It's a New Year, are you thinking of starting up a new diet as a resolution? In this 15MF, Episode 14's Sarah Reed is back with tons of new health knowledge! In this one, Sarah teaches Ross (and you of course) all about what's behind the curtain when it comes to dieting and the culture surrounding it, and namely "fad" diets. She shares some do's and don'ts with it all, what to look out for, and all in all, how to actually start eating healthy without jumping headfirst into the current dieting trend!

This week I sit down with my friend Stefan Brandow. Stefan is a professional skater, freelance graphic designer, clothing brand owner & all in all just a great hard working dude who pursues whatever he wants to do, and does it all while being himself. We chat about his small town upbringing, being an outcast, his love for skating, creating his own path to pursue exactly who he wanted to be, living on couches and in a car for a while, getting his dream jobs and finding out they aren't what he wanted, and how to unapologetically be yourself in your life.

In this 15MF, reoccurring guest Josh Emerick is back, this time chatting with Ross all about how to start a business. Given Ross & Josh's many business and brand ventures nearly always include each other, this also means they've had many ups and downs together in the business world. This episode sheds some light on the lessons they've learned, leaning into questions they often get asked about how in the heck one can venture down the path of entrepreneurship and the mistakes to avoid!

In this one I'm joined by my friend Alex Chaney of the band A Story Told & of the Happy Unhappy Podcast! As we dig into Alex's story, we chat about his venture into music, the other creative pathways that world opened him up to, & what the mental balance of chasing multiple goals + passions in your life is really like behind the screen.

In this one I sit down with Adam Lehman, one half of The Wonder Jam from here in Columbus Ohio, the other half, Allie Lehman, was the very first episode ever released of what you don't hear, and now, here we are, nearly an entire calendar year later, I'm back to chat with Adam.

In a fun conversation that is Adam and I's first time getting to know each other, we chat about what this whacky year has been like for him and his team, how they still managed to launch 3 sister brand's for their company this year, how he does business, how he got his entrepreneur start via running a pig farm, and much more!

It's easy to get stuck in a constant "grind" or "hustle", AKA "go mode" and praise the idea of never stopping, right?

Happy Friday y'all! In this episode of 15 Minute Fridays, Nate Winkelmes (EP 05) returns to chat with me about his thoughts, opinions, tips and tricks on how to not be consumed by your work or passion. We talk about how to detach yourself from your goals (in a positive way), making sure you know who you are without that "thing", simply understanding the power of just resting and not chasing the dream 24/7 and how taking that break DOESNT mean you're a quitter.

Happy Friday y'all! In this episode of 15 Minute Friday, Leah Ingram (EP 13) returns to chat with me about her thoughts, opinions, tips and tricks on work/life balance when it comes to pursuing multiple passions at once. We talk about how to lean into your hobbies more, how to manage your free time better, allowing multiple goals to intertwine to feed each other + much more as we break the 15 minute time limit and go to about 20 minutes!

In this episode I have an amazing conversation with Cincinnati Ohio based hip-hop artist Ray Will.

After initially meeting Ray as a client as we sat down for a meeting to chat about working together, it immediately hit me that not only was he a great person to talk to, but an incredibly passionate person on top of that. From that day, knowing that at some point I wanted to make this podcast happen, he was on my guest list. So, here it is! Ray opens up a lot in this episode making it one of the most tell-all stories to date, and simply a great episode.

Recurring 15 Minute Friday co-host Josh Emerick is back in this episode where he and Ross sat down and chatted over the importance of meetings and why you should be having more of them. While this was recorded pre-COVID, every point made still stands whether it's sitting down with someone in person or over Zoom, what matters in the end is about having communication before you work with someone!
