We were gobsmacked when Sheri Salata said yes to coming on our podcast! And then we got nervous, and we did it anyway because it was something we dreamed of and who doesn’t take the opportunity when it arises?!

Sheri spent 20 years in the land of Oprah finishing that glorious run as the final Executive Producer of The Oprah Winfrey Show, President of Harpo Studios and President of OWN as captured in the cable hit series Season 25: Oprah Behind the Scenes.

We had a playful conversation with Jonna Watson, host of the upcoming podcast 5 Minute Inner Child that highlights the transformation that happens when we delight our inner child. It only takes 5 minutes to get started. She started her 12 Days of Inner Child Bingo that you can participate in if you go to her Instagram or FaceBook accounts. She talked about the benefits of play and wants to bring it back into adult life. Just imagine how alive the world would be if we brought more play and creativity into our lives! We all agreed we’d like more play and more naps!

What a heartwarming and inspiring talk we had with Angela Crump Volcy! As a busy, successful woman in corporate America, she was witness to the stresses and pressure in the business environment. She tells what shifted for her as she saw her friend and mentor succumb to cancer. She now is a speaker and coach to help busy, stressed business women live their lives on their terms. She has a podcast that she has kept short enough to listen to on a quick bathroom break!

Today we talked with the owner and founder of Leaping Letters, Katie Doughty. She’s a former elementary school teacher turned entrepreneur and homeschool mama of two. The online preschool started during the pandemic to help children have a sense of belonging and connection during a difficult time. The preschool has grown into a resource for caregivers to use on their own time with over 40 hours of recorded lessons that cover everything from A-Z including stories, character building, movement activities, art projects and so much more! It’s like the Netflix of preschool! Katie continues to grow and expand her business. Her latest project is Raising Kind Humans to involve the whole family in community service that teaches about getting involved in community, problem solving, and learning how to love and support others. We end up talking about her book she’s working on, her teaching her daughter about business, and you hear our BTS process of deciding how to record our episodes in the future!

We had fun talking to local sci-fi rock band Shatter The Moon in their practice studio. We even got to hear their original music live! Zack Brad, the bass player/lead singer, Luis Villas, the guitarist and Andrew Fusco on drums. Listen in as we hear their origin story and the riff that seeded their song SlipSpace. They tell us about their writing process (anyone know what a polyrhythm is?!) and the defining moments that lead them to pursue music. As a concept band, their songs SlipSpace, The Third Law, and Art of the Steal tell a story. Listen to them on Spotify, Apple, Amazon, YouTube, anywhere you get music. Look for them in March when they’ll be performing in downtown Las Vegas.
