Colleen Lang grew up in a small town but worked hard, studied hard and got to the big city, The Twin Cities. She rose through positions and transitions to ever increasing responsibility. But she is ever her mother's daughter, a faithful Catholic, a faithful friend and an open hearted woman. She talks about her life in work. She shoots straight about the world today, particularly after the deadly Capitol riots. And she discusses the Catholic Church and her engagement with it. She is funny, smart and great to listen to. Enjoy!

Rick talks cheese: how it's made, where it comes from, how we classify cheeses and a sprinkling of history. While Rick Regan is not a professional in the cheese world, he's been around enough to know his way around a wheel. Just at twenty minutes. It's a good listen, if you like Rick.

Ray Kraiss was born female but growing up she just felt different, masculine. She has wrestled with whether to 'transition' into a male body with medical intervention but has backed away from that for now, saying that she/he just wants to be herself. Listen to her explain what it means to live her experience. She/he is funny, ironic and a genuinely nice person.  And she/he explains why I should use 'they' instead of she/he. It's a good listen, just over an hour. Thanks for tuning in.

This is the bonus material from my interview with Leo Fair. Here he talks about growing up in Iowa, moving away to go to school, getting drafted into the War in Viet Nam and many other parts of his life.

Leo has lived a full life with a wife of fifty years and eleven grandchildren. Vietnam vet and veteran of the telecommunication turbulence of the 1980s through the 2000s. He keeps a sharp eye on the world and he is dealing straight. 

Just a quick thank you to the subscribers and wishing everyone a happy new year, 2021 Here we come!

Creighton has spent his career in sales, finance and philanthropy. Here he talks about his decades of experience and insights. His best insight was from a friend, "do what you are good at and delegate the rest." He pivoted his investment business, giving up the President title, and he says his income doubled and his blood pressure cut in half. But his real loves are the women in his life, his wife, his daughter and his mother. He's an interesting guy.

Ethan Kraiss describes starting to use drugs at 14. By 18 he was in a coma in a hospital. Now, four years later he is clean, sober and a gym rat. Ethan talks about getting into and out of the "unhealthy lifestyle". Come along for the ride, things are looking up now...
