Send Us a Message! 🔵🟡🔴 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2373847/fan_mail/new] In Episode #9 of The Criste Cast, I sit down with genealogist, educator, and rare banknote expert Don Ludwig to uncover the life-changing power of family history. (Also happens to be my fourth cousin twice removed) Genealogy isn’t just about names and dates, it's about connection. Don shares jaw-dropping stories, from reuniting a mother and daughter after 60 years apart, to discovering my great-grandfather was in one of the reconnaissance planes behind the Enola Gay during the bombing of Hiroshima. We dive deep into how you can start your own family tree, the ethical outreach needed to build trust with lost relatives, and how technology (and AI) is reshaping the way we preserve truth and history. Plus, Don reveals his fascinating parallel career in the world of international polymer banknotes. Whether you're a history buff, a tech enthusiast, or just want to find out who you really are, this conversation is packed with wisdom and incredible stories. 👇 Drop a comment: Have you ever researched your family tree?

The Criste Cast #8 | James Oliva: What If Weird Is the Way? 🎸

Send Us a Message! 🔵🟡🔴 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2373847/fan_mail/new] Today, I sit down with James Oliva (‪@thetlbpod), audio engineer, strange rock frontman, and host of the Totally Legitimate Business podcast, to explore creativity, confidence, and the chaos of carving your own path. 🎙️ From growing up in Nebraska to crafting niche music in Nashville, James shares how being "weird" became his greatest strength. We dive into music as therapy, the rise of AI in creativity, the mystery of synchronicity, and what it really means to break free from the mold. Are we all antennas for something greater? Can niche become mainstream? And is AI going to free artists or replace them? Let’s get into it. * James TLB Podcast [https://www.youtube.com/@thetlbpod] * Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/totallylegitimatebusiness] * TLB Buzzsprout [https://thetlbpod.buzzsprout.com/] 🔵🟡🔴 #thecristecast #jamesoliva #weirdwins Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2373847/support] * https://linktr.ee/thecristecast [https://linktr.ee/thecristecast] - Learn More!
