Red-Tail Land Conservancy Founder Barry Banks truly is the most interesting man in the world. Though he looks strikingly like the guy from beer commercial, his real life story is even more interesting. Barry founded www.fortheland.orgafter 50 years of age and with no experience reading the book, 'How to Start a Land Trust'. Barry is also a Sailor who has been in a submarine under the water for 6 months without coming out as he tracked the Russians during the Cold War. Barry has been to law school, worked for GE, raised a family, plays music, and now (at 73ish) drives for Uber. Please enjoy this in-depth conversation about how to start a land trust, or any other mission you may have, by the power of being humble enough to read a 'How To' book. What a concept, self education and actualization!

The Hillbilly Buddha. Overcoming: From an addicts perspective. Self Awareness and accountability.
I call Jim "The Hillbilly Buddha" because of his self awareness and peace of mind. Jim's last heroin hit was shooting up from a used Monster Energy Drink lid and an old bottle of water out of the trash. From that to 4 years of sobriety and self love, peace, and joy: A conversation with Jim Cassudakis.
If you're on a mission, then overcoming obstacles is a skill you cannot afford not to master. From an addiction point of view, overcoming the demon of addiction isn't just a mission; it is truly life or death. From his father's murder to growing up in domestic violence and suffering in silence, we hope you can learn and grow from Jim's insightful journey.
Pick Your One Thing: Ian Sanchez - EPA Grant Administrator, Naturalist, and Co-Founder of Grow Purpose Inc.
This episode is special to me personally! Ian has been a long time mentor of mine, and a business partner on Doc's Music Hall. Ian is a successful environmentalist and social entrepreneur. Ian was featured on PBS in his Documentary where he was filmed on a kayak trip from Greenville, SC in the mountains all the way down to the coasts of Charleston, SC.
Ian was a coordinator and grant administrator for the EPA and the state of SC, overseeing a multifaceted environmental grant collaboration project for the state of SC. The goal of the collaboration was to reduce redundancy and increase impact for the EPA grants for the state's precious natural resources. In this episode Ian encourages us to "Pick Our One Thing", and get to work. This will be a very enlightening episode to say the least!
Mel Washington: Grammy Winning Publicist, Songwriter, Producer, & Performing Artist.
I had a chance to catch up with Mel at Burn's Alley before he headed out for two shows for the night. One of those shows was supporting Susto at a sold out show at The Royal American right here in Downtown Charleston. Mel is a full time artist and producer who has a songwriting contract, a grammy for his role in the Gospel Song of The Year, and he was once homeless on the streets of Nashville! If you're looking for serious insight into chasing mission impossible, give Mel a listen. He has some serious insight for aspiring artists and dreamers alike!
