Rumor Has It ...

On the podcast this week, Rob and Meghan talk with Cate Brinnon, owner of Kai Yoga Studio. Cate has quite the story from growing up in Washington DC as the daughter of a Congressman, the sister of a Hollywood Actor, and the proud owner of a thriving yoga studio. She is filled with passion, community, and a heart for doing what is good, just, and right - something clearly passed down from her Grandfather. We hope you enjoy this conversation with Cate as much as we did.

On this week's Podcast, Rob and Meghan talk with Retired Fairborn City School Science Teacher, Chamber Director, mentor, grandfather, father, husband, community advocate, and friend, Mr. Tom Kirsch. His story is compelling, heartwarming, and worthy of having a box of tissues handy all at the same time. Tom's love for his students, his late wife Wendy, and the Fairborn community is infectious; we hope you enjoy Episode 31.

Rob and Meghan welcomed Retired Air Force Lt. Colonel Fred Pumroy on this week's podcast. Fred was most recently honored as the Grand Marshall of the 4th of July Parade in Fairborn, but that is only one of the many accolades and honors that have been given to him throughout his life. He has flown planes for Generals, been shot at in wars, and been called upon for special assignments because of his expert knowledge and skills. On top of all that, Fred wrote a book, started a business that helped other smaller businesses, and logged more volunteer hours than we can count. This conversation was a true blessing; hopefully, you will also enjoy it.
