Filmed on location at Bitters in Scottsdale, Az.

Today I crash Claire Fifield's event, Sip n Shop, to get the scoop on where she envisions her weekly markets and networks are heading. She is the owner of Luxx Wear and Fifi Designs and a "Ready Set Go Foundation" chapter president. Claire, AKA The Glam Momprenuer, started Sip n Shop as a market centered around women business owners to network themselves to a driven community. Events are held multiple times a week.

Today, I have the pleasure of sitting down with a huge literal figurehead in my life. John was my high school coach for practically all four years in football and baseball. He coached at Antelope Union High in Wellton, Az and was their athletic director for decades. And being from the Bronx, he's seen it all. John is a larger than life character who now uses his golden years to mentor, advise, referee, and write for the Yuma Daily Sun newspaper.

John Blabe's column and blog can be found on his website, https://www.jbcoachescorner.com/ , and/or with your Yuma Sun subscription.

John can be reached at [email protected]

Today, I am joined by long time friend and former high school teacher, Jeff "Pete" Peters. He has been a cornerstone of the Antelope Union High School community, in Wellton, Az, for over 30 years. Pete's wife, Jane, was my kindergarten teacher and he molded my eager mind throughout high school. 

Pete has been co-head of the Arizona State Student Council for many years, on top of his teaching duties. He also heads or has headed up Key Club, Ski Club, coached tennis, (and a numerous other projects. Too many to name) and just been a tremendous advocate for the youth of East Yuma County. 

Please reach out to support your local high schools with funding. Educators, like Pete, are in dire need of your encouragement to help our youth succeed in life.

"'Chalk It Up' to the old you."

Today, I'm joined by my good friend, Darren Joy. He's a lifelong guitarist and recently, hit three years of sobriety. Darren selflessly lets us get a glimpse into his past and the conquering of his demons. I am forever grateful for his generosity put on display during our recording. He is very active with Narcotics Anonymous and has made it his life's work to help others to walk the sober path.

Darren is one of the kindest souls I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He also takes a minute to serenade us with his acoustic guitar. I really hope you enjoy this one as it hits a more serious note than previous episodes.

If you or someone you love abuses drugs, please seek help. There are many resources available to you.
