On today's episode fitting to a primary election day in Florida we have our interview with candidate Sam Nashagh, but don't worry this is not a political episode but instead one of dreams coming true.  Sam talks to us about growing up with very little but supported by a mom who taught him you can be whatever you want to be when you grow, and taking it to heart. Listen along as he shares his story and inspires us all to do what what we believe in, even if someone tells us, it's not worth it!

*Friendly reminder this not an endorsement for any candidate or party simply an interview*

Today Jerome and Brian discuss who we believe should be in charge of protecting our environment and the little things we have tried at home to do our part. *Warning* there are some things we may discuss in regards to laws or how they work, that may not be 100% accurate, be reminded that we are just two average joes sharing our thoughts and opinions based on our own basic knowledge 

Kostner joins us Brian and Jerome this week to discuss his work as an environmentalist, and shares the way we can all help our environment. From making sure our A/C's are not set too low to sharing knowledge with those around us, there is always something we can all do to to keep our environment safe and beautiful for the next generation. Hint don't just talk about it on Twitter.

On this episode Brian recaps his experience on the National Treasure Hunt tour; then together with Jerome they discuss their thoughts on what classifies something as a "national treasure" as well as they're thoughts about the people they have met so far on their own podcasting journey

You will hear them both share their progress on their upcoming book, how their idea came about for the summer (maybe twice a year) tour came about, and some updates and opinions on the upcoming National Treasure series and movie.

After hearing two best friends share their experiences last week, this week Brian and Jerome discuss the meaning of friendship, share a few personal stories, and provide some unsolicited, non-professional, advice on how to make friends and keep them around!

Friendships come and go, some are surface level and some are deep and meaningful, question is how do you keep those friends that matter around for the long haul. Join us this week as we talk to long time friends Abigail and Suzannah as they discuss how their friendship has evolved and overcome the tests of time and distance for the past 12 years. Hope you enjoy!

This week we interview Jerry Deluca the executive producer of Motorcycle Wars. He shares with us his story in which he describes the journey of taking a hobby and turning it into a passion project in which by pouring his blood, sweat, and tears, has come to learn so much about the power of storytelling and working with the right people to achieve goals and bring down barriers

This week you get to hear from yours truly! Jerome and Brian discuss what we learned last episode with Michaell, share our ideas on Art being a human super power, our ideas of what it means to have a voice and define it, and more! We hope you enjoy!

As kids, and sometimes adults, we all hope to have superpowers; flying, super-strength, invisibility. Turns out the human superpower has been all around us this whole time, Art. Whether you are an artist or not you have to check out what our guest, multi-media artist Michaell has to say about it, and then infect the rest of the world with this idea!
