#112 Your Beacon Of Hope
Between working on the deck, planting plants, cleaning the garage, mowing the lawn, and taking walks where some hitchhiking ticks got a ride on the CoCo Bus, it's been an outside kind of week for Chris and Deanna. It's after that that we learn all about LaCrosse, Wisconsin and all the fun touristy things it has to offer before meeting this episode's hero, Jennifer Livingston, a local news anchor who was thrust into the spotlight after receiving a hateful email. It's how she responded to that email that set off a Ripple of GOOD and sparked conversations around t...
#111 Class Acts
From being a lumberjack who felled an 800-foot tree to spending time at the CityPark watching the St. Louis SC soccer team scrimmage, Chris’s week one-upped Deanna’s for sure, but she WOWs him with her mapigator skills when he tried to quiz her on this week’s destination of Atlanta, Georgia. It’s there that we learn the very-interesting history of Georgia State University Perimeter College to provide a program that provides associate degrees to unlikely attendees. It’s through this program that you will meet this year’s graduates; nine men who’ve proven that no circumstanc...
