  • Outstanding podcast

    Podcast is great. However, not a fan of the original Indiana Jones movies is an unacceptable opinion. Freedom of speech only goes so far.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

More Than Meets the Eye with Optometrist Wesley Dunnam
Q: How does eye health relate to overall health beyond glasses and vision?
Eye health reveals information about systemic conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular health, autoimmune issues, and GI health, because the eyes reflect vascular and neural status that mirrors the rest of the body.
More Than Meets the Eye with Optometrist Wesley Dunnam
Q: What inspired you to pursue optometry after your foul ball incident?
The injury sparked curiosity about how eye health reflects overall health, and seeing the direct impact on vision pushed him toward a career that combines medical science with patient care.
49 Years on a Boat, with Bob Reynolds
Q: How did you first get interested in riverboats?
He explains discovering the Delta Queen as a teenager, being drawn to boats and the river, and deciding to pursue a career after learning pilots could earn a good living without a college degree.
Lori Dial on the Power of Trying
Q: What tips would you give aspiring teachers, if you could design a training program for them?
Build relationships first. Rapport and respect are foundational, and in a world of standards and testing, that relational core is what sustains students and teachers alike.
Lori Dial on the Power of Trying
Q: What do you think helps people become most successful, especially students you've seen over the years?
The ability to put themselves out there, to try things even if they're not sure it'll work. High school is a short window, so you have to take opportunities, learn from them, and keep trying until you find what fits.
