April 29, 2021Episode 6: Going Fishing With Mike Belvedere
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.
