When the Mic Turns Around What happens when interviewer becomes interviewee?   In this special role-reversal episode of The Main Thing, longtime friend Chip VanAlsburg steps in as host to turn the microphone on Skip Lineberg. Together, they explore the origin story behind the podcast, the deeper spiritual motivation driving it, and what it really takes to distill knowledge into wisdom that helps people get better at life. Pulling Back the Curtain on The Main Thing From childhood conversations with elders to the "Holy Spirit moment" that birthed the show. And from the unseen, labor-intensive work behind each 25-minute episode… Skip pulls back the curtain, as Chip presents his own brand of insightful, soul-piercing questions. On Light, Leadership, and the Long Game The duo also dives into: Why growth isn't for everyone (and why that's okay) What it means to live effulgently—radiating light and love Reframing "empty nest" into "spacious nest" The butterfly effect of sharing wisdom And how knowledge becomes wisdom only when it's lived and shared Last but not least, Chip shares his own emerging vision—an honest, heartfelt look at trauma, healing, storytelling, and what he calls "big medicine." If you've ever wondered why this podcast exists—or what wisdom is really for—this conversation will meet you right where you are. Press play. Reflect deeply. Share generously. A Bit More About Our Wise Guest-Host Chip VanAlsburg is a big thinker with a restless mind and a wide-open heart. He challenges assumptions, pushes boundaries, and rarely accepts "no" as the final answer—especially when curiosity or conviction is involved. Bold and unafraid, Chip has spent more than two decades leading in the media, technology, and telecommunications worlds, holding roles such as General Manager, Vice President, and most recently Director at Lumen Technologies in Pittsburgh. But titles only tell part of the story. Chip is a glutton for experiences, with a voracious appetite for life and learning. He's an avid user of emojis, deeply fond of laughter, and unashamed of tears when the moment calls for them. His ego is squarely in check, even as his irises stay cranked wide open in a lifelong quest for peace, perspective, and enlightenment. What makes Chip compelling isn't just what he's accomplished—it's how he shows up: courageous, curious, emotionally honest, and fully engaged with the world around him. He brings that same energy and depth to conversation, making him the kind of guest who doesn't just share insights—he invites reflection. Now, buckle up and get ready to join the duo in exploring the concept of living a good life by pursuing purpose with humility, resilience and faith. This episode was recorded in-person, face-to-face inside Parkwood Studios in Almost Heaven, West Virginia.

Location check: Beth is currently recording from a frozen fortress, channeling her inner Elsa. Vanessa is in Germany with exactly one hour of free time before she has to do a literal mic drop and bolt out of the studio. You know the vibes. We've got news. Like, actual big news that involves the very top of the Walt Disney Company and a certain parks guy moving into the big corner office. We have thoughts. Optimistic thoughts, even. Also, Disneyland Paris just won something shiny. Like, an actual industry award for one of their nighttime offerings. We're choosing to take this as validation of everything we've ever said. There are parade updates with some surprise character appearances that made us both gasp and a new flower shop that has no flowers for sale. Riddle us that ! Oh, and annual pass prices went up. Like, significantly up. We're talking about what changed, who's affected, and why the Disney internet is currently on fire about it. Vanessa just survived a week at Disneyland Paris with her husband and their tiny terror—sorry, very energetic toddler—Lizzie. And by "survived," we mean she's here to tell us: How Lizzie became the unofficial announcer at the train station, loudly informing everyone that they needed to vacate immediately so SHE could board. The passengers listened. The child has power. Why their hotel room featured housekeeping leaving behind some...smelly items that definitely did NOT belong in a hotel room, and a bathtub crack so severe it looked like it was themed for Phantom Manor rather than Newport Bay Club. How getting your toddler to eat a hotel breakfast BEFORE taking them to a park breakfast is the key to character meal success. And the exact second she understood that taking a toddler to Disney is less "magical family holiday" and more "hostage situation with Mickey waffles." Just kidding. She had a great time and is full of tips to make your own DLP trip with a tot picture-perfect ! Plus, we've got a special moment at the end celebrating a brand new baby girl who just joined the D2DLP family. Beth gets emotional. It's very sweet.
