The "Son of a Blitch" Podcast
For those that know me and the variety of projects I've been a part of over my life, it is no surprise that I've had the opportunity to meet some incredibly interesting people along the way. I always enjoyed hearing about people's stories and perspectives, and even made a living recording those stories for a while. In my early twenties, I was the media manager and part owner of a company, and it was my role to travel around and interview Indigenous Elders, and people working within these communities. Most of the time, I was traveling with my good friend and mentor, Harvey Arden (former National Geographic writer and best selling author). I was in charge of all the video and audio production, as well as running many interviews, myself.
As I launched this podcast, it reminded me of those times, and the incredible people I met along the way. I decided, with this podcast, to expand my guest panels to include folks that I have met from all areas of my life. I have interviewed business owners, leaders in the Outdoor Industry, James Beard Award-Winning Chefs, internationally acclaimed musicians, authors, speakers, professional athletes, actors, Veterans, TV show hosts, Federal Judges, inventors, survival and bushcraft instructors, other podcasters, good friends, and more.
Soon, I'll be beginning a "Storytellers" segment of the podcast. I've got some very interesting encounters to tell you about...meeting three different Presidents, participating in sweatlodge ceremonies (Inipi) with the founders of the American Indian Movement, being invited on stage (multiple times) with Michael Franti and Spearhead, being gifted the guitar pick, directly from Kurt Cobain, that he used to play his entire last show ever in Texas (and getting some fun backstage Nirvana paraphernalia from Dave Grohl, as well), challenging Nolan Ryan to a racquetball showdown, hanging out with Chris Cornell (Soundgarden, AudioSlave), Maynard James Kennan (Tool Perfect Circle, Puscifer), Weird Al Yankovic, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Lisa Bonet, performing in 22 states with my band, and so much more.
