When the Timpview High School seminary council in Provo, Utah had the students write their testimonies and mailing addresses in copies of the Book of Mormon, Sean Dixon joined in, not thinking much of it until 1989 when a letter came in the mail from Pakistan addressed to Sean. Somehow, his testimony had made its way all the way to Stephen Anjum, a Pakistani Christian. Sean and Stephen became pen pals for seventeen years before meeting each other for the first time, and over the course of thirty years, Stephen's missionary efforts spread like wildfire. Sean grew up reading the Book of Mormon, and Stephen first read it in Pakistan in 1988.  Alma 37:6

At 37 years old, Travis Shumake may be new to drag racing as a driver, but he's definitely not new to the sport. His late father, Tripp Shumake, was the winner of multiple NHRA titles and his mother, Susie Shumake, is a member of the Arizona Drag Racing Hall of Fame for her contributions to the sport. But it wasn't until recently that Travis decided he wanted to give it a go behind the wheel. And he is doing so in full knowledge that when he hits the pavement at Heartland Motorsports Park in Topeka for the Menards NHRA Nationals, he will become the first openly gay driver on the circuit. It's a milestone he doesn't take lightly and one that he is hoping will spark new conversations among the sport's fans base, which over the years has leaned conservative. But his story isn't the only one that may spark new conversations. [article_sidebar]Shumake's car, a 24-foot, 4,000-horsepower nitromethane-burning, rainbow-colored drag racer, will be sponsored by and feature the branding of Visit Topeka, the city's convention and visitors bureau. As you'll hear from Visit Topeka president Sean Dixon, who joins the conversation, the convention bureau is looking to promote itself as open to all visitors and will be using the sponsorship to promote the upcoming and inaugural Pride Kansas, a statewide pride festival that will be held in Topeka, September 17–24. For Visit Topeka, backing Shumake isn't just a sports sponsorship play. It's a play for new visitors and an effort to promote the city as welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community. In this conversation, we talk drag racing, Shumake's journey to the circuit after being around the sport his whole life and how a convention bureau is looking to change perceptions by going all in on a sports sponsorship deal that it hopes will attract new visitors to the Kanas destination.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  Sustainable living isn't just about the materials and products we choose to use. It's about lifestyle and how we navigate and live life every day. Joining Stephen Jaye on this episode are guests from Simply Tiny Development, Founder/CEO Dr. Sean Dixon and Sustainability Coordinator Megan Blythe. They define sustainability and what inspired their mission and work in helping individuals convert to tiny living. Housing is a big part of creating a sustainable future, and knowing how to discern between short-term versus long-term sustainability is critical. Sean and Megan also share how they inject sustainability not only in their products but also in their culture. Listen in and learn more about how you can start living for the future! --- Listen to the podcast here: Simply Tiny Homes: How Innovative Sustainable Housing Impacts Our Lives With Dr. Sean Dixon And Megan Blythe One of the things that keeps us sequestered and stuck in lifestyles that we don't want is this idea of a one size fits all solution that is supposed to be applied to everyone. I think that this solution, in my view, as the traditional solution of you get your job, you get your paycheck every two weeks and you buy a big house and you fill it with lots of stuff that may or may not be bringing people happiness. I'm not here to rag on any particular lifestyle. My object here is to open people up to more possibilities that there are other options and other ways in which we can orient our lives. One other way is this movement toward tiny homes. My guests here are Dr. Sean Dixon and Megan Blythe from the company Simply Tiny Development. Welcome to the show. Thanks, Stephen. Thanks for having us. Thank you very much. Dr. Dixon you are the one who started this company. Can you tell me a little bit about what prompted you, what inspired you to decide to start developing more tiny homes and also camper vans? It all started in my doctoral studies and looking at the ways of the world and where we're going globally. I finished up my studies in Organization Development and Leadership with a concentration in Change Management. A lot of that was looking at large-scale patterns and where we're going especially in the workforce and burnout. Those types of management paradigms are prevalent under those types of studies. I'm also very passionate about the environment. I live in Colorado, Megan formerly lived in Colorado, she's from North Carolina, with very outdoorsy style people. I looked at some things and said, "How can we make a large-scale impact on what we want to do especially with pressing global paradigms, like climate change and things like that?" I looked at real estate, had a little bit of a background in that and then said, "Here's an opportunity that we can start changing some larger scale things that could have major impacts." Construction is wasteful. Everything we're seeing with the population increases and the way that the housing market is going, the up-and-coming generations are starting to think differently about what is important. One of his major topics is housing. Providing some alternative solutions that can help the planet and saw a large-scale social problem the exact same time was the way I took this angle for the company, Simply Tiny Development. Launched and brought Meg on as a full-time sustainability coordinator. That is the center of the business model and how everything's guided. Her focus is just to look at all things from a very unique perspective and see how we can be more efficient. How can we use less? How can we do more with better materials? How do we sustain ourselves as people and the environment and then our communities? That's a broader way of looking at sustainability. When a lot of people think of sustainability, they tend to think of environmental sustainability but the word has a broader definition. It means anything that a system that you can sustain over time.

