  • EPISODE 26 (Part 1) / LIFE WITH LYNNE... A TRUE LOVE STORY
    Jan 21 2026

    In Episode 26 (encore), I get to share with you stories with the one person who has been the biggest part of my story, my wife, Lynne. Lynne, and I look back on our life together over the past 45 years.

    We laughed, we cried, and most of all, we talked about all our life lessons straight from the heart. There wasn't ever any schedule of what we were going to talk about. We just started at the very beginning and we went from there.

    We hope, in sharing these life lessons, you can relate to our story in some way.

    We want you to know you are never alone and there is always hope!

    This is Part 1 of 2 for Episode 26 - Life With Lynne... A True Love Story

  • EPISODE 24 / KEVIN KATAFIAS... IT'S ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS
    Dec 9 2025

    My guest today, Kevin Katafias, is someone I've known for over 30 years. He was my principal in the school district where I taught, a fellow high school basketball official and someone I'm fortunate to call a friend. Kevin brings a wealth of knowledge and life lesson experiences to us all.

    He recently retired after 35 years in education. Kevin was a classroom teacher for six years, then a school administrator for 29 years. His roles included assistant principal, athletic director and school principal. He has officiated high school football 49 years and is in his 48th year as a basketball referee.

    Kevin shares life lessons on leadership and the importance of building relationships with people from his years as a school administrator and high school referee.
