We made a rookie podcast mistake putting Josh’s in 3 of the last 4 podcasts (Josh Rosenthal, Josh Neumann, and Josh Parks). No one is going to call us out for it so we’ll take care of it ourselves. This weeks features include Josh Neumann, founder of Kind Lips, Jost Parks, founder of GhostFit, and Back End Show #5.

Tommy Laken is an avid listener of The Backpocket ever since Sam Schuneman, lead intern, was brought on to the team. Tommy is a current student at Minnesota State University, Mankato with an average quality of goaltending. Following the sports trend, as the number two in high school, Tommy is nearly a scratch golfer. During his free time, he loves tripping up to Canada to bring back their snacks (spoiler: it’s Canadian Ruffles and Canadian Jiffy). He loves life. Tommy and Intern Sam are best buds, and we enjoyed having him on the show.

This woman is a bad ass. Plain and simple. Jennifer Tavernier is a former American Ninja Warrior competitor and current fitness influencer living in the Twin Cities. From being a tennis player at Bethel, to getting into stroller fitness (this is wild), to getting into HIIT, to starting her instagram only 3 years ago, to finding American Ninja Warrior Jen's journey is incredible.

We are really starting to do as those do within the sandbox. In this episode, expect to hear a full announcement of the Backpocket Boys committing to Greenway hockey for the 2020 season. Sam claims to be the worlds greats Big Buck Hunter player, so we're hosting a tournament in the coming weeks to truly to determine this grand claim (hit our line if you want to be included). Andrew is scared about his hairline... nothing new there. We all think he's doing alright. Declan realizes he should start closing his legs more. When it comes to what we learned, Andrew watched Free Solo and learned about Alex Honnald's ability to combat fear. Declan wants sphere packaging implemented ASAP, and Sam brings the youth to the table with young rappers. To Vinny Amendola and Mr. & Mrs. Inserra, thanks for your continued support. Cheers to the Marketing Interns!

 Josh Neumann is the founder of Kind Lips, a company amplifying kindness in the world using lip balm as the vehicle for change. What started as a project making lip balm in his kitchen to now selling in major stores is one hell of a journey we're excited for you to listen to.
