    How to find Happiness when Holidays are Hard with Marriage and Family Counselor, Ken Curtis Dec 15, 2021
    Show notes John and I know the Holidays can be hard for many, especially when you are experiencing the loss of loved ones. How do we celebrate this season without them in our lives? How do we honor them and still celebrate with others? John lost his father over 3 years ago and we have asked these same questions. Ken Curtis has been an integral part in our lives through the last 10 years. His wisdom, counseling and perspective have helped John and me work through some of the most difficult mountains in our marriage. We wanted to share him with all of you, especially if this is a difficult season of your life and hope this can help bring some perspective and some hope to your situation. Here is a little more about Ken Curtis: Born in 1947, In 1995 Ken retired from his first career as a paralegal in the United States Air Force at Mountain Home Air Force Base. One of the last criminal justice cases he worked on inspired him to choose counseling as a second career. A fellow who attended his church lost his temper with a two-year old son and hit him so hard it killed him. The mother of this fellow testified in court and showed pictures of his son's injuries when his father lost his temper and threw his so hard his head went through a wall. After graduating from Boise State University as a Social Worker, Ken started his counseling career at Idaho's maximum-security prison in 2000. He likes to say for 23 years he helped put men in prison and then for 10 years he helped them get out of prison. The heartbreaking family stories told by many inmates inspired Ken to earn a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Counseling in 2011 from Northwest Nazarene University. He believes that helping families be more functional is the best way to prevent men from going to prison. He is now mostly retired doing some consulting speaking such as an occasional pod cast. He celebrated 50 years of marriage this year. He has 5 children, 17 grandchildren, and two great grandchildren. Ken Curtis, Great Grandpa, Grandpa, Daddy, Husband, Consultant/Counselor, Friend
    Almost Nearly but Not Quite Completely Retired & Then with His Sweetheart Wife Bought a Family Enterprise. Because Ken is retired and not taking any new clients, he recommends finding a professional counselor that you feel comfortable with to help you improve your mental health. You can email us at hanna@iheart2c.com for more recommendations and referrals. Ken, however does speaking engagements, podcast interviews and consulting and he can be reached at ken6743@hotmail.com

    Canyon County Dutch Bros & Mesa Tacos- Yum! Oct 13, 2021
    Show notes What do all of the Canyon County Dutch Bros and Mesa Tacos have in common? They have the same owner! Meet the fabulous Andrew and Shayna Randall. It was so fun to chat with this inspiring couple. They have innovation with no limits and a heart of gold to serve and empower their employees as well as make an impact in our Canyon County where it is needed. They were told that 2C is a horrible place to start a business back in 2007, but they took that as a challenge and now has proved them wrong with 9 successful Dutch Bros Coffee drive throughs and a Nampa favorite, Mesa Tacos Restaurant. I know you are going to love getting to know this couple, join me for this fun conversation.

    Andrew and Shayna Randall both began their journey with Dutch Bros Coffee in 2004, when the first Dutch Bros location opened in their hometown of Redding, CA. They both were hired on for the original crew while they were in college, shortly after started dating and were married in 2005.

    Management opportunities came as more locations opened in Redding with each of them becoming a store manager; eventually leading to positions with the Dutch Bros HQ "All Star Team", allowing Andrew & Shayna the opportunity to travel to the western seven states, opening new locations for new franchisees and training new employees. It was very apparent that the Randalls’ knew what they wanted their future to look like, so they began their journey to becoming franchisees, leading them to Idaho!

    In December 2007, they opened their first location on Cleveland and Ustick. In February of 2011 that Caldwell location became the top grossing location in Dutch Bros history. On August 21st, 2012, the Randall’s opened their second location in neighboring Nampa, ID. By July 2013 it had already topped Ustick's sales and took the #1 Spot for top grossing Dutch Bros Location Company wide.

    On October 24th, 2013, the second Nampa location opened on Idaho Center Blvd and has quickly gained momentum and has landed in the top 25 grossing stands company-wide with their other two locations in the top three out of 230 locations. On May 27th, 2015, the third Nampa stand opened on 12th Ave Rd. Additionally, a second Caldwell location on Specht opened on September 15, 2017, and has quickly gained a reputation.

    On July 1st, 2020, the Randalls acquired two Dutch Bros Meridian locations, and one Eagle, ID locations. Additionally, opened a location near the Marketplace in Nampa, ID, on March 5th, 2021. Currently they have nine total Dutch Bros Locations, and several more slated to open in 2022.

    Andrew and Shayna have also been in various work group and committees for Dutch Bros HQ, including marketing, operations, growth, design, and product development. This includes being on a small team of six people that created the Dutch Bros energy drink, Blue Rebel; sold exclusively at Dutch Bros locations and makes up for more than 20% of sales company wide. Additionally, Andrew is also responsible for the building design that is now used as the official building of DB Franchising, USA.

    With a love for their community and a need for something new, Andrew and Shayna made the decision to open Mesa Tacos + Tequila in downtown Nampa. Known for its lively tequila menu, and unordinary tacos, Mesa has gained a reputation for being “THE” place to eat in Nampa, ID. Currently, on its way to its 3rd anniversary, Mesa employs 30 employees.

    Always up for a challenge, Andrew and Shayna realized there was a demand for a clean, reef-safe sunscreen, and launched 21 Sun Co, in the middle of the pandemic. With distribution of this product local, they have been able to have their product in many of the local centers you visit, including but not limited to: Albertsons, & Tamarack Resorts.

    As a leader, Shayna has been asked to speak at various organizations and for various causes, including, but not limited to: Nampa Family Justice Center Keynote Speaker for A Light in the Window, and the Nampa Chamber of Commerce Women in Business Panel for Creating a Dynamic Workforce in a Diverse Culture. Both Andrew and Shayna Randall have received awards for Accomplished Under 40 by the Idaho Business Review.

    The Randalls’ currently have close to 500 employees.

    Andrew and Shayna have two incredible children, Griffin & Saylor. With a love of adventure and a passion for people, Andrew and Shayna Randall are committed to expanding, growing, and making an impact on their community.
