What if you could finish your father's bucket list with Laura Carney

What if you could finish your father's bucket list with Laura Carney

Laura Carney

This is an extraordinary episode of the Making Waves Podcast with Tom Prather. It’s not about the usual growing brands or businesses, stories of making platinum records, or what it takes to win championships. It’s a conversation about how one woman is making waves in her life and honoring her father at the same time. You see, when Laura Carney was 25 years old, her father was killed by a driver who ran a red light while talking on the phone. Thirteen years later, Laura’s brother discovered a list their dad wrote when he was 29 entitled: “Things I would Like to Do in My Life.” They found his bucket list. Laura knew from that moment what she had to do… She had to finish her father’s list.

Laura’s story moved me so much that I had to get her on the show and learn more about her incredible story. It’s a conversation about redemption, adventure, hope, and love!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

The history of Van Halen with Greg Renoff

The history of Van Halen with Greg Renoff

Season 4 of Making Waves kicks off with the quintessential discussion on the mighty Van Halen with Van Halen Rising author, Greg Renoff. In this episode, Greg talks with host Tom Prather about Eddie Van Halen and his impact on the world of music and the guitar. The line in the sand is drawn as they discuss the legendary battle of lead singers in Van Halen and did it really led to a change in the band's sound. Also why fans are split on Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth, what really attributed to Michael Anthony's fall from grace in the Van Halen camp, and his experience at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California.

Greg Renoff is a historian and the author of “Van Halen Rising: How a Southern California Backyard Party Band Saved Heavy Metal” and “Ted Templeman: A Platinum Producer's Life in Music,” the authorized autobiography of the Grammy-winning record producer.
