#037 Ericka and Mattaniah Corban



They recently sold their dream home in Washington state.  Why?  So they could buy an R.V. and travel across the country with their five children.  It’s not the vacation you’d expect.  Ericka was on season 12 of The Voice and has also written two children’s books.  Mattaniah is also a musician who worked in real estate.  Find out where their adventure has already taken them and why they decided to do it.


#036 Jessie G



Jessie is a country music recording artist who signed with Gretchen Wilson’s Redneck Records.  She grew up in Brookings, OR.  Jessie’s heritage spans across four generations of commercial fishermen, and she spent much of her childhood aboard the hand-built family boat; searching for Dungeness crab and albacore tuna, and then selling their catch at the market and in their family restaurant.  We recorded this podcast at their family restaurant The Catalyst.  We covered a lot of topics!


#035 DJ Gemineye



He’s the morning show host and Program Director for 107.5 KISS-FM in Medford, OR.  He’s also the official D.J. for the Oregon Ducks (Football, Basketball, and Track) and an all around great guy!  Meet my friend Gemineye.


#034 Grants Pass Active Club with J.J. DeForest, Gerrin Beck, and Jason Wilkins



I wanted to talk to these guys about what it was like to have the biggest event of the year in Grants Pass not happen due to Covid-19 and what that means for the community.  We also talked about the current state of our country, what it’s like for J.J. right now being a teacher, riots, a little politics, and more.


#033 Kim Nichols



This is one of my favorite podcasts yet.  I reached out to my sister who is a hair stylist and has been out of work because of the Corona virus.  She also started nursing school recently.  We talked about her current situation that includes all of that plus juggling 5 kids in a blended family, what it was like to lose her boyfriend in a car accident, and much more.


#032 Daleen Thomas



Daleen was one of the first (if not the first) females to coach boys basketball in Oregon.  She also played college basketball at Umpqua Community College while pregnant.  She’s an awesome mom, grandma, and one of my favorite people!  Take a listen as we discuss many different topics.


#031 Troy Kelly-Carolena Campbell-Jake Musser



I wanted to see how some of our teachers and administrators around the Rogue Valley are doing.  I talked with Mr. Kelly (3rd grade Mae Richardson Central Point), Mrs. Campbell (Health Occupations Phoenix H.S.), and Mr. Musser (Principal Allen Dale Elementary Grants Pass).  They all have a unique perspective of the current situation with the Corona virus.


#030 Stacy Pederson



Stacy Pederson is an innovator. After failing in every conceivable way (her words) Stacy chose to reinvent herself. She is now a sought-after Keynote Motivational Speaker who gives audiences fun—yet practical actions on how to overcome stress, handle change, be more resilient, and live a life that matters.  She has also knocked on deaths door and lived to talk about it.


#029 Brad Converse



Brad has helped organize over 100 experts that are currently working on a dozen different solutions for hospital supply chains, ranging from PPE to ventilator manifolds, sanitation to safe grocery store practices. This is a grass roots effort that includes many experts and manufacturers in Southern Oregon and far beyond. It’s called Covid Skunkworks!  The goal is to create technical documentation that can be easily understood and implemented around the entire world in garages and manufacturing facilities that would not typically be used for this type of equipment.
