E79: THE ABANDONED LOOM THAT BUILT THIS COMPANY Jun 09, 2019

Show notes

Six years ago, we found the last loom left. It was in Lewiston Maine, in a massive mill, abandoned on the top floor of the deteriorating building. We found it when an old-time sewing machinery dealer told Pete, "There's someone you need to meet." She was gatekeeper to this mill, an older woman who's father also worked there for 40 years. She is also the gatekeeper to the history, and the people who came here to build their American dream. Now we're telling you, there's someone you need to meet. Meet Rachel.

E78: I WAS FOUR WHEN THEY TOOK ME - Khmer Rouge Survivor Chanda Luker Jun 02, 2019

Show notes

You can have all the hands and daylight, but without freedom you have nothing. By 6-years old, Chanda Luker saw more atrocities in the Khmer Rough concentration camps of Cambodia than most people see in their entire lives. Under Pol Pot's regime, over 2 million Cambodians were murdered. She survived. This is her story: of what really happened under the Pol Pot regime, of surviving, of escaping with her family, of life as refugees. This is her story of finding their way to this sanctuary we call America, and to western Maine. Chanda's story is a heavy one, but it's one that should be heard by everyone.

E76: THERE IS NO FILTER IN LIFE May 19, 2019

Show notes

It was men like Dakota that used to grace the battle grounds of the colosseum. Maybe he lived because he had accepted death, maybe that's where true will comes from. I believe Dakota's greatest gift has yet to come. That as he heals and his pain subsides, just maybe the world will see that part of him also died in that valley with his brothers. Maybe it's US that has a disorder, and HE that sees clearly. Just maybe we all have a part of us that needs to die off too. Medal of Honor Recipient, Dakota Meyer joins us today to discuss his absolute truth, transparency, war, and how he wants to change the world.

E71: STAY THE COURSE AND WIN Apr 14, 2019

Show notes

Toughness is not a hereditary trait, it's not generational, it's earned. Your mind will fail long before your body. Defeat doesn't care about where you're from, who you are, what you've done. It wants your mind, so it can paralyze your body. Its best friend is misery, and they want company. The battle is mental, not physical. Stay the course and win the day.