Scott Sharrard talks about his Souther Roots Licks & Creative Approaches guitar lessons available on TrueFire, performs, and answers questions. To learn more and watch the video from this live session, please visit truefire.com/live.About Scott:Scott Sharrard is best known as lead guitarist and bandleader to the late Gregg Allman. But his personal artistic journey – which includes singing, songwriting, producing and arranging – began long before he first teamed up with the rock icon.It’s a mission that resumes with “Saving Grace,” Sharrard’s fifth [or sixth?] album -- and his first since Allman’s death.“Gregg had a pure passion and heart,” Sharrard says of his friend, “especially when it came to being a musician. That authenticity and dedication is a daily inspiration, and I will always carry that with me onstage and in the studio.”“Saving Grace,” with the blues at its core, bears a distinctly southern spirit, seamlessly assimilating the sounds of American roots music that Sharrard has long embraced. Sessions took place in Memphis and at the historic FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Half the album employs the Hi Rhythm Section, the other The Swampers of Muscle Shoals.“These guys are legends and heroes of ours who have played on so many life-changing records,” Sharrard says. “This record was steeped in the best the South has to offer. We cut the rhythm section and lead vocals all live on the floor, direct to tape. Old school. We let the songs and the band speak. We also had some of the best barbecue and soul food you could ever imagine, and a lot of laughs and good times with our heroes. How can you lose?”‘All those cats schooled me…’Sharrard’s travels to the heart of the American South began in his native Milwaukee. He was born December 28, 1976 – the day his hero Freddie King died – and was a club fixture in Brewtown long before he could legally take a drink.“Milwaukee at that time was an oasis for a whole group of musical masters,” Sharrard recalls. “Mel Rhyne, Buddy Miles, Hubert Sumlin, Luther Allison, Clyde Stubblefield… They were our local bar bands! All those cats schooled me in different ways, backstage, on gigs and at jams.”Sharrard was 15 when his father took him to a local blues joint called the Up and Under Pub. There he sat in with singer/guitarist (and local one-named legend) Stokes, who would become his mentor. Another was powerhouse “Chitlin’ Circuit” singer and guitarist Willie Higgins.Sharrard soon graduated to occasional dates in Chicago, with tutelage coming via jams alongside two fabled Muddy Waters sidemen, drummer Willie “Big Eyes” Smith and pianist Pinetop Perkins.Big Apple, not Big EasyThen came a chance 1996 move to New York City. The 20-year-old Sharrard, eager to bolt Milwaukee, had his mind on New Orleans. But his friend Sean Dixon, with whom he had a band called The Chesterfields, had found a rent-controlled apartment in the East Village.“That settled it,” Sharrard remembers with a laugh. “I became a New York City resident for the first time. My next-door neighbor was Allen Ginsberg, who was already one of my literary heroes at that time. I used to eat at Mee’s Chinese restaurant sitting across from Allen. It was our corner restaurant with a cheap dinner special. He’d always order the ginger fish and write! … It was like a dream, really. All those giant buildings spreading into infinity. It was so overwhelming.”Sharrard had been in the Big Apple but a year when he met iconic Atlantic Records executive Ahmet Ertegun, who mentored The Chesterfields and gave the young guitar-slinger some sage advice.“Ahmet told me that you must do it all – and well – if you want to survive as a musician,” Sharrard remembers. “He told me to get it all together: writing, singing, producing, playing, arranging. He convinced me to work twice as hard because around 2000 he saw the end of the music business as we knew it. He felt no one was around to support artists like back in the heyday of the Fifties, Sixties and Seventies.”The Chesterfields cut three albums and toured nationally before Sharrard began to chart his own course. A series of releases followed, including “Dawnbreaker” (2005), “Analog/Monolog” (2008) and “Ante Up” (2009).Ertegun wasn’t the only legend with Sharrard on his radar back then: The young guitarist also forged a relationship with Levon Helm – performing with The Band drummer about a dozen times, including his final gig just before his death in April of 2012.Sharrard remains close with Helm’s daughter, Amy, and a host of other artists on the Woodstock scene.Preparation meets opportunityIt was through Amy’s then-husband, multi-instrumentalist Jay Collins – already a member of Allman’s band – that Sharrard embarked on the collaboration of a lifetime. In the fall of 2008, Sharrard began a nearly decade-long run with the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.