What happens when a drummer’s sense of timing becomes the heartbeat of a visual style? Jeff Skomsky paints “rhythm of color on canvas,” and that phrase anchors a story that moves from bedroom sketches to city murals without losing the pulse of daily practice. A cosmic palette, clean linework, and a habit of finishing what he starts turned an outlet into a livelihood—helped by a perfectly timed fortune cookie and a wife who said, “Go for it.”

We trace the arc from his first mural—booked on a cold call—to commissions across Washington County, a feature on TMJ4, and a major Parks & Rec piece for the West Bend library. Jeff opens up about learning the craft the hard way: sanding rough fence boards, getting the water-to-acrylic ratio right, swapping markers for brushes to deepen color, and structuring work so nothing idles while paint dries. He talks candidly about quitting drinking, finding clarity in faith and prayer, and why generosity speeds up momentum: donate the animal graphics, live-paint the festival, teach the kids class, and your art travels further than any one sale.

There’s more. Jeff designed a skateboard deck for a Milwaukee brand and dreams of sponsoring local riders when the new park opens. He and author Krista Young built a children’s book on canvas—A to Z poems that shift from dawn to dusk with a mischievous mantis tucked in the margins—aiming for Barnes & Noble and Amazon distribution. The next concept scales from microbes to the cosmos, a perfect match for his “think big, give bigger” brain.

Then the conversation takes a delicious turn into morel foraging. Jeff breaks down ground temps, tree cues, slope exposure, and tick safety with the same enthusiasm he brings to color theory. The throughline is unmistakable: show up daily, trust the middle, and let your energy attract the next wall, canvas, or kid who needs a nudge.

Ever rebuilt a life by saying yes more often? That’s the energy here as we walk alongside Mari through a CrossFit comeback, a Hyrox sign-up in Vegas, and the quiet rituals that make progress stick—dogs underfoot, coffee flights on weekends, and friends who push you to the next rep. We open on nerves and barking chaos, then settle into an honest, funny look at how community and routine transform confidence.

We talk training that respects seasons: AMRAPs and chippers when the tank is full, trail runs when the woods are calling, and rest when soreness speaks louder than ego. Mari breaks down why coaching and teammates matter, how variety keeps you consistent, and why she ditched the treadmill for outdoor miles. Balance becomes the throughline: push hard, recalibrate, return. No heroics, just systems that work.

Behind the bar at Cheryl’s Club, service is craft and memory is currency. Ten years in hospitality taught us how to acknowledge guests fast, clean while busy, and build bonds with veterans and regulars who soon feel like family. We swap strategies for remembering names, talk money rhythms in tip work, and laugh about nicknames, chili fundraisers, and the kind of regular who knows your favorite dark chocolate. Along the way, Mari shares why she deleted most social apps, picked up more books, and shifted from trendy romance to deep world-building fantasy.

We range from winter blues to snowshoe experiments, from big-trip dreams—Japan, New Zealand, Australia—to the reality of passports and time off. There’s no adrenaline cosplay here: no ice fishing, no skydiving, just deliberate courage and a strong no when it’s not a fit. The deeper theme is friendship—mentorship, honest feedback, and the small acts that make a team. Come for the fitness motivation and bar-life wisdom; stay for the warmth, the laughter, and a nudge to write resolutions you’ll actually keep.

A simple question at a corner table—“Do you know Jesus?”—opened a story that surges with rescue, reconciliation, and unexpected courage. Michelle joins us to share how a TikTok sermon nudged her into a five-hour drive, an altar call that felt like electricity, and the moment a stranger handed her a Bible and said, go be alone with God. What followed wasn’t theory; it was sleep for a restless mind, peace in place of panic, and a slow, steady rebuilding marked by forgiveness and bold love.

We walk through the turning points: praying for B.O.B. (burden, opportunity, boldness) that makes everyday conversations matter; the shift from asking do you know Jesus to the deeper how is your relationship with Jesus; and the practice of a prayer closet—a “war room”—where agitation is surrendered before it spills onto others. Michelle explains how fasting and Scripture reshaped her identity, how a hard phone call to forgive her mother cracked open freedom from addiction, and how God used small seeds over time—like a youth group memory and a prison phone call—to grow a harvest no one could have scheduled.

This conversation is for anyone longing to trade labels for identity, hustle for rest, and fear for obedience. You’ll hear about reconciliation with her kids, a providential prayer-line call within thirty seconds of a desperate plea, and a double rainbow that marked the road home. We share simple next steps—start with Matthew 6 and Ephesians 1–2, ask for B.O.B., keep a Bible within reach, and say yes to the nudges. Stories like this build faith because they make hope concrete: God meets us in cafes, courtrooms, and car rides, and He wastes nothing.
