Loving Life Podcast

In this episode, something new. Have you ever been somewhere just "people watching" and you see someone and you say to yourself, "I wonder what's that guys story?" EVERYONE has a story. I got to sit with Kevin Jepsen, retired pitcher who played with the Rays, Angels, Twins and Rangers, and his friend Kirby Yates who currently plays for the Padres. They have a new business venture called "CupCheck". It a new game you can take anywhere and everyone can play. Perfect for tailgating and more! Hear their story now...

This episode is all about LIFE. Or at least the unwritten rules. They are not official, but they are common knowledge. Things you learned as a youngster from your parents or grandparents. They are not hard, but some people just don't get it. Check them out!

In this episode, Sandra and I discuss teaching the kids personal finance. Should they be learning about this in school? They don't teach it...should they? We have plenty of banks and credit card companies teaching the young ones how to get in debt, but who is teaching them to be responsible with their money? Teach them young. Start them on the right habits!

In this episode, Sandra and I discuss family vacations. It's always a struggle synchronizing times to go on vacation and after that, where do you go? We talk about 10 different things to do with the family this summer (or whenever) that you might not normally do. Try something new!

In this episode, Sandra & I talk about our experience at 30/10 Weight Loss For Life and our journey to lose weight. It was VERY eye opening. I got some work to do!

In this episode, how to clean it up! My daughter Sofia has been watching a show on Netflix called "Tidying Up With Marie Kondo". These are some of the tips Marie gives about knocking out clutter in your home, and getting organized!

In this episode, I do my best to lay out some life skills that parents want to teach their kids. Basic stuff, but not so basic to teach, or is it? You be the judge. 

"That guy cut me off!". "She drives too fast, nobody know how to drive!". How many frustrating things can happen on the road in one trip? In this episode Sandra and I take some time to "vent" a bit on our pet peeves of traffic. Sandra may have issues. Just sayin'.

Inspiration. You can get it from a lot of places. I got a heavy dose of inspiration from the kids and families, and staff at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. I could talk for days about my visit. Before I left, I had a chance to spend a few minutes with Jessica Hall, a Development Represenative for St. Jude. We talked about St. Jude and how she got involved, and her journey with the organization.   

How would like to fall in love with something as early as 7 years old and do THAT for the rest of your life- and do it with so much love and passion? That is Gareb Shamus. He is the co-founder and CEO of the ACE Comic Con which is here in Phoenix this weekend. I have talked to a lot of people in my 34 year radio career, and I have to say that this conversation is easily in my TOP 5! (probably #1 but don't tell him that!) What an amazing person with so much to talk about. I love his passion and dedication to bringing this wonderful event to Phoenix. Learn how it all started, and what to expect this weekend right here in the podcast!
