Episode Overview
I chat with Mike about his experiences with all kinds of fishing ranging from offshore to fly fishing. We talk about Mike growing up with four father figures that heavily influenced his life, having the opportunity to catch a 63" Wahoo because his friend was sick, and a life-changing fishing story that didn't actually involve fishing that shaped Mike's perspective on life forever ("Life is too short to not do the things you love.")

Episode Overview
I talk with Brian, a self-professed Star Wars nerd, about his lifelong love for making art and how he's using cutting-edge technology to make props such as firearms, lasers and armor inspired by video games and movies. He shares about his journey starting with traditional tools and materials to make props from scratch but now uses 3D printers and lasers to make his lifelike props that look like they came right out of an episode of The Mandalorian. We also talk about taking ideas from concept to reality and finding your tribe with people that share the same interests and passions.

In this episode, I talk with Kenn Glenn about collecting Power Rangers toys, memorabilia and nostalgic items from his childhood (like Ziploc bags). We discuss the backstory of Power Rangers, how the show/toyline got started in the U.S., and why the show was like Saved By the Bell with Godzilla live action. We also talk about how toys have changed since the 80's/90's, the ratio of adults-to-kids toys in the stores, Marie Kondo-ing a collection, and Ken getting his name in the credits of a Power Rangers DVD set.

In this episode, I talk with my good friend Ross Schoenbaechler about playing fantasy basketball (and other fantasy sports). We discussed how fantasy basketball works, formats (rotisserie vs. head-to-head), the comradery involved in playing a game together with friends, and the joy of winning a league and then turning around to pay a kid's medical bill with the grand prize money. Ross also shares about the time he didn't make the playoffs in a league and how he tried to get another owner kicked out of the league so he could get the final spot.
