STRIVECast

For our first interview episode of 2019, we sit down with our friend from Patriot Subaru, Tom Talbott! We at STRIVE know Tom well from our partnership with this wonderful business- Tom works with us on our Annual Kevin on the Roof event (which Patriot Subaru is the location of), our Share the Love partnership and much more. With Jeff on vacation, we're excited to introduce our first guest host- Susie! Susie is a long time STRIVE member, and we think she nailed her first time being on the air. Happy listening!

Happy 2019 from the STRIVECast! On today's New Year's special, we start off the new year right with our podcast family. Pete and Olivia interview Jeff and Noel with some hilarious lightning-round esque questions, and the gang talks about their New Year's resolutions. We are excited for all that 2019 has in store for us, and hope you are too! Thank you for listening!

Merry Christmas from STRIVE! On today's episode of the STRIVECast, we sit down with STRIVE U Admissions Coordinator Bill Hughes. Bill has a long and important history of working with people with disabilities in the state of Maine, and we are so lucky to have him working with us here at STRIVE! Bill chats with Jeff & Noel all about their alma mater, STRIVE U, and the admissions process we have for this program. STRIVE U is proud to be one of the first post-secondary ed programs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the country, and we hope you enjoy learning all about it! Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating with the STRIVECast! See you New Year's Day!

On a VERY exciting episode of the STRIVECast, we chat with our very own Senator, Angus King! Senator King took some time to hop on the phone with Jeff and Noel and talk all things politics, Maine, DC, and more. Tune in to find out how Jeff & Noel get on a first-name basis with "Angus"! Senator King and his staff are long time friends of STRIVE, and we can't thank him enough for taking time out of his incredibly busy schedule (which he tells us all about!) to join us on the STRIVECast. You can find the STRIVECast wherever you get your podcasts- on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play and on our website at www.pslstrive.org/strivecast. Happy listening!

Today on the STRIVECast, chatting with us all the way from Slovenia, is Clare Egan, the Olympic Biathelete! Originally from Cape Elizabeth, Clare is a true Mainer at heart and even went to High School with a few STRIVE alumni. Clare, Jeff and Noel chat all about the Olympics, biathlons, their favorite things about Maine, and some crazy fun Lightning Round Questions. Thanks so much to Clare for calling in all the way from Europe. Happy listening!

On a very exciting episode of the STRIVECast, today we interview John and Mark Cronin of John's Crazy Socks! John, a young man with Down Syndrome, and his father started this company in 2016 with a mission to spread happiness through socks - and boy have they achieved it. Not only do they run an incredibly successful business, but they also show each and every day just what people of all ability levels are capable of! They employ several people with intellectual disabilities and are changing the face of today's workforce. We couldn't be happier to have them join the STRIVECast today, and we hope you enjoy their interview with Jeff and Noel
