Join us for a super laid-back Season 01 wrap-up! And guess what? Becca's back, bringing along a super special guest—don't miss the fun!

In the season finale of “Off the Cuff,” I sit with Disney employee, and longtime pal, Mallory Quinn. This deep-dive conversation offers listeners a rare view into Mallory’s fascinating journey with Disney, and her work experiences at various Disney Parks. Mallory, a lifeguard turned boat captain, shares delightful anecdotes from her time at Disney Parks, and how her personal life weaved into her Disney dreams.

This episode is a treasure trove for Disney fans, brimming with insight about the distinct offerings of each park, revealing the vibrant cultural differences. The show captures her exciting Parisian work life; her life-changing experiences in the Disney College program—as well as some highlights of the practical aspects of applying for the program and its potential.

The episode concludes on a very human note – focusing on impactful programs like Make-A-Wish and actor Gary Sinise’s program for the children of fallen soldiers. Drawing upon her life-altering incident, Mallory emphasizes the power of compassion, significance of everyday experiences, importance of travel, and the pivotal role of kindness in our lives. This emotional conclusion is a toast to the beauty of living in the moment and the magic of life’s little victories.

I'm delighted to welcome retired Luitenieunt Brent Moore of the Georiga Department of Public Safety to the podcast! I met Brent while drone operating for a high school football official live stream. With drone technology as one of his skill areas, we immediately connected, and I quickly invited him to join me on the show.

Brent's career is teeming with fascinating missions, stories, and technology—much of which involving riding in helicopters and keeping people safe by looking for any potential radiation in an area.

Today, I have the privilege of welcoming Alison Sheryll onto the podcast! Alison's story is extraordinary, and I consider myself lucky for snagging her as a guest—simply by being in the right place at the right time.

Among many other things, Alison is a pet communicator, a world-traveling pianist, and a television personality. She is from London, England, and just so happened to be visiting one of my clients while I was there coincidentally capturing video content. This conversation is definitely one for the Off The Cuff hall-of-fame!

In our first-ever remote/virtual recording, I'm happy to have one of my very good friends Brent Bailey on the show this week! He and I met in my early days of high school; though, our close relationship began in 2012 when we collaborated on a feature-length documentary for his church as I was finishing up my degree in video production.

Brent graduated from Liberty University in Virginia, and we talk about how he won a full-ride scholarship with a hilarious video where he nearly put his life on the line! (kidding but kinda not...) He now lives in Detroit, Michigan, and is the worship leader on staff for his church.

Some other topics that come to mind include home recipes and methods for coffee-making; Apple and tech in general; our passion for art and music; and our mutual respect for musicians and songwriting.

As always, thanks for joining us! If you'd like to contact us, you can email us at [email protected].

Today I welcome Joy Battles to the show! Joy is a retired postal carrier and a personal family friend! Her son, Zach, is one of my all-time besties, and I've traveled with their family on more than one occasion—so I basically feel like one of their own.

I've always had a particular interest in the U.S. postal service—mainly because my mind simply wanders from time to time. It's one of three things I consider to be witchcraft in this world, and you'll have to listen to learn the other two! ;)

I greatly enjoyed my conversation with Joy as we dive into the nitty-gritty of all things U.S. mail. And believe me—there are many pieces of the puzzle that I had never even considered!

I'm super excited to welcome my dear friend Adam Colston to the podcast! He has one of the most interesting perspectives as both a preacher and a barber, so I'm delighted to sit and talk with him as this conversation has been one I've looked forward to for months. We chat about branding and marketing, church planting, a hilarious short-lived, fictional character that Adam has now blocked from all existence, and much more!

I'm honored to have Madeline on the podcast this week! Maddie is a brilliant tattoo artist based out of Arizona. When I heard she was in town I made sure to snag an hour with her to chat about her craft and the tattoo industry at large. Her work is mind-blowing, and I did my best to squeeze as much insight out of her as I could in our limited time together! Find her on Instagram via the link below.

As promised, here is a bonus episode from yesterday's release featuring my friend Jack!

The In The Moment series allows us to stray from our traditional format to bring you an intimate conversation that captures the essence of spontaneity. Sometimes, the most incredible discussions occur in brief moments that don't quite fill the duration of a full episode. But why should that stop us from sharing these captivating moments?

This is a collection of episodes where we embrace the beauty of unfiltered conversation. Much like our main show, the conversations in this series are completely off the cuff but offer a much more raw take on events happening almost in real time.
