Episodes

  1. Rodney, don’t let your parents become vegetables.

    In this episode, I played two rounds of 5 Questions, 5 Minutes with two lovely guests. I did some Gawking at the #kickstarter campaign, Peaches. Plus I talk openly about my mother-in-law acting like a vegetable for 20 years. What more could you ask for in a Podcast?

  2. I Have Always Wanted To Be a Beekeeper

    What is it about bees that is so fascinating? For me, it’s probably the fact that my grandpa was a beekeeper. Or maybe it’s unspoken importance bees have on the world. Whatever it is, it makes me want to have them.

  3. Take Me To Candyland

    What happens when you find two old cheap organs in the garbage? You make a song that's not very good called Candyland. Today's episode of #Gawkerbacker is all over the place. Marcus Summer II interviewed me about being an entrepreneur plus we Gawk at three Kickstarter campaigns. Last, I rant…

  5. At Least Google Your Business Idea Before You Start

    I know this seems like a "no-brainer," but it's amazing how many people don't take this simple step before starting a business. Maybe take a moment and hire a business consultant before you jump headfirst into a business idea that might not have legs. Connect with Woodshed Agency to talk with one...

  6. Memorial Day 2018 Was Wet and Wild!

    Memorial Day 2018 Was a Wet, Wild and Hot. After watching a long parade stroll in our downtown, I taught some of my friends why I can't bring my cell phone with me in my new shorts. I also take some time to gawk at BG Reynolds, Ovie Smarterware, and The Bandicoop Headlamp. Please leave me a...

  7. Growing up and making changes

    Teddy inspired me with our 5 questions in 5 Minutes, and I'm still not sure what Lukas does in tech. Do you someone with lots of food allergies? Maybe they need a new cookbook?

  8. Interviews with Strangers and the Lifetime value of a Backer

    Today on Gawkerbacker we talked to a couple strangers about how to motivate and strive for success. I also got to think about the Lions ex-linebacker, Stephen Boyd. Oh, what’s the value of a #Kickstarter backer? We talk about that as well. Enjoy!

  23. Gawkerbacker - Ride the Wave

    I’m not going to lie. Today is a tough mental day for me. Running an agency has tons of great moments, but sometimes the little defeats overcome you. Still, the highs can never be too high, and the lows can never be too low. Enjoy your weekend everyone!
