EP300: Finn Mott: Grit & Determination Personified
1w ago00:18:24Tap to summarizeFrom an early age, Finn Mott faced trials that would have broken many people, including a cancer diagnosis. Those hardships could have sent a lesser man into a lifetime of self-pity. Instead, Finn chose a different path. Through grit, determination, and an unwavering refusal to give up, he transformed adversity into his greatest strength. Rather than watching life from the sidelines, Finn stepped into the arena, proving that resilience isn't something you're born with—it's something you build, one challenge at a time. Although he's probably too modest to admit it, he's definitely running with the big dogs. If you're short on time and looking for a powerful dose of inspiration, resilience this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Transcribe →FAC (07/10/2026): ”Campfire” Hayden — Every Highway Has a Story
4w ago00:48:54Tap to summarizeThere are trail names earned on places like the Appalachian Trail. Then there are highway names - bestowed by the motorists who give hitchhikers rides. As the story goes, it was dusk, and a young man was making his way to Idaho to spend quality time with his father. Grab your mashmallows, graham crackers, and a blanket. Pull up a camp chair, because from this day forward, the Hayden's highway name is Campfire. Why? Because wherever he went, people couldn't help but gather to hear him tell, one more story. Hayden, you accidently left your sunglasses in the truck. Email me and i can send them or you can pick them up on your way back through! Alex@Plumbkendall.com Music Sourced from www.Pond5.com

Transcribe →(06/05/2026) FAC: Did God tell you to hitch hike? Or did you just need a ride?
Jun 500:40:27Tap to summarizeWhen I set out to field-test my new Zoom H2 Essential Multi-Mic Handy Recorder (which I can't recommend highly enough), I assumed I was simply going to capture some random audio. Apparently, God had other plans. While riding public transportation from Glenwood Springs to Eagle, Colorado, a ray of sunshine entered my life by the name of Dan. I'll cut to the chase: the world is a better place because of Dan. We need more people like him. Was our meeting a sacred contract, divine destiny, or completely random? It's likely I'll never know. What I do know is that some people leave your life better than they found it, and Dan is one of those people. Godspeed, my friend. We'll be in touch soon.
