On this week's episode I caught up with Sarah Maizel. Sarah and I met while studying recreation management at app state. Flash forward a couple years and Sarah tells me about how her career has taken her beyond the reaction field and into something she never really saw coming. But for Sarah changing career paths isn't the scariest thing she has done in recent years. Admitting to the realization that she had become unhappy in a long term relationship and deciding to end things, she says it is one of the hardest things she had to do. During our conversation Sarah was an open book about what she learned, what she hopes others can learn from her, and how she grew through this time in her life. As always I hope this episodes inspires you to do it scared, enjoy!

On this week's episode I sat down with Kayla Clark. Kayla is a woman who wears a lot of different hats, wife, mom, business owner, business developer, the list goes on and on. During our interview we talk about where her entrepreneurial mindset came from and how she has used it to grow not one, but two businesses. We chat about the struggles and triumphs of building a business from the group up and a little on how she balances it all in her life. Kayla is the definition of someone doing it scared, not because she necessarily does things scared but more so because she understands that things worth having take hard work and time and sometimes its simply about trusting the process. As always I hope this episodes inspires you to do it scared, enjoy!

On this weeks episode I got the chance to reconnect with my friend Tyler Holms. Tyler and I first became friends while attending classes at the same community college. We both wholeheartedly admit that at the time neither of us knew what we wanted to do with the rest of our lives, but looking back at it, its safe to say we both turned out just fine! Tyler has done some incredible things in his life, from working at a summer camp for kids with special needs, moving his whole life to a different state to a city where he knew no one for a new job opportunity, getting married and he just just bought his first home! While chatting about our lives Tyler admits that he doesn’t take as much time as he would like to reflect back on how far he has come, and during this interview we talk about how nice it is when a friend provides that space for you. As always I hope this episodes inspires you to do it scared, enjoy!

On this weeks episode I sat down and talked with Dakota Rodriguez. Dakota is a member of the United States Space Force, a father, a husband, and honestly all around cool guy. We talked about his journey into the military, his first year of marriage being spent in a foreign country and a little about his outlook on parenting. Dakota shares about events in his life that helped shape who he is today. He doesn’t view these events as “struggles or hardships” but just simply as the pieces to the puzzle that life had given him. He is someone who likes to look forward and not dwell on the past but simply thank it for the lessons it provided. So, as always I hope this episode inspires you to do it scared, enjoy!

On today's episode I sat down and talked with Johnna Gray. Johnna and I actually went to high school together and have stayed connected over the years through a mutual friend. That being said, I had a lot of fun sitting down and getting to know more about the adult Johnna has become. We talk about her college experience, her work experience, her love of Disney and how through trial and error she has found a career in real estate that she really loves. One of the big things Johnna and I connected on during this interview is our recent complication of running a half marathon. Something neither of us had ever done before. It was really a special moment to talk about what this accomplishment meant to both of us! We both truly hope that our openness about doing something new and unknown inspires you to do it scared, enjoy!

On today’s episode I sat down and talked with Austin Lindhorst. Austin and I first crossed paths as students at Appalachian State University, where we were both studying recreation management. We quickly became friends based on our mutual love for the outdoors, our want to connect with people, and our desire to simply enjoy life as it comes our way. This is something Austin really capitalized on after college. He is someone who has learned to just take whatever life throws at him and run with it. From living at the beach working seasonal jobs, to being a camp camp counselor via zoom during the pandemic and then moving out west to work for the national parks service, Austin has done it all! All while simply following what calls to him and making the best of it. One of my favorite parts about talking with Austin is his openness to talking about the success of his journey but also the hardships and struggles. He recognizes that life comes at you in waves and he's willing to ride them out with a smile on his face. So, as always I hope this episode inspires you to do it scared, enjoy!

On today's episode I got to sit down and talk with Rachel Beverly. Rachel is someone I would consider a jack of all trades! She has become this way by simply following her various passions throughout her life. Her love of music and entertainment is how she became a singer/songwriter. Her passion for helping people is how she became a personal trainer. And her passion for science and thirst for knowledge is what pushed her to go back to school for nursing. Rachels willingness to break free from the mold of expectations is a boldness I believe everyone should strive to have in their own life. It’s really what this podcast is all about. Being bold and following your own path in the face of hardship and the unknown. So, as always I hope this episode inspires you to do it scared, enjoy!

On today's episode I sat down with one of the coolest guys I know, although I have to admit I might be a little biased considering he is my little brother. My guest for this episode was none other than Marc Harris. Although I walked into this conversion well versed in Marc’s life, I really enjoyed hearing the deeper side of his journey into adulthood. We talked about his nontraditional high school classes, his years after high school where he was just a little lost but kept pushing forward, and then how he eventually ended up in the Space force. I've always known my brother to be a compassionate man, pretty level headed and easy going, and although I still believe all of those things to be true, it was interesting to learn about the man that is more than just my little brother. My brother is not afraid to take the road less traveled, or even take the wrong road honestly, as long as he's moving forward he's happy, and honestly, isn’t that what life is all about?
