Ep 68Episode 149: Lacee Smith | Payson, Utah city council candidate. Why I’m running and why you should care.
Welcome back to the program everyone and whomever else is listening. My guest today is Lacee Smith. She is currently running for one of the open seats on the Payson, Utah city council. With local elections just a week or so away, we’re talking about why she is passionate about running and why it’s important for you to exercise your voting rights. In the past, only a small percentage of eligible city voters turned out. People are losing faith in and disillusioned with the governmental process and fearful of a percieved “good ole boys” club mentality where decsions are made and money is spent without the approval of the citizens. She wants to bring a whole new set of eyes to the city which will foster a more transparent relationship between the residents and their government. Love her or hate her, you’ll always know where she stands on the issues.

Ep 66Episode 147: Cary Snowden | The obituary whisperer.
Welcome back to the show everyone and happy Halloween to those of you into all the dark and spooky things. Today, in light of the passing of Friends superstar, Matthew Perry and all the recent and and not-so-recent celebrity passings, my guest is Cary Snowden. He has been writing some of the most creative and heartfelt celebrity obituaries I’ve ever seen. Jump on in for a stroll into the macabre, the funny, the witty and sometimes a little heartbreak as we talk about his connection to the famously departed. Here is Matthew Perry's Obituary Matthew Perry has left the building. As one of the 'Friends,' Perry entertained the world and influenced culture through the 1990s in what was then the most popular sitcom TV had ever produced. Friends was huge, with many of my peers hosting weekly watching parties. We all loved it. Lynne and I still watch reruns as late as this week. Friends produced quotes and drama that were repeated and discussed at every company water cooler for the next week. Perry played Chandler Bing, a quick-witted Friend who offered the voice of reason to roomies Ross and Joey. He was my favorite on the show, and by the sound of it, probably yours, too. He did a handfull of other shows and a movie or two, but Friends will always be his legacy. He was terrific, and has left us far too soon. Drowning in a hot tub. 54.

Hello Parrish the Thoughters. Yes that is a word and you are my groupies. Enjoy your place in the club. My guest today for the fourth time is my friend Kris Kristensen. For those that are joining us for the first time or if it’s been a minute, three years ago, Kris was diagnosed with stage 4 Chondrosarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer in his pelvis and was literally weeks from the disease taking his life. To save him, doctors performed a grueling surgery called a Pelvectomy. Yes it’s as harrowing as it sounds. The entire left side of his pelvis had to be amputated and in the process he lost a perfectly good left leg. Needless to say his life was forever changed and this interview is part 4 in a series of life check-ins to see how he is often winning the battle to get his life back to a somewhat normal state and also a deep dive into the darkest recesses of his soul where he often ends up while trying to make sense of the why behind this new journey. He tells me that dying would have been easy. Living is the hardest part. Below are links to the previous three episodes of his journey. Interview #3 - The doctors took my leg and now my career won't have me back...yet. Interview #2 - 9 months with my new leg and an MBA in life. Interview #1 - I complained and it saved my life.

Mark Twain said "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.” The story you’re about to hear is one of the reasons this phrase exists.

Sadly, the truth has been buried by the local and national media, elected officials, hollywood stars and professional athletes and the consequences have been devastating. Until now. We talk about Johns book, "12 Seconds in The Dark, a Police Officers Firsthand account of Breonna Taylor Raid". He explains the minute by minute events of that fatal night and the subsequent fallout.

Episode 130: NPR’s StoryCorp Interview | Chiereme ”The Gift” Fortune
Welcome back my raving fans. Thank you for your continued support of the show. This interview was done about 18 months ago by a moderator at StoryCorps (One Small Step). The One Small Step program was created in an effort to remind the country of the humanity in all of us, even those with whom we disagree. Learn more about their initiative to bridge political divides, one conversation at a time. My guest was Chiereme Fortune a young black Democrat from Bowie Maryland. I am very white, from Utah and at the time may or may not have been a screaming Republican. On the surface, the two of us may have avoided ever getting to know each other but in the end we realized we had much more in common than we didn’t. I apologize up front as part way through the conversation she kept getting cut off so had to do the second half of the interview via cell phone. Our moderator was Lea Zikmund, whom I have had as a guest on my show since then about a recent book she published. Chieremie will be coming back on the show in the next month or so with an update on her life and the cool things she has been doing so stay tuned. Please enjoy the show and maybe think about someone who you have disagreed with in the past or currently that may be creating a divide and see how you can bridge that gap by simply being interested in their story and learning from them with no agenda other than love. #OneSmallStep #StoryCorp #NPR #TalkToEachOther #SeeTheHumanity #BridgeTheDivide #UnitedWeStand #DividedWeFall #LoveThyNeighbor #LoveYourNeighbor #WhoIsYourNeighbor #DoUntoOthers #GoldenRule #ForCryingOutLoud #LeaZikmund #ChieremeFortune

In fact, one of the bodies he fixed was mine after a mountain biking accident. And the $64,000 question. Why would he leave what some would call the pinnacle of his career with the NFL to practice his craft in the sleepy little Utah town. #CincinnatiBengals #NFL #SuperAthletes #StressToProgress #BrokenBodies #CVMC #NephiUtah #FamilyMatters #Bengals #FamilyFirst #UtahLake #PowerTools #CuttingEdgeSurgery #GroundBreaking #MedicalInnovation #Healing #BetweenBones

Ep 44Episode 125: Lea Zikmund | Author of For Crying Out Loud, Connecting Through Grief and Loss in a Digital Era
When you use social media, what do you look for? Happiness, relatability, or something else? Author, Lea Zikmund takes a deep dive into this exploration. In the midst of her dad’s illness and becoming a young caretaker, Lea Zikmund began looking to social media to find community. In the process, she began to notice a dynamic in our culture that tends to criticize those who share publicly about moments of grief, loss and hardship. She also noticed there are still many people who want to use social media as a space to connect on these exact topics. This book takes a close look at the intersection of grief, loss, and the everyday Americans’ social media use. Through interviews with friends and acquaintances, Lea attempts to understand how their moments of sharing helped them, if at all. Are there aspects of social media that can be more helpful to us in difficult moments than what we experience in person together?

Episode 113: Author of The Sultan’s Seven Secrets, Jeff Beuhner | Speak the Language of the Gods to write your own fairytale reality.
My next guest was a struggling, worn-out concrete contractor who worked from sunup til sun down every day to barely make ends meet. One grueling day a client he was working for gave him a miraculous gift which changed his fate and fortune almost immediately! The gift was a manuscript of the writings of Sultan Musa of Mali, the richest man to ever walk the earth! The Sultan embedded the secrets of his success in a fairytale so compelling that centuries later almost everyone on earth is familiar with it. But, the manuscript did not just contain the fairytale. It also contained a detailed de-coder for the fairy tale and a complete tutorial on speaking something called, "the Language of the Gods." When you speak this language, the world obeys your commands! By speaking this language, my guest went from being a $60,000 a year concrete contractor to making hundreds of thousands a month in a new business that just fell into his lap, and to become happier in all aspects of life.

My guest today is Tony Acosta, a new friend, fellow realtor, and podcaster here in the Salt Lake area. But the real reason he is on the show today, he’s also an amature boxer.

I get it that sports are risky and injuries can happen but this one it’s almost a guaranteed outcome. Tony sets the record straight and changes my mind and also shares how boxing helps his real estate and podcasting career. Lace up your gloves and get into the ring. Ding Ding.
