Why Am I Rob Lawless

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Rob Lawless, or as I like to refer to him(a younger, better looking Greg).  Rob is on an adventure to make 10K friends. This mission is so important that he quit the rat race to pursue it full time, and after seven years he’s over halfway there. There are so many parallels between our missions(it’s pretty crazy), that it seems we spend a good bit of the time just comparing notes which is actually pretty interesting for me…in fact I think it’s inspired me to start some public speaking surrounding what I’ve learned…I suppose inspiration is all around us all the time.  I hope you enjoy this chat with Rob.

Why Am I Catherine King

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Catherine King.  I found her via her work as a sign language interpreter for some of the biggest european comedians out there, and in particular a bit where she was signing crazy phrases with various accents…it’s worth a watch; check below for a link.  I learned that interpreters guess what comes next, and don’t necessarily translate word for word, but work to convey the feeling or intention of the message.  I also found an incredibly kind, warm, and empathetic person who is working to make room for themselves(even when the voices in their head tells them not to).  I hope you enjoy this chat with Catherine.

Why Am I Michael Vasconez

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Michael Vasconez.  Mike started out as a fighter, so the Marines felt natural to him.  Unfortunately, dealing with your trama isn’t what they teach you…quite the opposite, they teach you to squash it to survive.  Sprinkle on some PTSD for good measure and then he was released back into the wild.  He lived rough for a while before having a spiritual awakening thanks to ayahuasca, which became the mirror he could examine himself with, and start the healing; it’s a really fascinating journey.  I hope you enjoy this chat with Michael.

Why Am I Boylei Hobby Time

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Caleb Boylei from Boylei Hobby Time.  First this dude stays busy, I think I’ve been chasing him for the better part of a year, but as with most things persistence pays off LOL.  Caleb is a wildly successful youtuber who expertly builds dioramas of everything from Star Wars to fantastical weird west scenes.  It’s his fascinating builds that bring you to the channel, but it’s his calm voice, rye humor, and mesmerizing build process that keeps you coming back.  This shy artist has lived his life in Denver, Mongolia, California, and Thailand, which gives him a unique perspective and a drive to explore our country that few other possess, but I think likely could benefit from.  I hope you enjoy this chat with Caleb.

Why Am I Mather Zickel

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Mather Zickel.  He’s a professional actor who started life in NYC, and with multiple tries, finally made the migration to LA.  He’s started in theater, and as expected moved to TV, and movies; he’s actually been at it for over two decades now.  When asked if he would ever teach it was a resounding ‘“no”, but for someone who doesn’t want to teach he seems to understand much of the psychology and method that it takes to be successful; sometimes those that are the most reluctant make the best teachers; maybe a little food for thought for all of us.  I hope you enjoy this chat with Mather.

Why Am I Chuck McCarthy

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Chuck McCarthy.  He’s somewhat hard to describe; he’s worked in the film industry both in Atlanta and LA, he’s a prolific artist, something of a serial entrepreneur, a TEDx alumni, children’s book author, and a former people walker.  Ultimately it seems like he thinks…a lot…about a lot of things.  I think maybe he’s here to validate your reality, and inspire you to look at the world a bit differently, at least that’s what he did with me.  I hope you share this with a friend, and enjoy this chat with Chuck.

Why Am I Greg Olijnyk

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Greg Olijnyk(Oh-lean-ick).  During the day he’s a graphic designer, and at night he’s meticulously creating the most marvelous little sci-fi worlds out of cardboard and a scalpel.  Some of these intricate pieces take months to create, but this soft-spoken Aussie explains to me how it’s not the complexity he seeks from a piece, rather it’s the connection others have with it.  I hope you enjoy this chat with Greg.

Why Am I Nikki Vasconez

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Nikki Vasconez.  She is a lawyer turned pet psychic…yep, you heard me correctly.  She  regularly connects with clients pets to communicate things, from what makes a pet happy to what might be making them sick.  One of the fascinating parts is that she found this is a learned skill, and she regularly teaches workshops on how to do it for yourself.  My main take away is that she is teaching people to stop, reflect on how they feel, and how to convey that to their pets in the simplest terms they know how to use.  I think now especially, every human could use a little training in how to truly connect with each other…if that has to start with your pet, then so be it.  I hope you enjoy this chat with Nikki.
