Hello to our wonderful Listen Local Listeners! On today's show we catch up with the man who has been to the ends of the earth and back, with stories that could match the "most interesting man in the world," Mr. Ben Nestrud. Backstories truly are the best, which make the guest segments so fun each time we have a new person on. In Ben's case we talk about all of the different lives he's lived - for lack of better term - and what led him to the Brainerd Lakes Area to settle down and start Ben's Marine and Motorsports. Plus, hear how he "rescued" the Listen Local Mobile Studio a few weeks back, and has since become the official "mobile repair guy" of the Listen Local Podcast! Thanks so much to Ben for coming in and telling his story which includes everything from his life in Okinawa, Japan with the Marines to testing the waters of MMA to landing right here in the BLA (with many stops along the way) and why he feels he found his "home" right here in Breezy Point, MN. After the guest segment, Ben sticks around to chat with the crew for their Local Happenings segment which include talk about Crosby's (and Minnesota's) new scoring champ, this weekend's Antique Snowmobile Rendezvous, a Chick-Fil-A update, and a big Fleet Farm announcement. Tune in for it all!
