On this episode of the podcast, Jocelyn Westerhold and Abby Vens conduct/co-produce a fantastic and really conversational interview with me In Person. This was the debut/first time on the show for both Jocelyn and Abby; and we recorded this episode at Greenwood Park.

After our introductions and before Jocelyn and Abby start asking me the questions on their list, they talk about the Camp Champs Market event that they were part of earlier today. Camp Champs is part of The Hope Foundation Iowa and CupsofKindness is also part of the Hope Foundation Iowa as well.

Here are the questions I'm asked:

Abby: Do you like going to any markets over the summer?

If you were to host a Market, what do you think you would sell at a market?

What are your favorite things to do over the summer?

What is your favorite state park in Iowa?

Jocelyn: In the spirit of local places, what local restaurants, ice cream places, or stores do you like around the DSM Metro?

What are your favorite experiences growing up in school, could you give us your top three?

We wrap up the podcast with Jocelyn and Abby talking about more of what they do in terms their roles with The Hope Foundation and Cups of Kindness.
