episode From Tiny Houses to KVC Academy: Ryan & Cheryl Share Their Incredible Journey cover

Beskrivelse

What happens when two New Yorkers trade apartment life for a tiny house, then a converted school bus, and eventually five acres in rural Missouri? In this episode, Ryan sits down with Ryan Marcus and Cheryl Marcus from KVC Academy to hear their incredible journey from New York City to Lebanon, Missouri. The couple shares how a documentary on minimalism changed their lives, leading them to build a tiny house, live off-grid, convert a school bus into their home, and spend years chasing a simpler life. Along the way, they talk about surviving harsh winters, living with cats in 100 square feet, the realities of off-grid life, and the lessons they learned about gratitude, relationships, and finding balance. They also discuss how that journey eventually brought them to Missouri, their work with KVC Academy, and the important role the organization plays in supporting students with special needs and behavioral challenges. This conversation is funny, heartfelt, and full of unexpected stories about adventure, marriage, minimalism, and discovering what truly matters. Topics include: • Minimalism and tiny house living • Converting a school bus into a home • Off-grid life in Missouri • Marriage and relationships under unusual circumstances • Returning to society after years of simple living • KVC Academy and special education • Why Lebanon, Missouri became home

Good Morning Lebanon: July 10

his week on Good Morning Lebanon, we cover a little bit of everything happening across our community. Mayor Jared Carr and City Administrator Troy Schulte join us to discuss the Transportation Sales Tax on the August 4 ballot, current street and sidewalk projects, and why the City’s Community Survey is one of the best ways for residents to help guide future priorities and planning. We also welcome Mike Clayton from Wonderland Camp, who shares updates on this year’s summer camp season, upcoming fundraisers, Missouri NAP Tax Credits, and exciting plans for a new accessible water park. Ashley Mahan brings the latest from the Lebanon Area Chamber of Commerce, including new members, upcoming ribbon cuttings, the Corporate Cup competition, Business Builders Luncheon, and other community events. We also highlight what’s happening at the Laclede County Fair and around Lebanon in the coming weeks. To wrap up the show, Mayor Carr and Troy Schulte stick around for a friendly ring toss competition, proving that running a city might be easier than winning carnival games. Thanks for listening to Good Morning Lebanon, where we connect our community every Friday.

The conversation also covers the Laclede County Fair, the downtown America 250 celebration, the importance of local livestock programs, Senior Day at the Fair, Rotary and Optimist Club involvement, and why community events continue to bring people together. Sarah also shares stories from Hughes News, Pet of the Week, Girl Power, and her first experience at the Laclede County Fair, along with plenty of laughs about billboards, senior discounts, and life in Lebanon. A fun, unscripted episode full of local conversation, community updates, and a look at what’s ahead.
