Sam Ogles: The Van Man

A few months ago my friend sent me a reel that said "99% of podcasts don't make it past episode 20." I've rewatched that reel dozens of times and have been driving toward 21 episodes since. As a special celebration for myself, I had my friend, Brayden, be the Van Man for an episode and interview me. I hope you enjoy hearing some of my thoughts and goals. Thank you for helping me reach my goal. <3

Liz Ogles: Dog Breeder

Esplicito
I LOVE dogs and I think I mostly get that from my sister, Liz. She's a life long lover of dogs and dog training and in the last few years she's gone from zero dogs to owning two and working with an incredible breeding company to breed puppies for families all over Utah. This is a fun episode not only because we both love dogs, but because we love being siblings. I hope you enjoy!

Sara Sand: MIT Grad Student

Sara isn't just an "MIT Grad student," she's my longest-lasting friend. In fact, I don't even remember when we met but I think it was in 8th grade. I'm lucky to have a friend to link me to a past life in Athens, Ohio and I hope you enjoy listening to our conversation. I think there's something special about talking to close friends about happiness and I hope you're able to hear Sara's kindness and wisdom through this episode.

Mark Lindsey: Pianist

It's hard to have hobbies as an adult, especially ones that require time to practice. I've always admired Mark because he finds a way to play the piano even when there hasn't been one close by. He's an exceptional person and uniquely talented at many things, but the piano is one that he has shared with many people throughout his life. Hopefully, you're able to take away some helpful tips on how to make time for your hobbies. I hope you enjoy the episode.

Isaiah Shields: Professional Walker

Isaiah did something that I think at one point or another, we've all thought about doing. He quit his job, put all of his stuff in storage, and started walking. He has been walking for well over 400 days straight and recently crossed the 7,500-mile mark on his journey. I greatly appreciate what Isaiah shared with me in our conversation and I hope you enjoy the episode.
