Killing Time With Arch

I really enjoy this interview where I get to talk to an old friend, Danny Cancino. Danny and I were in a band together back when I was in high school. I played drums and he played bass. You can actually find it on iTunes still if you search for Benny Lipp and the DCB. Now he’s a firefighter/EMT for Huber Heights. We talk about a lot, including how firefighters are handling the coronavirus, religion, music, and much more. Enjoy!

All right so Daniel is a friend of mine who is really politically active and also happens to be a farmer, and I’m excited to talk to him about what’s going on in his world. We talk about mental health, farming/gardening, politics, Kurt Vonnegut, and more. Join us!

Dalton is perhaps one of my funniest former students. He would always crack me up in class, but now he’s all grown up with a wife and kids, so I’m excited to catch up with him and see how life has been going. Join us for this interview as we talk about sports, bourbon, raising children during the pandemic, and more!

Max and Briana are life and business partners and friends of mine. I really got to know them a bit more when they volunteered to host someone else I’ve had on the show who was visiting from Bosnia-Herzegovina. They run a photography and videography business here in Dayton and they’re just really cool people. Check out their company's website at https://knackforsubstance.com/ and get a voucher for a photo session to take place once the Coronavirus threat subsides!

So Vedran is a friend of mine who lives in Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina, which is the place I plan on retiring to one day. He’s the Director of INTERA Technology Park there, which is primarily a business incubator in Mostar, although they do a lot more than that, including workforce training and development. I’ve had the privilege of staying in his home during one of my visits there, so he’s like my Herzegovinian father. Learn more about his company at www.intera.ba/en.

Olivia is a former student of mine who is now an accounting assistant for an electrical contractor. She’s studying accounting at Colorado state university global campus and she’s riding out the pandemic down in Kentucky. We talk about how (un)-inspiring I was as a teacher, what she's reading, how Kentucky is handling the pandemic, and much more!

All right today’s episode features my good buddy Dan Emmons. Dan is in the Air Force, but we’re also jiu jitsu, cigar, and beer buddies, so that’s what we have on tap for today, so join me for a super fascinating episode featuring physics, cigar reviews, book & movie recommendations, and more!

For episode 15 I interview a good friend of mine, Susan Vincent. She's a Planner for the City of Dayton and she's also an artist. We talk about her book, what life is like working from home, she shares some good book and Netflix recommendations, and she has some good advice on how to make it through the pandemic. Take a listen, and if you're interested in checking out her book, you can find it at abcsofhappypooping.com.

In this episode, I'm excited to talk to a former student, Felix, who is a Psychology major at the University of Dayton. They're one of my coolest former students and we talk about a lot, including mental health, poetry, music, the Dayton Regional STEM School, taking college classes during the Coronavirus outbreak, and more! The books they recommended are "The Courage to Heal" and "Resurrection After Rape." If you're interested in a free copy of their poetry book, check it out on their portfolio at https://rautio12.wixsite.com/portfolio/poetry?fbclid=IwAR1zbJZ_GqnX2J0gBlMZ2tkbJb6Z5-zGIxgVeBcsnXyhjm13bqQOrImhBOI.

Today I get to interview my jiu-jitsu buddy Zak, who is a brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and someone I would consider a personal mentor of mine in the jiu-jitsu world. He's part of my jiu-jitsu family, and I definitely enjoy talking with him, but I haven't seen him a while! We catch up and talk about why we love jiu-jitsu, what's going on in the shipping world, get his book and Netflix recommendations and even talk a little politics. Enjoy!