“I grew up on the music of the Allman Brothers,” says Sharrard. “I consider first hearing them to be the ‘Big Bang’ moment for me as a pre-teen. I’ve always been chasing what I like to call ‘Real Rock and Roll,’ a blend of blues, jazz, soul, country and folk – with the central goal being to create an original sound of your own. In that respect, working with Gregg just solidified everything I’ve believed since I was a kid.”Sharrard joined the Gregg Allman Band as a touring guitarist and later became Musical Director.The fruitful partnership ended with the 69-year-old Allman’s death on May 27, 2017. But not before Allman covered Sharrard’s “Love Like Kerosene” on 2015’s “Gregg Allman Live: Back to Macon, GA,” and again on Allman’s eighth and final solo album, the posthumous, GRAMMY-nominated “Southern Blood” (Rounder Records, 2017).Another “Southern Blood” track, the unforgettable farewell “My Only True Friend” – co-written by Sharrard and Allman – earned a GRAMMY nomination for Americana Song of the Year.Sharrard’s deep respect for Allman factored heavily into the 2018 release date for “Saving Grace.” Tracking was completed in December of 2016. But Sharrard – knowing Allman’s health was failing and that “Southern Blood” would be his last hurrah – chose to delay its unveiling.He’s now begun a new chapter with an album he consciously wanted to summarize the last 20 years of his work – and one that showcases the totality of his artistry: as guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer, arranger and bandleader.In short, he says, it’s rock n’ roll rooted in everything else.“I basically have a rock ’n’ roll band,” Sharrard explains. “When I was growing up, I loved bands like Little Feat, Led Zeppelin and the Allmans. They would explore so many styles and experiment. That’s something I have always tried to embrace, and that’s how I want to present my music today. This is what I tried to do with Gregg. Now I’m continuing that as a solo artist.”Scott has recently joined the legendary band Little Feat as a guitarist/vocalist. He will be releasing his 6th solo album in Spring 2020.

A series of releases followed, including “Dawnbreaker” (2005), “Analog/Monolog” (2008) and “Ante Up” (2009).Ertegun wasn’t the only legend with Sharrard on his radar back then: The young guitarist also forged a relationship with Levon Helm – performing with The Band drummer about a dozen times, including his final gig just before his death in April of 2012.Sharrard remains close with Helm’s daughter, Amy, and a host of other artists on the Woodstock scene.Preparation meets opportunityIt was through Amy’s then-husband, multi-instrumentalist Jay Collins – already a member of Allman’s band – that Sharrard embarked on the collaboration of a lifetime. In the fall of 2008, Sharrard began a nearly decade-long run with the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer.“I grew up on the music of the Allman Brothers,” says Sharrard. “I consider first hearing them to be the ‘Big Bang’ moment for me as a pre-teen. I’ve always been chasing what I like to call ‘Real Rock and Roll,’ a blend of blues, jazz, soul, country and folk – with the central goal being to create an original sound of your own. In that respect, working with Gregg just solidified everything I’ve believed since I was a kid.”Sharrard joined the Gregg Allman Band as a touring guitarist and later became Musical Director.The fruitful partnership ended with the 69-year-old Allman’s death on May 27, 2017. But not before Allman covered Sharrard’s “Love Like Kerosene” on 2015’s “Gregg Allman Live: Back to Macon, GA,” and again on Allman’s eighth and final solo album, the posthumous, GRAMMY-nominated “Southern Blood” (Rounder Records, 2017).Another “Southern Blood” track, the unforgettable farewell “My Only True Friend” – co-written by Sharrard and Allman – earned a GRAMMY nomination for Americana Song of the Year.Sharrard’s deep respect for Allman factored heavily into the 2018 release date for “Saving Grace.” Tracking was completed in December of 2016. But Sharrard – knowing Allman’s health was failing and that “Southern Blood” would be his last hurrah – chose to delay its unveiling.He’s now begun a new chapter with an album he consciously wanted to summarize the last 20 years of his work – and one that showcases the totality of his artistry: as guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer, arranger and bandleader.In short, he says, it’s rock n’ roll rooted in everything else.“I basically have a rock ’n’ roll band,” Sharrard explains. “When I was growing up, I loved bands like Little Feat, Led Zeppelin and the Allmans. They would explore so many styles and experiment. That’s something I have always tried to embrace, and that’s how I want to present my music today. This is what I tried to do with Gregg. Now I’m continuing that as a solo artist.”Scott has recently joined the legendary band Little Feat as a guitarist/vocalist. He will be releasing his 6th solo album in Spring 2020.
