Episode 127 with my guest Dwayne Moorehead: Different Backgrounds, Same Host Country. How We See It

I think it is interesting how Dwayne and I have similar life experiences while we also have very different backgrounds. He is from New York City and I am from small-town Ohio. He is former U.S. Army and I am a U.S. Marine (See what I did there?). Dwayne and I see eye to eye on a lot, and that is reflected in this enjoyable conversation, which is at times funny and times serious. Settle in, and have a listen.

Episode 126 with my guest Mario Vitalis: Successful Urban Farming in the Face of Adversity

Is it possible to be a successful farmer in an urban environment, (in this case Indianapolis, Indiana)? You bet it is! Mario Vitalis is living proof of that. I truly enjoyed this conversation in which Mario tells the story of his family's rise from their struggles as sharecroppers in the Jim Crow South, and forward in time to when his grandfather inspired him to not give up on his dream of becoming an urban farmer. Mario's story of his requirement to go "above and beyond" what should have been necessary in order to get financing from the USDA Farm Services Agency will inspire anyone who knows what it is like to dream and put in the work that one must do in order to live that dream and be successful.
Check out what Mario is doing with his farming business "New Age Provisions" at the link below.

Episode 124: Solo Saturday with a Sip of Snoopy

Snoopy and I talk about Norway's World War Two history. She also tells a couple interesting stories of her father and grandfather and their activity during the Nazi occupation of the Finnmark and Nordland regions of Norway.
Of course, it wouldn't be a Sip of Snoopy episode without the foolishness and flirting peppered throughout the conversation. It's been a long week, so I enjoyed this. I hope you do as well!
NOTICE TO THOSE WHO WATCH ON MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL: I want to apologize for the video quality on this episode. I tried to fix it, and I failed horribly. I don't know what happened, but it was probably corrupted by Snoopy's bad attitude.
