John Brewer is a former U.S. Army Drill Sergeant.  I invited him on to explore his insight into leadership.  He's had multiple successful careers in leadership rolls and was a pleasure to sit down and get to know him better.

Gary Davis has a story that includes going to prison for shooting a man, a double lung transplant, arrested after leaving a gay bar and a few other stories in between.  Hope you enjoy RTE#023!

I have many great memories with Nathan Lowry.  I love his sense of humor and think he is one of the funniest people I know.  We didn't get to deep on any particular subject but we did manage to share a few stories that I hope you enjoy.

This is my sisters.  She is outspoken, loud, has bad manners and extremely stubborn.  More importantly she's witty, charismatic, transparent, hilarious, kind, caring, and more than anything a great sister that I've always been able to depend on when I feel lost.  I am happy to introduce to you my sister, Melissa Carroll.  Our conversation had a few highs and experienced a few stressful lows.  I think this is a good example of how families can communicate and still love each other when we disagree.

The BS that makes sense is Bill Shaw.  He has plenty of hard earned wisdom that's delivered in entertaining and thought provoking stories.  He's recently retired and willing to share some of his thoughts on life.  Bill has quickly became a good friend to me and I am happy he took the time to stop by and share some ideas with us.

Kurt Potter is a friend of mine that I met around the bar.  He is a Captain in the Military with a background in Civics.  He is an example of what it's like to have a family and be in the process of a divorce.  Even though it's hard, he's keeping his head up focusing on self reflection and just trying to be the best version of himself.  I really enjoyed this conversation with Kurt and hope its the first of many.

Terry Blackman is one of the best humans I know.  I was truly excited to have him on the show to talk about how he maintains his positive attitude and keeps moving forward on life.   His smile is addictive and attitude on living life if inspiring.   Random Thoughts is about normal people exploring everyday ideas and possibilities with the goal of facilitating us in becoming better versions of ourselves.  

Kenneth is a local business owner in Murfreesboro, TN and is best known as "TG".  TG is short for Tent Guy.  He owns and operates a successful tent company.  I want to say thanks to Kenneth for coming on and sharing his thoughts on success and happiness. It was an interesting conversation with plenty of 'non agreeing" moments.

  Joseph is a gentle giant with an outspoken opinion on his beliefs.  He has an intensity about him that he balances with a big heart and a ton of  patient (if he feels you deserve it).  Once again I feel truly blessed to have individuals like him in my life willing to go out of their way by the show.  I try to choose individuals that I feel will provide entertainment, but from an intellectual perspective.  Communicating with a different opinion is almost a lost art and I feel that podcasting may be the forum needed to bring back objective conversations.  

CT has become a close personal friend that is full of insight and an open mind.  He has a great outlook on life and just a positive person to be around.  I’m happy share this episode with you.
