, so I’m excited to talk with her and see how she’s navigating the pandemic. Join us as she talks about some of the projects she's working on and helps coach me in a story about how I knocked down the power line of a friend's house! Also, find her business page at https://www.lorestorytelling.com/ and her project HER Talks at https://www.real-hertalks.com.

Taylor Butler is a former student of mine who is now a manufacturing engineer at Spirit Aerosystems in Kansas. She’s someone I really enjoy talking to and is super smart, and talk about everything from communism to mortuary science. I hope you enjoy!

All right so I’m excited to talk to my friend Bryce Damuth, who is both an artist and a comedian. By day he does programming for Universal and he does artwork on commission, and by night he’s hitting the clubs with his standup routines. You can find Bryce on Instagram @cubanbrouse and online at www.brycedamuth.com/. Enjoy!

For this episode, I was really hoping to have Tom Hanks on. I put it out into the universe, but it didn't happen. So, instead, this is a special episode where I interview my brother and have him talk about the time he met Tom Hanks. I hope you enjoy!

I’m excited to talk to Kevin Lydy for this episode. He’s a social studies teacher who I consider a personal mentor of mine when it comes to teaching. We both taught together at the Dayton Regional STEM School in the past, and he's a big extreme footrace guy, so we talk about that, the surprising stories he's reading his children at bedtime, the time I put a hole in his wall, and more!

I’m really excited to be talking to my guest today, Jay Crawford. Our friendship goes all the way back to high school, and he’s one of the few people I’m still good friends with from high school, so I enjoy talking with him and seeing what’s new in his world. Join us as we talk about the time we got arrested, our worst jobs, and more!
