People in My Neighborhood

You never hear anyone say, “I wanna be a beer rep when I grow up,” despite most beer reps feeling like they were born for the job. My guest, Hannah Graham is one of those people. Listen to how her journalism dreams got drunk in the best possible way.

If you thought you’d never need to hear someone explain the difference between a loan officer, janitor, comedian, and magician, this episode might surprise you. My guest, Danny Whitson, is going to blow your mind.

I alway love talking to people who have managed to intertwine their passions with their careers. Such is the case with Caleb Covington. At least, that’s what they call him at his real job. His alter-ego Rich Kavana makes wrestling gear for top athletes.

Some know him as Kane, others know him as "Ol Glenn, the insurance guy," but everyone knows him as a nice guy. Glenn Jacobs joins me to talk about what life is like as a professional wrestler, insurance provider, and candidate for Knox County Mayor.

My guest this week traveled a long way to be on this show, but not nearly as far as he has come from growing up in rural Ireland. He has overcome racism, poverty, and a life of immigration to do and teach what he loves.

My guest this week has a lot of really cool hobbies and dreams he’s passionate about…and a job he’s not. He is one of the reasons I started this podcast, and a great dude despite what his clientele may think of him.

The legendary Private Falcon joins me this week to spread the gospel of positivity and tool sales. By birth he was known as David Shults, but he really might be the most positive tool salesman you’ve ever met. Certainly one of the most passionate.

Working in a factory isn’t easy. Neither is being my best friend for nearly 20 years. Kyle Lynch can attest to both. We sit down to talk about what it’s like to work in a grueling job, take care of your family, and find time for brewing.

This episode is all about sex, drugs, and deli meat. My guest this week, Bridgette Martin doesn't necessarily fit the stereotype of your neighborhood deli manager, in or out of work. Join us this week as we drink, laugh, and one of us removes our clothes.

In the second part of the episode we get into a twelve of beer after the wine from Part 1 ran out, and, more importantly, what really makes this retail assistant manager tick.

Buckle up kids, this one is a two-parter. Lance Adams loves to talk. In fact, that’s what makes him perfect for retail. While selling video games isn’t the most glamorous job, Lance has an unprecedented passion for it.

At almost every moment of the day Jessica Clowers is surround by animals. She lives, works, and plays with a literal menagerie, and has done so her entire life. It seems only fitting she’d find herself as the curator of animal health at a zoo.

My guest this week, Jon Payne, didn't know anything about motorcycles or photoshop when he became the marketing director for a major motorcycle dealership that represents six different brands.

Alex Minard joins me in the first episode to talk about cutting meat, music, and fatherhood. I mean, we talk about WAY more, but I needed something quick and clever for the short description.

Mitch Wheeler sits down over a couple drinks with people of all walks of life to find out more about the people you may come in contact with everyday.
