#015 Jesse Skidmore



Jesse and his family lost their house, business, and more in the Camp Fire in Paradise, CA.  He talked about what it was like to lose everything, how they found Grants Pass, dirt track racing, and how they’re doing now.


#014 My 3 year old son Preston



My 3 year old son Preston hopped up in the chair and put the headphones on so I hit record.  I didn’t edit this at all.  We go inside the mind of a 3 year old.  And there is a hint about an upcoming guest.


#013 My Grandpa Andy Owens Sr.



He worked in the woods, had half of his foot cut off in a mill accident, helped build part of Interstate 5, lost his son in a tragic accident, built a successful trucking company from the ground up, and much much more!


#012 Venessa D’Arpino



She was superstar track athlete at North Valley High School before accepting a full ride scholarship from Oregon State.  Find out why she ended up at the University of Oregon and how that led to bobsledding.  Could a trip to the Olympics be in her future?


#009 Joe Tate



Before he let a future country music star sleep on his couch he worked in the woods, sang in a band, worked for a legend in the car business, and now runs Medford BMW.  And he’s a small town Oregon boy like myself!


#008 My Grandma Marian Owens



This was a special podcast.  My grandma and I discussed what it was like to lose a child, volunteering on the Glendale Ambulance for over 40 years, and how she is partly responsible for something that could save your life.


#006 Steve Porter Sis-Q Communications



Steve played a very important role in bringing two way communication to Southern Oregon.  He has operated numerous tower sites on mountain peaks throughout Southern Oregon for over 30 years.  His story of growing up in the Bay Area is very cool!
