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.

Why Am I Scott Longert

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 Scott Longert.  He’s first and foremost, obsessed with baseball.  He’s written several books that chronicle the lives and times of ball players to give folks today the sense of what these people were like in the early 1900s.  For that matter he gives a sense of what America was like and how baseball impacted all of it.  Scott marries his love of baseball with that of history to try and remind us where we come from, so that maybe we can appreciate what we have just that little bit more.  Please share with a friend to help us grow, and I hope you enjoy this chat with Scott.

Fantasy Restaurant Cold Spot Paranormal Research

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.  The Coldspot team does quite well, even with me throwing them some curveballs.  This is the first time I’ve had three people in the restaurant, so I was worried the kitchen would have trouble keeping up, but with this delightful menu, it was no problem.  I hope you enjoy this meal with the Cspotters.

Why Am I Cold Spot Paranormal Investigators

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 actually a team, the Coldspot Paranormal Investigators, which is composed of Josh, Jamey, and Aleca.  I found this trio via their podcast, Paranormal Peeps, but what has me most interested is their “short” road trips that have them doing investigations at all hours of the night in places from old theaters to abandoned prisons.  While the common theme is ghost hunting, each member has their own reason for hunting ghosts and their own beliefs as to why they exist.  I hope you enjoy this conversation and may the ghosts be ever in your favor.  Help us grow by sharing with someone!
