  • Episode 38 Seeing and Believing!

    I'm so thankful to anyone who says yes to coming on the podcast it means the world to me. Today I have Chef John Howie and his story is amazing! We sat in his beautiful restaurant, Seastar located in the heart of Bellevue,Wa. He told me about childhood stories to finally opening his first place and having through out his career great people or as he would say a good team that surrounded him. John also expressed how you have to see it first and believe before you actually see the manifestation of it! There were so many amazing things he talked about but one of them was how he along with others puts together a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner or ill say feast for people who are less fortunate in life every year. Chef John Howie has accomplished so much and still continues to give back to the community. I encourage you to try his locations being The Bravern in Bellevue at John Howie Steak House, Beardslee Public house in Bothell,Wa or Seastar Restaurant &Raw Bar in Bellevue as well! IT WILL BE WORTH THE DRIVE OR VISIT! Love you all and thanks for listening can't wait to hear your feed back.

  • Episode 33 On going battles!
    Todays episode is special and the reason I love The Drive project podcast is because for some people who have or will come on this may be the first time they have ever told their story! Today I have Lesley Hall Smith who battles daily with Ulcerative Colitis a chronic inflammatory disease that causes severe pain and inflammation in the digestive tract. I have personally been to the hospital myself to just sit with her and pray and believe for things to get better. We however thank God, due to she has had one surgery but has a couple more to go but everyday is a battle not just in the body but in the mind. Lesley said sometimes its hard to just be positive all the time even though you know the victory is coming. This is the first part of her journey. She will be coming back on to share more about her story as it continues to unfold. You can also donate to support thousands of people who struggle with the disease at Crohn's & Colitis Foundation. We love you Lesley and our hearts and prayers and faith are with you all the way to the finish line of victory.
