Jennie & Eric Hultquist – The Trip of a Lifetime

We originally met Jennie and Eric on a volunteer project through A Year to Volunteer back in February of 2022 at Sam Houston Jones State Park in Lake Charles, Louisiana. 

Who would have guessed when we met them, that we’d be traveling with them throughout Canada and Alaska a few years later?  But low and behold, Jennie and Eric were the fearless leaders of our Alaskan Gang this summer.  We traveled over 7,000 miles with them from the end of May through the beginning of August and had a fantastic time.  It was the trip of a lifetime, even though we hope to return to America’s Last Frontier at some point in the future, this trip has given all of us memories that will last a lifetime.

Marcus Higgs – Communication is Crucial

Marcus is a communication coach for parents of preteens (ages 10-14). He helps them show up and maintain a meaningful relationship with their child through communication during these crucial formative years.

The clients he works with know the value of doing hard things and want to connect with their tween before it’s too late to bridge the gap.

With a multicultural background himself—born to a Filipino mother and a Bahamian father—Marcus finds particular joy in supporting families to communicate across generational and cultural divides.

Dan and Sandy – Pennsylvania, Here we Come!

The Archway is a unique museum that literally extends over Interstate 80 to pay homage to all those who have traveled across its path throughout history.
Since ancient times, the route along the Platte River in Nebraska, once called the Great Platte River Road, has served as a migratory pathway across the continent. From the era of the Oregon Trail to the present day, the Archway brings the history of the Great Platte River Road to life.
Central to the Archway experience is its historical exhibit, which honors the American spirit of exploration. Utilizing life-sized figures and personal audio guides, the Archway recounts the tale of America’s development. Visitors can walk alongside pioneers on the Oregon Trail, observe a Pony Express Station horse exchange, listen to Mark Twain’s story of a cross-country stagecoach journey, witness the driving of the “Golden Spike” connecting the nation’s railways, and learn about life on the Lincoln Highway at a traveler’s campground.
Located at Exit 275 on I-80, a key coast-to-coast travel route today, the Archway commemorates the journeys of all adventurers who have traveled the river’s route – from those who contributed to our nation’s development in the past to those who are shaping our future today.

Dan and Sandy – Back to the Lower-48

We talk about our incredible experience in Haines, Alaska when we saw the Northern Lights.  Our trip from Haines to Skagway on the Ferry.  We experienced the Yukon Suspension Bridge and the Carcross Desert as we made our way down to Vancouver before crossing back into the United States.

Once we got into Washington, we still had a few more adventures with Alex and Cooper before they split off to make their way back to Pennsylvania.  We explored both Olympic and Mount Rainier National Parks before splitting off on separate routes back east.

Jon Sexton – From the Courts to the Screen with a few stops in Between

Jon and I talk about his entrepreneurial journey.  It started on the tennis and basketball courts and other athletic venues of Visalia, California and has now landed him as the host of the TV show, Selling Nashville.  Jon’s journey, like so many other entrepreneurs took a few twists and turns along the way.  He originally relocated to Nashville to pursue a career in music.  In order to not fall into the “starving artist” category, he used some of the leadership skills and life lessons that he learned from sports to get into the health club and gym industry.  What initially started as a way to simply help make ends meet while he pursued his music career, eventually turned into another passion and eventually ownership of his own health club and gym business.  While running his business, he started investing in real estate, which eventually led to him securing his real estate license and heading up his own team of agents.

Dan Clouser – Soul Family – A Monologue

As I’m sure you know by now, from my recent emails and social media posts, I’m honored to be an associate producer on a project by my friend and a member of our soul family, Aliza Hava.  I’ve had Aliza on my podcast twice, and we just immediately connected.  We became part of each other’s soul family instantly.  Her and her husband, Avi drove over two hours to meet Sandy and I for dinner after one of my book signings in Brookings, Oregon.  Like Aliza, we connected immediately with Avi as well.  There are just some people in the world who you know are part of your tribe the minute you meet them.  It seems like you’ve known them for years.

Dan Clouser – Making Adjustments – A Monologue

When I was coaching baseball, one of the things that I stressed to my players all of the time is that it was a game of adjustments.  You always want to have a plan, but you also need to be able to make an adjustment to that plan if need be.

The game of baseball is a reflection of life, and the lessons tat the game can teach will often carry over into life as well.
