Episode 70 - Mollie Verdier - What Nobody Tells You About Losing a Child

After losing two of their own children, Morgan and Marion, Mollie Verdier [https://www.instagram.com/morgansplacecemetery/] turned the hardest thing a parent can face into a mission to make sure no family walks that road alone. This week Rob and Mitch sit down with Mollie Verdier of Morgan's Place [https://www.morgansplacecemetery.org/] in Sidney, Ohio - a cemetery she and her husband Nathan built on their own farm to give miscarried, stillborn, and unborn babies a dignified burial at no cost to families. Mollie shares the 3am calling that started it all, the three promises she made that night, and why she believes joy and sorrow can live in the same room. If you've walked through this, or love someone who has, this one's for you. You're not alone, and there's help. Learn more or donate at morgansplacecemetery.org. This episode is dedicated to Neal Ray Sr. - Bill's grandfather, a father of six boys and grandpa to many.

Episode 69 - Spank & Rob Wente - Group Therapy with the Dads!

It's Men's Mental Health Month, so we did one a little different. Spank from Gilbert Station pulled up to the table to talk about what he's going through - and the four of us got into the stuff guys around here usually dodge. Don't worry, it's still us. There's plenty of laughs, some games, and the usual nonsense along the way. It gets real, but it gets dumb too - that's kind of the whole point.

Episode 68 - Kerry Roberts - Broke, In Debt, And Open For Business

Kerry Roberts doesn't sit for interviews. It took us months to get him in this chair, and what we got was the real story behind one of Mercer County's most recognizable names. The bread route. The bartending. The deal that fell through. The building that nearly broke him. And the 2017 tornado that came through the front window of Ctown Wings [https://www.facebook.com/p/C-Town-Wings-100066663493670/]. And the public nonsense - that it was all handed to him - finally put to rest. Kerry walks us through all of it.

Episode 67 - AJ Mast - Building a Boathouse & Beating Cancer

He almost didn't live to see it finished. This week on TwoDads, AJ Mast pulls up a chair. The guy behind The Boathouse at Grand Lake — the spot you've driven past a hundred times on 127 — tells us how a kid from Mercer County built a business from the mud up and beat cancer with a one-year-old son waiting for him at home. We laughed our way through it, cracked every boat pun we could think of, and somewhere in the middle he told us about the Kardashian joke he made when twelve nurses thought he was dying. This one's funny. This one's real. This one's Mercer County. Hit play.

Episode 66 - Randy Bruns - 75 Years of Bruns Construction in Mercer County

The Boardwalk [https://boardwalkvillage.com/] in Celina. The Shipyard [https://shipyardohio.com/]. Market Hall. Harvest Crossing. The cottages on the lake. Roofs over your neighbors' heads. One family quietly built most of it...and they've been doing it for 75 years. This week we sit down with Randy Bruns — the second-generation owner of Bruns Construction. [https://www.google.com/search?q=bruns+construction&oq=bruns+construction&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyCQgAEEUYORiABDIHCAEQABiABDIHCAIQABiABDINCAMQLhivARjHARiABDIHCAQQABiABDIHCAUQABiABDIHCAYQABiABDIHCAcQABiABDIHCAgQABiABDIICAkQABgWGB7SAQgxNjU3ajBqN6gCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8] We talk about what it's like to take over your dad's business, build your own chapter on top of it, and right now stand in the middle of handing it off to your own kids. Whether you're inheriting something, building something, or trying to figure out how to lead the people next to you — this one's for you.
