Episode 10: Evan McMullin - Presidential Candidate & Former CIA Operative 0

Oct 20, 2016

The unknown option in the 2016 Presidential Election. Evan McMullin just recently entered the race. Evan, former CIA operative, decided to run for president late in the game in order to stand up for what he believes. He's a 40-year old counter-terrorism expert that has a unique POV to share. Regardless of your political beliefs and mine, it's inspiring to witness someone who asks themselves, "Why Not Now run for President of the United States?" at the 11th hour in order to give voters another option. Is it a long shot that he'll win? Yep. Is it possible though? Yep. And it's quite honorable in my humble, patriotic, opinion.

Episode 8: Kathryn Budig - The OG Yogi Who Keeps It Real 0

Oct 6, 2016

Kathryn Budig is an OG yogi, if ya know what I mean. She was teaching yoga before it was cool and trendy. She's an incredible athlete and her list of accolades goes on and on but what I admire the most about Kathryn is that she's the real deal. She has zero ability to fake anything. She tells it like it is and shares her struggles just as much as her moments of joy. Whether you're a yoga fan or not (I'm personally not a huge yoga enthusiast) you can learn from Kathryn's wisdom.
