Welcome back to Well, What Do You Know?

This week’s episode features a conversation that’s honest, raw, and at times hard — but also incredibly powerful.

My guest, Kelsey Lust, shares her story of growing up in a complicated family, navigating loss and trauma at a young age, and finding resilience through some truly difficult chapters of her life.

This is a conversation about perseverance, accountability, and what it really takes to keep moving forward when life doesn’t go the way you planned.

I’m really grateful that Kelsey was willing to share her story — and I think you’ll take something meaningful away from it.

Welcome back to Well, What Do You Know? Today we’re jumping into Part 2 of my conversation with Livv Seddon.

Even though Livv and I barely knew each other when we sat down to record, the conversation flowed so easily that it became a two-part episode.

In Part 2, Livv dives into the college recruiting process, her time as a player, her coaching career at Kansas State, Iowa State, and Oregon State, and the transition into her current role working with young athletes. It’s a great second half.

Here’s Part 2 of my conversation with Livv Seddon.

Welcome back to Well, What Do You Know?
When I sat down with today’s guest, Livv Seddon, it was only the second time we had ever spoken — but the conversation took off so naturally that we ended up recording for more than an hour, which turned into this two-part episode.

In part 1, Livv talks about her childhood, moving all over the country, her family, and how soccer became such a huge part of her life. It’s a great story, and I’m excited for you to hear it.

Please enjoy part 1 of my conversation with Livv Seddon.

Today’s episode is a special one — and a little different. This conversation wasn’t recorded by me. Instead, Rosalie Lyons, a longtime resident of Westminster, California, sat down with her son Dave and her granddaughter Karissa to share some stories from her life. And honestly, that makes this episode feel even more personal and warm. It’s three generations, all in the same room, capturing precious family memories.

And here’s the best part: this episode is only 19 minutes long. It won’t take much time to listen, but it will give you so much—stories from small-town South Dakota, adventures in Japan, landing airplanes near cows and oceans, raising three boys, bowling 300 games, and living a life Rosalie herself rates as a “9.5 out of 10.”

It’s short, heartfelt, and full of the kind of wisdom that only comes from a life well-lived.
I hope you enjoy hearing Rosalie's stories as much as I did.

In this episode of Well, What Do You Know?, I sit down with Kenny Long — a lifelong Iowan, master mechanic, and comedian masquerading as one.

Kenny’s stories take us from his childhood on the family farm near Moravia to a life spent fixing engines, raising a family, and turning everyday moments into laughter. It’s part history, part stand-up routine, and a full dose of small-town Iowa charm.

Well, What Do You Know? — proving that if we just sit down and listen to people’s stories, we’ll find we’re not all that different.

In this episode, I sit down with Steve and Gloria Crall, a couple who’ve spent their entire lives in southern Iowa. Steve has worked the land as a farmer, while Gloria has worn many hats — including years as a dedicated cook at Moravia Community School District.

Married for 55 years, the Cralls have built a life rooted in faith, family, and hard work. Together, they’ve raised three wonderful children, watched five grandchildren grow, and now get to enjoy three great-grandchildren.

Our conversation is a touching reflection on their family history, their deep connection to their community, and the strength of a marriage that’s stood the test of time.

I think you’ll find a lot of warmth, wisdom, and maybe even a few lessons about what it really means to build a life together.

Welcome back to Well, What Do You Know? — the podcast where we explore the stories behind the people you think you know.

Today, we’re kicking off Part 2 of my conversation with Rob Luther. If you missed Part 1, Rob shared his Iowa roots, his start in coaching, and his unlikely journey into school administration.

In this episode, we go deeper. Rob opens up about his coaching philosophies, the leadership lessons he’s learned over decades in schools and on the field, and how he balances all of it with being a devoted father and husband.

It’s a conversation full of insights, stories, and practical wisdom from someone who has truly done it all—and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

Today kicks off part one of a two-part conversation with Rob Luther. Rob has lived a life full of chapters—successful high school athlete, New York actor, long-time high school principal, football coach at programs across Iowa, and above all, a devoted father and husband.
In this first episode, Rob takes us back to his roots in Des Moines and Maxwell, shares how he found his way into coaching, and opens up about his unexpected journey into school administration. It’s a story of drive, change, and the importance of finding purpose in every stage of life.
