Where's our fellow small-towners at?

I've got another different type of conversation for this 15MF as I sit down with Josh Emerick once more, this time to talk about being from a small town and growing as a human being. We cover how growing up in small towns can often be like being stuck in a bubble, how it's important to have pride in your hometown regardless of it's stature, breaking the stigmas and mentality that often comes with this, why making sure to seek other cultures, ways of living and environments is important for our growth & much more!

Jessica Kapusta, AKA Jessica Cabbage (her real translated last name!) is a recipe creator, food stylist, lifestyle blogger, and all in all, just an avid idea-tryer! 

In this conversation, as I get to know Jessica for the first time, we talk a lot about the power of letting yourself just try the things you want to try, erasing the fear of failure, and letting yourself "quit" if you feel like it. We also talk about the importance of taking breaks from things, the fun of juggling several ideas at once, not waiting until you're old and retired to enjoy life, how everyone can have an audience on social media, how she got involved in the world of food branding and styling + much more!

Gabby Garcia (@ggwellness) is back for another 15 minute chat, this time educating me on what exactly "holistic health' is, and what it isn't.

She breaks down holistic health to simpler straight forward terms, explaining it's less magical than it sounds. She covers what a "circle of life tool" is, how health plays into not just focusing on one aspect of life and ignoring everything else, how there's not a one-size-fits-all health answer, and breaks down what primary and secondary foods are, and infact, how half of it isn't actual food at all!

Ryan Husband is the owner of lifestyle & activewear brand LRX Apparel.

While LRX is lead by the moniker "live perscribed", Ryan himself very much molds his life after this. In this episode while we dive into how he created his fast-growing apparel brand, we uncover how it originated from a contemplation of taking his own life and the conversation with his Mother that changed his path, the meaning of "live perscribed", learning to not get caught up in doing only what others want, discovering and owning your "love language" in life, how our minds can often tell us lies and how to fight it, getting uncomfortable to grow & seriously a ton more of really spot on, direct and to the point advice about life, business and tons in between.

William Fairbanks is back on the show, this time chatting with me about building or becoming part of healthier and more authentic communities. Whether it's friends, clients, coworkers, networking events or your literal neighbors, there's many ways to enter these communities in more positive ways than we may see at first, past just hoping to just meet someone and get something out of it. What can we bring to the interaction?

This week I sit down with Executive Director of the Franklinton Arts District, Johnny Riddle for an awesome conversation. 

There's SO much good stuff in this one about the Columbus arts community, and of course, more so Franklinton and what's happening within. Johnny also shares his story of how he found himself in this position, his love for community building and connecting, the power in creating our own opportunities, making sure to "show up" when they're presented, his battle with sobriety, and much more. This was a blast of a conversation and I'm stoked it all came to be via some social media interactions!
