People I Know Show

My brother Chuck Carstensen continues to inspire me and others with a mindset towards self-improvement. When something major disrupts our plans we need to pivot and make progress so that we can prosper in a new way.

In this conversation we share ideas and examples of how we are adjusting our lives during the pandemic. Plus, Chuck shares stories of how his first time skiing didn't go well and why he should have been more aware before stepping into a restroom.

This conversation was captured as a live Facebook video on April 23.

As Superintendent/Principal, Ryan has been challenged to oversee and execute an entire new way of educating school children. Some kids did not have internet access at home. Others rely on the school meals.

The communities of Tri-County Schools in northwestern Minnesota, like all school districts in the state, have transitioned as best they can.

Ryan was my first best friend during our time in school in Browerville, Minnesota. He was my guest on Episode 11 of the podcast as well. During that episode we talked a lot about his passion for genealogy and family history and got back into that topic near the end of this conversation.

This conversation was presented in live video on Facebook on April 14th.

Mariah (Moss) Schumacher's plan for an extensive journey through Europe laid the groundwork for my recent opportunity to travel there. My week in Greece split between Athens and Crete gave me ample time to begin to know Mariah who has been touring the continent since July 2019.

Mariah finds beauty in places and situations others might not. Mariah has endless love to give, which helps to explain how polyamory exists in their life. Mariah's awareness of their own energy and that of others helps to explain why they choose to use gender-neutral pronouns to describe themself.

Mariah's journey through Europe and journey through life is one that is impacting many.

Mariah uses WorkAway to allow for her many months abroad.

Waking Up is the meditation app mentioned.

Gene Healy is someone I have met a few times in the past year and the more I am around him the more fascinated I became. He has meandered around the world for many years learning about himself and incorporated much of what he has discovered into his healing practice in Florida where he leads his clients through acupuncture, meditation and more.

He has briefly been a rapper. He has briefly been a monk. He has a great story about a silent retreat. He's always seeking to learn and grow. He and I share that mentality and I met him because of that at some events led by Michael Bernoff.
