Rebel Storytellers Podcast

Brad & Steve

Brad and Steve talk about what goes into a collaborative partnership. Basically it’s blood, sweat and mutual respect. (Kinda sounds like a catchy rap lyric from an after school special.) Brad talks about one of his partners at Rebel Pilgrim, Isaac Stambaugh, and how you need a mash up of dreamers and doers to get stuff done.

The fine artists, Collin Rowland and Dan Augur, sit down and discuss their origin story and the secret behind their artistic collaboration. From their website, “Born out of a love for strong contemporary design and thought-provoking narrative, Rowland Augur uses mixed media to create visually stunning fine art. They have displayed and sold their artwork at some of the most prestigious art galleries in Cincinnati Ohio and now nationally. They’ve recently won the highly notable “Sculptor Of The Year” award at The 2012 International “Art Comes Alive” Art Competition at Art Design Consultants, Cincinnati OH.”

Brad and Steve sit down with Jim Zartman to discuss the neurotic tug of war that happens inside their brains during most moments of their lives. It’s a little bit of group therapy that they hope other folks can relate to. Otherwise, it might be time to seek professional help. They discuss how to be present in the moment and how to combat the negative voice that wants to ruin even the best moments.

Brad & Steve

Brad shares the story of building an ice rink with his father. Steve interviews Isaac Stambaugh and David Eaton, producers of Hope Bridge, a motion picture making its theatrical release on May 8 and national DVD release on May 26.

After his father’s shocking suicide, Jackson (Booboo Stewart) begins a search for the truth behind the devastating decision his father made. A violent outburst at school crosses his path with a counselor, Eric (Kevin Sorbo) who wants to help Jackson deal with his grief, and Sophie (Rebeca Robles), a girl with a troubled past of her own. With Sophie’s assistance, Jackson travels down a twisting road leading to a decades-old secret that could destroy him. As Eric’s guidance falls on deaf ears, Jackson’s quest for answers is only breeding more questions. Will he be doomed to repeat the same cycle, or will he choose to journey forward and find hope for his future?

You can buy tickets here and preorder the DVD here.
