July 26, 2019 Episode 28: Chaicee Hendren | Thank you cancer. You made me a better human.
One year ago, 16 year-old Chaicee Hendren was a typical American teen-ager. Rebellious for rebellion's sake. A little too interested in boys for her parents comfort. Addicted to her cell phone. A class act, sweet, kind pain in the butt. A diagnosis of B cell Acute Lymphocytic leukemia started her on a path that changed her life...in so many ways, for the better. Sit back while Chaicee and her father Josh Hendren take us on their journey. For questions, comments, advice or just a simple listening ear, Chaicee can be contacted via Instagram at @chaicee_danielle or Facebook at @ChaiceeD

July 08, 2019 Hopeless to Dopeless - An interview with a former heroin addict. (Part 1)
A great and terrible story of a young mans journey through addiction to freedom. I met Marshall Roberts in 2005 in the hallways of the Highland, Utah 18th Ward (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) during weeky youth activities. I recall a sad, angry teenager who wouldn't crack a smile if you gave him a hundred bucks. He was a little too cool for his own good or so it would seem. In this 2-part interview we do a deep dive into the the reasons behind the sadness and the depths to which it took him over the next 15 years. We travel from the peaceful community he once called home to living on the streets of Salt Lake City to 8 years of incarceration in the Salt Lake County Jail and Utah State Prison to a free and happy man with a new hope for a better life. Marshall can be reached via email at [email protected] and is also available for speaking engagements to share his story with any youth or adult group event.

June 19, 2019 Episode 26: California State Senator, Brian Dahle | A real life Mr. Smith Goes to Washington...or Sacramento.
Our guest today is, real life Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, newly elected California State Senator Brian Dahle. The good Senator talks about his journey into California politics and why he does it. We discuss the challenges and joys of having a platform to make real and lasting change in northeastern California. Dahle, with his wife Megan and their three children own and operate their own business in Lassen County called Big Valley Seed Company. He knows how to represent his constituents as he is one of them. Dahle talks about how he gets things done by being willing to treat his political opponents as friends instead of enemies. Not an easy task in the toxic and divided political climate that engulfs our country. A little small town goodness goes a long way towards real progress.
