Fantasy Restaurant Jeff Kellum

Post author By Greg
Post date October 1, 2023

Welcome to the warmup exercise for the Why Am I podcast called “the Fantasy Restaurant.” In here my guests get to pick their favorite: drink, appetizer, main, sides, and dessert…anything goes. While Jeff may have been prepared, you can never be fully ready for the full force of the fantasy. He actually puts together a pretty good meal…though he does have a worrying brussel sprout obsession… At any rate, I hope you enjoy this meal with Jeff. Help us grow by sharing with someone!

Why Am I Jeff Kellum

Post author By Greg
Post date September 24, 2023

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 Jeff Kellum. He’s a content manager (and actually the person who discovered me for Lynda), a cyclist, and a sometimes world traveler. What’s interesting to me is he finds all of these random people and alters the course of their lives, but wants to do it quietly behind the scenes. Well, I see you Jeff, and I appreciate you. I hope you enjoy this chat with Jeff. Help us grow by sharing with someone!

Welcome to the warmup exercise for the Why Am I podcast called “the Fantasy Restaurant.” In here my guests get to pick their favorite: drink, appetizer, main, sides, and dessert…anything goes. Maysey and Jen have differing meals, but seem like they fit together surprisingly well. Both sound amazing, but Masey’s Honey Paw order is the real star of the show. I hope you enjoy this meal with Masey and Jen. Help us grow by sharing with someone!

Why Am I Loose Ends

Post date September 10, 2023

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 Loose Ends…or more specifically the cofounders Masey and Jen. These two are friends on opposite ends of the country who have joined forces to create Loose Ends, which is a nonprofit that “aims to ease grief, create community, and inspire generosity by matching volunteer handwork finishers with projects people have left unfinished due to death or disability.” As you can imagine, it is a powerful story. I hope you enjoy this chat with Masey and Jen. Help us grow by sharing with someone!

Welcome to the warmup exercise for the Why Am I podcast called “the Fantasy Restaurant.” In here my guests get to pick their favorite: drink, appetizer, main, sides, and dessert…anything goes. We start by setting the weather and then working backwards…which is just how it should be LOL. I don’t know what I want until I know the atmosphere. Liz invents the mushroom situation, which I’m definitely here for. I hope you enjoy this meal with Liz. Help us grow by sharing with someone!

Post date August 20, 2023

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 Liz Giuffre. This doctor lady is a senior lecturer at the University of Technology in Sydney by day, and by night she’s an author, blogger, and podcaster. Liz isn’t a fan of gate keepers, or really anyone that stands in the way of progress. She’s opinionated and funny, which is one of my favorite combos. I hope you enjoy this chat with Liz.

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 Melissa Fortunato(for to naught o). How did this shy anxious kid grow up to be an FBI hostage negotiator…by saying yes. She has had a quite interesting journey from working in a crisis center, to FBI undercover work, then hostage negotiator, and now she uses those honed skills to help folks from all walks of life to communicate and negotiate more empathetically. She’s a pretty awesome human, and one you should definitely meet if you get the chance. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Melissa. Help us grow by sharing with someone!

Why Am I Tawny Lara

Post date July 22, 2023

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 Tawny Lara. She is a child of two worlds; one is as a rock and roll California kid and one as a journalist from my ultra conservative hometown of Waco Texas. Somewhere in all of it she lost herself in the bar scene, and didn’t find her way out(and back to writing) until she dropped everything and moved to NYC without knowing a soul there. She’s now the proud parent of a new book Dry Humping(which you should preorder), and podcast host of Sobriety Rocks; I love seeing this kid spread her wings. I hope you enjoy this chat with Tawny.

Welcome to the warmup exercise for the Why Am I podcast called “the Fantasy Restaurant.” In here my guests get to pick their favorite: drink, appetizer, main, sides, and dessert…anything goes. I learned a lot during this meal…we drink Mudgee Mud and Man Salad…yeah, I had no idea what it was either. It’s not the craziest meal, but it is…interesting. I think I could get down with it, and hopefully I get to share a cup of Mudgee Mud with Craig some day. At any rate, I hope you enjoy this meal with Craig. Help us grow by sharing with someone!
