Ineq and I talk about her trip to the top of Kilimanjaro, frostbite, and the highs and lows of stretching your limits. You’ll enjoy this follow up with my intrepid friend.

Patti is the owner, editor and publisher of the Northwest Observer. The newspaper of record for this part of the world, is part of everybody’s life in northwest Guilford County. We talk about her beginnings, her philosophy and we’re she’s headed. She’s a great conversationalist and someone you need to get to know. Ask anyone who knows her. 

A young family that had an idea and did something about  changing up their lives.  They went from a suburban lifestyle, with all that that entails, and jumped right into “micro homesteading”. Which entails…. well… chickens, goats and bunnies. 
Give a listen to our conversation and be inspired that these crazy ideas of yours can actually become  your reality.

Mr. Layton has been the PE teacher at Summerfield    Elementary School for almost 30 years. And this will be his last year. We talk about his legacy, what might be next, and what it’s like being small town famous. I know a lot of teachers, and Mr Layton is my favorite. Never taught either of my kids. I just wish he had.  Enjoy this conversation with a guy who makes a difference.
