Creative Cliff Jumpers

This follows my interview with Angie Shanks, and this time I get to talk with the whole family and hear their exciting stories about selling their house and living on a bus. This episode has funny, heartwarming, faith-building stories for the whole family to enjoy! Cover artwork was done by the oldest daughter, Bella Shanks, when she was 12 years old.

Meet Angie Shanks. Wife, Mom of four awesome people, massage therapist, beautiful soul. In 2011, Angie and her family decided to sell everything and trade their comfortable, suburban life to venture out into the unknown in pursuit of "the more." They bought a bus, gutted it, and made it their home for four years. I have been so blessed to get to know Angie and her family a little better, and I am very excited to have them on the podcast so they can share some of their story with you.

Joseph shares about how he first got into television production and hosting, he talks about how he got the vision for his long running show Christian Media Spotlight podcast, and he shares about ways he has learned to know when it is God's will, when it is not, and when to allow God's grace to carry us through. This was an insightful, powerful episode, that I know will encourage listeners! Joseph's podcast is all over the internet! Listen to Christian Media Spotlight on iHeart radio!

This was a fun interview! Hear from another creative cliff jumper who literally takes leaps to swing across monkey bars and faces challenges that 95% of the population shies away from. Dean Velasco shares his experience as an Obstacle Course Racer! Perhaps hearing his story will boost your confidence to try something just a little more risky, that makes you feel more alive! Wink. Nudge.

So you think you are the best pumpkin carver on the block? You haven't seen my friend, Alex Wer AKA thepumpkingeek's pumpkins.

If you are an American Idol fan, you might remember Madison Vandenburg from Season 17 (2019). She was sixteen years old when she competed on the show and landed third runner up. She blew all the judges out of their studio folding chairs and I believe Katy Perry had to pick her jaw up off the ground, right before she said Madison was the "next Kelly Clarkson."  Madison was my very first podcast guest! We had a lovely chat about her life after American Idol, taking risks, what it is like for her to be 21, and more. The podcast also includes some of her music. I hope you will tune in on Spotify or click onto my link to hear it. If you like the podcast, please subscribe and share on social media so you can help others find it.
