Well Constructed is a nonprofit organization committed to bringing drinking water to as many people as possible. They currently partner with local communities and contractors to build wells and establish well maintenance programs in the Upper East Region of Ghana. I had the pleasure to sit down with four Well Constructed members, three of whom were dialing in from Africa to tell their story. I hope you feel as inspired as I did, and be sure to visit their website, make a donation, or follow Well Constructed on Facebook.

Sage B. Hobbs has been interested in human relationships and communication since she was a little girl. Now, as an author, speaker, coach, mom, podcast host, "retired" school counselor, & philanthropist, she's focused on helping people redefine how they live, love, and lead. Please check out Sage's podcast, Naked Conversations (including her episode with my wife Natasha), as well as her book Naked Communication: Courageously Create the Relationships You Really Want.

When I started the podcast I hadn't planned on doing an episode all about Weezer, but a handful of folks were interested in the story of how I got to play with and record with the band, and it's one worth telling! Hope you enjoy listening to me chat with my good friend (and musician) Kevin Punzalan, as we recall how our Weezer recordings took place a decade ago. For reference, here is an NBC interview that is referenced, Good People song 'overstarting' (from a band Kev and I were in), and also the full SNL sketch that aired six weeks ago with Matt Damon and Leslie Jones. 

My friend & trainer Josh Ruchwarger has a pretty unique background. Despite facing challenges across his health and family life, Josh has thrived, and is now working to open a new kind of gym. Called Beyond Bold Fitness, Josh is committed to creating a more holistic and inclusive fitness experience. In the interview you'll hear Josh reference the book Better Than Steroids from Dr. Willey, as well as a handful of other philosophies regarding health and well being. Hear his thoughts on personal health and feel free to submit any questions to [email protected] and I'll be sure Josh receives your note!

When I hopped into a Lyft car at the end of a long offsite for work, I didn't expect to meet someone so inspirational. Eric has faced major health challenges, including cancer, and had recently adopted a puppy named Jocelyn to serve as a support animal of sorts. Despite any hardship, Eric remains focused on his own recovery as well as helping others. I hope you enjoy his positive attitude, humorous stories and words of wisdom as we close out 2018 (maybe one day I'll hear him sing Living on a Prayer in a karaoke bar). Thanks all!

Join me as I chat with my good friend Mike, as we explore what makes for a great podcast, and what some of the best practices are. You'll hear from punk rock band NOFX (I reference their song Thank God for Mondays). Bonus content from our kids as they play pool, foosball, and video games at the Google office in Boulder. Finally, we end with a quick discussion about a business Mike and I are trying to get off the ground in 2019.

My kids find hearing their voice back over a recording is fun, so I interviewed my 7-year-old, and then my 4-year-old. This is pure silliness and there really is no point, although they did create a new holiday regarding flatulent plants (which apparently is a thing - I checked). So that's something, I guess?

Traveling from one country to another is a great experience but immigrating is another story. On today's episode, I talked to a Lyft driver who's from Armenia who immigrated to the US during the heat of the Cold War. We talked about their way of life in Armenia compared to the US and much other stuff. Today, his was a different country and according to him, if you want to experience great hospitality, travel to Armenia.

The first time you sit in a Tesla you're pretty much sold. That said, if you have a sizeable family (I have 3 boys), you're more likely to purchase a minivan or SUV. Hear my story of purchasing a 7 passenger used Tesla for way less than you might think, from blues great Kenny Wayne Shepherd (I reference his hit Blue on Black as well as this guitar solo). Lastly, I'm hoping to connect used Tesla sellers with buyers, so hit me up at [email protected] and maybe we can make some connections!
