On this weeks episode I sat down and talked with Dakota Rodriguez. Dakota is a member of the United States Space Force, a father, a husband, and honestly all around cool guy. We talked about his journey into the military, his first year of marriage being spent in a foreign country and a little about his outlook on parenting. Dakota shares about events in his life that helped shape who he is today. He doesn’t view these events as “struggles or hardships” but just simply as the pieces to the puzzle that life had given him. He is someone who likes to look forward and not dwell on the past but simply thank it for the lessons it provided. So, as always I hope this episode inspires you to do it scared, enjoy!

On today's episode I sat down and talked with Johnna Gray. Johnna and I actually went to high school together and have stayed connected over the years through a mutual friend. That being said, I had a lot of fun sitting down and getting to know more about the adult Johnna has become. We talk about her college experience, her work experience, her love of Disney and how through trial and error she has found a career in real estate that she really loves. One of the big things Johnna and I connected on during this interview is our recent complication of running a half marathon. Something neither of us had ever done before. It was really a special moment to talk about what this accomplishment meant to both of us! We both truly hope that our openness about doing something new and unknown inspires you to do it scared, enjoy!

On today’s episode I sat down and talked with Austin Lindhorst. Austin and I first crossed paths as students at Appalachian State University, where we were both studying recreation management. We quickly became friends based on our mutual love for the outdoors, our want to connect with people, and our desire to simply enjoy life as it comes our way. This is something Austin really capitalized on after college. He is someone who has learned to just take whatever life throws at him and run with it. From living at the beach working seasonal jobs, to being a camp camp counselor via zoom during the pandemic and then moving out west to work for the national parks service, Austin has done it all! All while simply following what calls to him and making the best of it. One of my favorite parts about talking with Austin is his openness to talking about the success of his journey but also the hardships and struggles. He recognizes that life comes at you in waves and he's willing to ride them out with a smile on his face. So, as always I hope this episode inspires you to do it scared, enjoy!
