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.

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.
