The Sherpa Screening Room: Meet Stephen Pitalo!
This one was a treat to do, Rebels. Stephen is not only a music video expert, he's also an author, musician, and too many things that I can think of! His website is a fascinating way to spend some time, especially, if you're…

Kim Hawkinson gets The Sherpa on a leash! (It's dog training time...)
So, this one's for all you "dog people" out there. I never got to see Kim's dog through the whole interview, but I'm sure she was aware we were recording a podcast. Or maybe I'm just not as interesting as a box of Snausages.…

Questions about Emergency Workers? The guys from "The Washdown Podcast" Respond to the call!
Heroes. Doesn't that word fill your head with images? You might be thinking of a superhero. But who is thinking of our everyday heroes? I could list them all, but undoubtedly would forget to include someone, so let's just sa…

The Election's Over, but Vote for Middagh Goodwin, Anyway!
Before we started our interview, my first words to Middagh were, "Okay, I'm jealous." To which he responded, "Of what?" Well, I won't name names, but he was in a picture standing next to an 80's rocker I've been trying to ge…

Amazing Women, Incredible Stories (Day 5): Meet Stacey Toy!
Haha! I like how Stacey said that I gave her "the best introduction ever." But she's so worthy of a great intro. She's lead an interesting life with her own collection of lows and highs in her life. How many people get out …

The Sherpa Screening Room: Two Phone Calls! Opera! Farming! This Number is NOT in Service!
Doing an episode about opera and living off the land is kind of like an episode on Mother Theresa and Carrot Top. Completely different, but, still, so much to learn. So why not do an interesting mix? Thank you to Rosario an…

"Organize For Success" for 2020, with our guest, Kathy McEwan!
Happy New Year, Rebels! Are you ready to get organized? That may seem like a big step for some, but Kathy's podcast makes it an easy, small step for everyone. ("That's one small step for people, one giant leap for organizati…

Robert Bear, creator of "Invention Stories" makes a "patented" appearance at the Sherpa Chalet!
My interview this week comes back to the States. My talk with Robert Bear was very interesting and educational. I found it particularly amazing that a self professed failed inventor found his success hosting a top-ranked inv…
