On this episode we sit down with Moms Demand Action Clark County Chapter Lead Heather Freitag and Commnications Lead Deanna Woolston to discuss Moms Demand Action. Who are they? What do they do? Why are they doing it? Is it just for Moms? 

This episode is for everyone! We wanted to throw light on this because it is important to understand their work and what they are trying to do for our country. One of the biggest misconceptions is that they are trying to take people's guns away, this is a false narative and what a better way to squash that theory than actually sitting down and talking to them.

We really apprecited that Heather and Deanna took the time out of their busy schedules to sit down with us. Thank you so much ladies, you two are so sweet. We appreciate you and the work you are doing to make a difference.

On this episode we sit down with Ami Baio who is the creator of the card game called You Think You Know Me and we discuss how she came up her idea for the game and everything else that has come along with it. Recently she was able to place the game in Powell's book store as well. Pretty exicting stuff! 

One of the most awesome things about her story is how she raised almost $30,000 on the website www.kickstarter.com!! 

This episode is so inspring and if you happen to have an idea, this could really push you take the leap of faith that it requires. Ami is such an inspiration and we hope that you find this episode as inspring as we did! It was such a pleasure to have her and we are so grateful that she took the time to sit down with us. Thank you, Ami! 

You can purchase the game at www.youthinkyouknowme.cards and at Powell's Book Store. The game is perfect for any occasion and the best thing about it is anyone can play, even kids!
