    2025 Holiday Episode
    Dec 15 2025
    This mini-episode gets into the spirt of the season by begging the question: You wanna take it out back? We set up on the back porch of our ad agency and content studio to sit with a fresh batch of interesting strangers on the street. We're talking holiday memories, gifts, foiled plans and more. From scandolous holiday cake making to shedding unexpected light on the opioid crisis, this one will give you the giggles and might even make you cry a little. See this episode and more on YouTube.

    Don't you love when you meet someone for the first time and you skip the small talk and get right to it? After the pleasantries, Kevin starts by sharing some of his ultra-relatable insecurities and how he's coping with them. He talks about how, in his work as a designer in the entertainment space, he's shed preconcieved notions about people—namely Larry the Cable Guy. We also discuss the universal appeal of Garth Brooks and how Big & Rich's "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy) is an undeniably tasty bop. See this episode and more on YouTube.

    Scott Hamilton - Part 2: Giving Back, Meeting Challenges & That Backflip
    Nov 21 2025
    In Scott's second episode, he shares how he is constantly looking for new ways to engage communities for fundraising. He graciously answers a couple questions from your host-and-producer's daughter about stage fright and song choice. (The song was "Walk this Way" by Aerosmith. This is becoming a Steven Tyler-heavy podcast lately.) Scott also shares his thoughts on the future of the sport of ice skating, including the dichotomy between the professional and amatuer sides of the sport. At the end, he answers how he continues to approach the question: Why not? And how he's working on not being so hard on himself. Learn how you can give to support cancer research at Scottcares.org.
