We're back, baby! On this first episode of Season 5 of the I Heart Costa Mesa podcast, we welcome Founder + CEO of the Teen Leadership Foundation, Lisa Castetter, to the studio! Castetter is paving the path to adulthood for teens aging out of Orange County foster care. Not content to just help these young adults become functional, she's setting her sights on shaping them to become the next generation's leaders. As part of her vision - and buoyed by her background in the apparel industry - Castetter recently launched Framewerk Imaging here in Costa Mesa. It's a local print shop that's employing former foster youth, and raising money to fund Teen Leadership Foundation. If you're a local business or organization that needs teeshirts, mugs, hats, or other swag printed up - check out Framewerk Imaging and help support Castetter's mission.

When Chef Thomas Curran's much-hyped, Costa Mesa restaurant didn't pan out, he found himself at a fork in life's road. Fifty, spent, and yearning to rediscover meaning - after years "head down" in the restaurant industry - he was ripe for a change. So, he shuttered Taco Brat, boxed up his stuff, and flew to the East Coast to embark on a journey few would have the courage or fortitude to take: walk across the country. 231 days, countless footsteps - and lots of insights, new friendships and stories later - Thomas Curran completed his walk across the continental United States and has returned to Costa Mesa. Listen in as he shares his story of courage, self-discovery and grit on this beautiful and inspiring episode of the I Heart Costa Mesa podcast.
