  • New York City and the Mystery Man

    Welcome to the vibrant chaos of New York City, where every corner holds a story and every encounter is a chance for serendipity to unfold.

    Join me as I share the whirlwind of unexpected moments and delightful surprises that colored my time in the Big Apple. Picture this—a cozy café scene, where I became an unintentional spectator to a first date. The sweet, awkward charm of their budding connection reminded me of the beauty in life's simple yet profound moments.

    But the surprises didn’t stop there! In a city teeming with millions, I crossed paths with an old client from San Diego, turning a bustling street into a joyous reunion. Laughter, stories, and a flood of nostalgia, all in the midst of New York's perpetual motion.

    And let me tell you about my 10-year quest! The elusive "blue and white" paper coffee cup—an emblem of the city’s rhythm—has evaded me. But oh, the thrill of the chase! From one coffee shop to another, the search continues, weaving an epic scavenger hunt through the city’s streets.

    From chance encounters to romantic rendezvous witnessed and treasures hunted, this podcast chronicles the vibrant tapestry of experiences that define the heartbeat of New York City. Stay tuned for tales of serendipity, human connections, and the whimsical quests that make life an adventure.

    xoxo Ash

  • Taylor Swift & S.D.E

    Hey there, SmashSquad! 🎤 Grab your popcorn and get ready for an episode that's straight out of a blockbuster movie! In this episode, I'm going to take you through my incredible experience seeing Taylor Swift live in concert ......and by concert I mean movie! haha

    Picture this: the lights dim, heart is racing, the crowd roars, and there she is – Taylor Swift, the ultimate bad ass in the music industry. From the moment she stepped on that stage, she owned it like a boss. Her performance wasn't just a concert; it was a cinematic journey filled with electrifying energy, heart-stopping vocals, and a few tears.

     Taylor's ability to connect with her audience, to make each person feel like they're a part of something bigger, is nothing short of remarkable. And, believe me, she knows how to throw a show that stays with you long after the curtains close.

    Oh, and speaking of things that stick with you, I've got a new acronym to share: S.D.E. But you'll have to tune in to the full episode to uncover what it stands for! Trust me, it's worth the listen.

    So, join me as I unpack the sheer magnificence of Taylor Swift's concert, and discover my unpleasant experience with S.D.E. I promise you won't want to miss a beat.

    Thanks for tuning in, and as always, I'm glad to be back! Keep rocking, keep listening, and until next time, xoxo Ash. 🎶✨

  • Wrongfully Convicted of Murder w/ Noah Pines

    Ashley is joined by Noah Pines a highly recognized lawyer. 
    We talk about the GA Innocence Project for Joey Watkins.  Joey spent 22 years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit.  His case was profiled on the Undisclosed podcast, which is probably the first true crime podcast created.  

    As a lawyer, Noah is known for his innate ability to simplify complex issues into concepts that are easy for judges and juries to understand. Throughout his career, Noah has conducted more than 150 jury trials, and written more than 100 appeals.  His ability to methodically evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the cases he handles allows him to act quickly, focus resources where they are needed, and develop multi-tiered strategies for his clients. His meticulous trial preparation, his knowledge of the law, and his mastery of the courtroom make him a tremendous asset to the clients he represents. 

    Noah is a regular guest on CourtTV, he has appeared on 20/20, and he is often asked for his legal opinion by local and national news sources.  Noah also spends time talking to high school kids about how to steer clear from the pitfalls they encounter.

    Outside of being a lawyer, Noah spends his time training for endurance events - completing in challenges like 29029, running 53 5ks and 53 10ks in a year, and volunteering for the Kyle Pease Foundation (pushing wheelchairs for athletes with disabilities).  

    Most importantly, he is a husband and a father of two kids & two dogs, plus a grand-dog and a grand-cat.
