This week, we are joined by Tara Tepley, owner of The Paint Factory.  Tara is a hometown girl with a pretty incredible story to tell.  From starting her own business to the a cancer diagnosis at a young age.  Join us as we take the deep dive.

What to do when you get the schedule messed up after getting vaccinated?  PIVOT!  With the past week in flux, we switched to just Jill and Roman on the podcast.  In this week's episode, we talk about trips, life, parenting, friendships, some relationship talk, and a little bit about who we are.

The title speaks for itself.

This week we are joined by our good friend, Brian Ludowese.  Many of you have gotten to know the guy we call Ludo through his sense of humor and the incredible banter between he and Bo over at American Family Insurance.  When we first talked to him about being on the podcast, his first question was "Why?", followed by a good laugh.  This week, we laugh, we cry, and we dig deep.  Are you ready for the deep dive?

In this weeks episode, we cover a lot of ground.  It's a new year and we dive in to thoughts about the new year, and old memories and new beginnings.  Join us as we talk about the journey of becoming who we want to be, and touch on what we are looking forward to in 2021. As always, thank you for listening!

Admit it.  How many of you go in to the new year with a New Year's resolution that doesn't pan out after a few weeks? In this episode, we are joined by Steve Gasser, Chief Evangelist for Vivid Image,  a local web design and marketing agency in Hutchinson. For me, he is a leadership mentor, and more importantly, a good friend.   We talk leadership, personal growth and discuss an alternative to that New Year's resolution that we think may just work for you.

This week, it's just the two of us.  We have a card "game" that we use on occasion to spark deep conversations with each other. This week, we introduce you to the cards that hopefully make you think and spark some conversations in your own relationships - both at work and at home. Curious to know your thoughts.  Should we continue down this type of podcast with us and our guests, or do you like them structured a bit more? Thanks again for listening!

On this week's episode, we talk with Mary Hodson, President and CEO of the Hutchinson Chamber of Commerce. From Small Business Saturday to how we can help local businesses during the latest "pause", this is a podcast you don't want to miss!

This week, we take a somewhat deeper dive in to the things that we love about Hutchinson.  With the challenges of 2020, we wanted to highlight all of the wonderful things about our hometown - and some of the things we can't wait to get back to doing. What are your favorite things about Hutchinson?  Leave the comments on our show page, or our our Facebook page, Hometown Conversations.

We are so excited to introduce our very first guest to Hometown Conversations, Valerie Mackenthun.  Valerie is a resident of Hutchinson and wears many hats in several organizations in Hutchinson. One of those organizations is Historic Hutchinson, whose mission is to restore, preserve and protect the living and structural history and spirit of the Hutchinson area and to showcase those assets for the future. Valerie has been a member of Historic Hutchinson for over ten years. As Halloween approaches, we talk about some of the "haunted places" around town, and how Historic Hutch is working to keep history alive in Hutchinson.
