We had the pleasure of sitting down with our BRILLIANT friend, Erin Gariepy, about her life as a Graduate Assistant (which we didn't even know existed.) She taught us about her work in the University Journal, her job teaching high school students, and the struggle that accompanies being a scholar. This was an eye opening and wonderful conversation!

We had the pleasure of sitting down with another friend this week; Stefanie Revesz dropped in to tell us the tale of her journey into the educational system. She tells us how long shes known that she's wanted to teach, what her student teaching experience was like, what it's like teaching in your own community.

Attention! This is our first attempt at a Skype interview. There were problems making it happen, but I (mostly) solved them. There were problems editing it, but I (sort of) solved those too! We think it went pretty well, but you be the judge.

Today we had the pleasure of staying up to have a late night conversation with our favorite person in Las Vegas, Nicole Miller! She spoke to us about the life of a stay at home mom, and how fulfilling she finds it; as well as her life as a military spouse and how that has been an adventure that has taken her all the way around the world and back again. Listen and enjoy.

This episode kicks off our two-week Parents' Appreciation event. Here we have Sarah and Clif Millimen, who speak with us in great detail about what it's really like to raise a child with developmental disabilities. Sarah has a wealth of experience on the subject due to her career so that helped immensely, and there was definitely a lot of knowledge dropped, so we hope you enjoy!

We finally got the chance to catch up with Body Builder (and dear friend) Brad Hutcheson, and it was an excellent time! He spoke to us at length about how much work goes into body building, and surprised us with just how much more goes into it OUTSIDE of the gym. He also talks about the "Steinstossen," a contest of which he is an annual competitor, and a word I butchered in the intro, after nailing it the entire interview.

This time we speak with Kevin "Karp" Lynch, someone who if you are familiar with the Toledo music scene, should be someone you have heard of. He talks about his band, Ghost Native, what it's like to tour, as well as releasing their first full length album in less than a month!

This time we sit down with Julia Steel, a Model and Youtuber! And for the first time, we have video! She brought her camera and recorded, there is about 6 minutes of our show over in video form on her site. www.juliasteelofficial.com

Julia talks with us about her path to where she is now, and the truth behind being a model and a Youtuber, someone who lives their entire career in the spotlight. She talks about the way people treat you when you are an icon and how easy it is to hide behind the veil that is the internet in this day and age, forgetting that regardless of how good a person looks, that they are still a human being. It's a fun show, and we learned a lot, and we absolutely hope you enjoy it!
