Foot in the Door

Ed gets to sit down with one of his favorite Twitch streamers, Owl AKA TheOwlPlays AKA Mel Smith. Yes, they get a chance to nerd out about what it takes to be a Twitch streamer and dive deep into their favorite game (Overwatch) but that's just scratching the surface of the conversation. The story of what brought her to where she is today is full of unexepected branches, including linguistics, retail, and Billy Joel.

One of the nice things about living in the area where you grew up is having the chance to re-connect with old friends. That's just what Ed does in this episode where he sits down over a cup of coffee with his former high school band classmate Doug Ahr. From Strongman Competitions to bouncing at clubs to teaching high school English, Doug has not only done it all but he's done it with integrity. It's a great visit that will leave you inspired!

If you listen to this episode and your cheeks don't hurt from smiling, you may need to get your cheeks examined. It's all good times and nice hangs when Lem Fillyaw is around and this conversation is no different. Clown college? Laundry mat meet-cutes? Gametography? Lem's got some great stories and he was kind enough to share more than a few of them with us. It's a wonderful hang! Enjoy!
