On My Own Dime

Today I'm talking with the singer/songwriter behind Frankie and His Fingers, Frank McGinnis about what makes a small music scene special. We unpack the gratitude he has developed for the people who support his music now and over the past 20+ as he performed all over the Hudson Valley with the band and also in musical theater. We discuss the influence his dad had on his pursuit of music and discuss his new adventure into the world of Fiver. Most importantly, I am pumped for the upcoming release of the new Frankie & His Fingers album, "Universal Hurt" on March  26th. Be ready to rock March 26th for the release of "Universal Hurt" and let's all give thanks for the return of Frankie & His Fingers! Thanks for listening to OMOD. Frankie & His Fingers:https://linktr.ee/fahf [https://linktr.ee/fahf]

Welcome to on my own dime! Today I'm talking with Shane Arana about growing up in Northern California surfing in Point Arena. Shane is a good friend of mine that I met in the Coast Guard and he introduced me to the sport because I wouldn't stop asking him to teach me. For the record, I am very much a beginner to surfing so let there be no deception about my skills, they are very underwhelming. Shane however, is gifted and remarkably authentic which is a topic we will discuss in today's episode. Shane will share some perspective on Localism, insight on the different surf communities along the west coast, and details on his trip to cloud break off the island of Tavarua, Fiji.
