My guest this week is Stacey Magovern, in Fort Worth, Texas and she is telling me and you all about her company that she co-founded in 2014 with her husband called Point Blank Safety Services which is designed to help active police officers all over the state of Texas find paid-duty traffic control work outside of their regular shifts around the cities and towns that have construction contracts that need reliable safety officers to keep the workers and the public safe, which also provides a more stable and robust quality of life for officers and their families. It's a great endeavor and with great results, this is Stacey's story. Also find out what "the Last Supper" truly meant to her as a child! Thanks Stacey for all you and your family are doing

Sam Harman is the bassist of the band Void Vator, formed in 2014, and Sam is considered the "new guy" as the most recent member to join the band. Sam is telling me all about the band, the members, how the name was chosen, what they have been doing and a sneak peek at what they have coming in 2020. Look for big things from this band to come, and it was my pleasure to chat with Sam

I interviewed guitarist and songwriter Byron Nemeth of the Byron Nemeth Band about his career thus far: his beginnings in Ecuador, moving to the United States and forming his first band Sacred Heart. Thanks Byron for doing this, and thanks to Dori Evans for making this happen! The road to Winter NAMM 2020 continues!

This week I have Part 1 of 2 of my sit down with old work friend Chris Flynn, a man I knew over a 4 year period about 6 or 7 years ago, but of course in that environment you really only get to know a portion of who that person really is. So I welcomed this chance to sit down with him and have a nice long conversation about his life long before and long after I knew him, what brought him to our old place of work, what the tipping point to leave it was and where he headed on after that. In part 1 we hear about him growing up in Goose Bay, relocating to Ottawa, and getting into the Security field where we would cross paths in the infamous building of hard lessons...the Ottawa Hospital (TOH).
Chris loves to cook and share his meal creations, check him out on Instagram: @flynnies_foodies

This week I am chatting with actor Patrick Harney, raised in Michigan, and we chat about him getting the acting bug when he was convinced by his peers to take part in the school musical while he was still interested in sports (no relation to the plot theme of High School Musical!) and from there moved into college theatre and on to bigger and prosperous things. We chat all about that and of course, what his earliest childhood memory is growing up in the small town of Haslett.
