    I head out to McHenry to talk with Doug from Big Kid Powersports. If you have had the chance to talk with Doug you will know that he is a big kid. Doug is the kind of guy when you first meet him you feel like you've known him forever. Doug is a fun conversation and apparently a big social media guy but you would never guess it. I enjoyed talking with him and hope to run into him again soon.

    I got an email months ago from a local author who asked me if I had any interest in talk to her about her book. Of course I said yes because this podcast is all about supporting the community. While we focus on businesses I thought this would be fun to do. We had a great conversation about the book and her life leading up to writing. The conversation went on for longer than you hear on the episode because we just had a fun conversation. One of the best parts about this podcast is meeting new people. I get a chance to hear their stories and I really hope you love hearing how people have put together their story. D.M.

    In this episode I got to talk to long time employee Patrick. When I spoke to Dan, the owner, he said Patrick had the most knowledge of the store's history since it had changed ownership a couple times. The store goes out of it's way to make sure that they give the best care to the pets they sell. They also do a great job of informing their customers how to take care of the animals.
