Interview with Bob Pierce, 7/1/19

This month I had the pleasure of sitting down with my friend Bob Pierce.  I met Bob when I opened my business in Chelsea in 2016.  He was the Executive Director of the Chelsea Area Chamber of Commerce, and he was one of my first supporters of my business.  My first real interaction with Bob was in the lobby of the Ann Arbor Cumulus Media Studios, home of the Lucy Ann Lance radio show.  We were about to go on the radio to talk about the salon I was opening and he needed to get a feel for my vibe, my vision, and my character (and I got to know his).  Together, we totally killed it on the Lucy Ann Lance Show. A few years went by, and life had taken us on our separate journeys full of challenges and changes and triumphs. And in May of this year, a mutual friend brought us back together and we all had dinner to talk about how to address the issues that face our community today.  It was then that I asked Bob to join me on my podcast journey, and our friendship started to truly blossom. https://radioactivechelsea.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/IMG_0164-e1561494711289.jpg ()RadioActive host Lynae MacLellan with guest Bob Pierce Here we are full circle!  Back on “airwaves” and solving the world’s problems. My interview with Bob was so heartfelt and so enlightening.  It’s amazing how one interaction with someone can change your life forever.  Bob tells us about his experience in the military during the Kent State Massacre and how it shifted his perspective of those around him and of himself.  He shares his story of anger, of empathy, and of personal growth during one of the most volatile times in our country’s history.   https://radioactivechelsea.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/IMG_4816.jpg ()Inside the photo lab, Bob Pierce, Vietnam-era Veteran.
