People I Know Show - 100: Boonmee McElroy, Celebrating Accomplishments
play

02/11/22 • 72 min

Boonmee McElroy recently released her first book, "I Hate Potatoes: They Make Me Cry". It's a huge accomplishment and something she said would be happening when we spoke to each other for Episode 92 of this podcast. Boonmee lived through an impoverished and abusive childhood in Thailand. For the first time, in her new book, she tells the full story and how she uses her experiences to better her life and the lives of others.

For me, this is the 100th episode of my podcast. It's a huge accomplishment to have published so many meaningful conversations.

This episode serves as a celebration for both of us.

Thanousay "T" Khamphoune realized a few years ago that sharing his story might be encouraging to others that have had a lot to overcome. As a child, he and his siblings had to live with different family members while his parents had legal problems. He was frequently moving and changing schools. Eventually being reunited with his dad brought some positives but also many challenges and threats of being taken away from his parents once again.

Through all of this he's continued to work hard, pursue his dreams, and maintain the best life that he could. Sadly, he lost his youngest brother to suicide in the fall of 2021, adding another trauma to his family life.

Still, "T" strives to be encouraging to others facing difficult challenges in their own lives.

People I Know Show - 97: Jeff Rinde, Modern Farming
play

10/06/21 • 82 min

Jeff Rinde was one of the other neighborhood farm kids when I was growing up in rural central Minnesota in the 1990s. While my family continually became less and less involved with farming, Jeff and his two older siblings partnered with their parents to expand the family farm into a much larger family business.

What drew him to a life of farming? What does it take to make it as a modern farmer? The beef industry is accused of being one of the causes of climate change. Is farming sustainable?

My oldest two nephews Chase Carstensen and AJ Torfin joined me for an epic road trip to eleven national parks and three national monuments. In this episode we recap our exciting journey. We did the Delta Lake hike at Grand Teton National Park, the Angels Landing hike at Zion National Park, hiked to waterfalls at Glacier National Park, and whitewater rafted through Browns Canyon in Colorado.

Chase is quite the adventurer and the main guest in this episode. AJ and I attempt to guide Chase through some of our observations we had of him during our journey. Chase turned 18 years old during the road trip.
