Join me as I talk to interesting people who are doing interesting things and hear them tell their interesting story.

I met James Neathery by chance after listening to an interview he did in or around 2011-12. I had already decided that the IRA/401K/457/government blessed retirement savings world was not set up with the individual's best interest in mind. Working with James and the Banking With Life team, I believe we have given my wife and I, our kids and grandkids a good chance of getting into the banking business for our own benefit rather than for the benefit of the various wealth creation gate keepers. You should definitely take advantage of the massive amount of free content from James and his team.

Edited or unedited? That is the question. Some people like the "uncut" version of things. I generally like the LP version of songs rather than the FM radio version. I want to see the scenes of a movie that were cut at the last minute. If you're that kind of person too, I hope you enjoy the uncut version of my sit down with Craig Wallace, The Guitar Man. I started recording as I was setting up. I apologize for the three takes of "Melissa"! Let me know which version you prefer at dallasfire@gmail.com.
Please like, subscibe, share or comment on this episode.. I met Craig Wallace several years ago at "The Forge" in Ben Wheeler TX. He was hosting an open mic every Wednesday and I decided if was ever going to be able to sing in public, I was going to have to learn a little guitar. Much to my surprise, I ended up sitting next to and playing with one of the best around. Anywhere! I enjoyed hitchhiking through Craig's universe and I hope you will enjoy it as well!

Please like, subscibe, share or comment on this episode.. I met Skyler Carter at our local farmers market earlier this year. She shared a quick story of having her gas oven super charged and customized in order to make sourdough bread that met her strict approval and in mass. She was nice enough to come on the podcast and talk about what she's doing and where she's headed.

There wouldn't be a Paul Julian and Friends podcast if I hadn't been introduced to Hannah Minton by her father Rob, who was the guest on episode 13. We finally "met" through the magic of technology via Zoom.
The biggest thing keeping me from getting started on the podcast was all the stuff that needed to be done after recording. Hannah takes the sometimes rough recordings that I provide and turns them into the finished product that can then be called a podcast.
In this episode we hear about what she has going on, why she spends much of her time in England and what she hopes to be doing in the future. Thanks for listening.
I was joined at the recent Spartan Sprint in Burnet TX with my pals, Roger Littleton (Podcast guest #1) and Steve Thornton. In this episode we talk about the obstacles encountered, fellow participants, camaraderie and much more.

TD Wilt walks softly but carries a big mucical stick. I met TD several years ago while playing at open mics at The Forge in Ben Wheeler TX. I started playing less but TD continued playing, learning and improving.
Now his available dates to perform are almost filled for the current year. He has a number of original songs that go over great with his audiences as well as several covers that he puts his own style and spin on.
You can follow him on FB at TD Wilt Music. I hope you enjoy the episode.

The Texan Theatre was a fixture in Athens Tx for decades. Like other single screen theaters, it succumbed to the multiplex in the last 30-40 years. A local family and the City of Athens brought it back to life in the last few years. Kinda! It was there but it wasn't fully utilized. My wife and I would drive by and see some cars in the parking lot and say "Something must be going on at the Texan".
Enter Camille and Kelly Barnes. The couple has brought a consistent line up of game day events for all seasons, comedy, amazing BBQ and, my personal favorite, live music covering all generes.
I hope you enjoy the episode and follow CCB-Events.com and The Texan on Facebook for up to date information and happenings.

I met Bart Cannon at the Athens TX Farmers Market a couple of years ago. I would interrupt his playing by asking questions about his set up. We sat down recently and he told me about his life and how music has always been a big part of it.

Jim Elliott has a great story of "success" that turns into frustration followed by more frustration that then leads to success in his current venture as the lead dude at Cedar Creek Brewery in 7 Points Texas.
At various times he's been a corporate bigwig, a high school teacher, chief cook and bottle washer, businessman and more. Thank you for listening.

One of the things I enjoyed most about working on the fire department was the wide range of folks I got to work with. Old, young, energetic, apathetic, funny, blah. Ronny Hoggatt, who I had the honor of working with for the last few years of his career and my first few as a captain was one of the very best. In a short period of time he left a lasting impact on me, both on the fireground and in life. I can't say how many times a week that I think of Ronny and smile at something he said, did or said he would do. Enjoy the episode and subscribe if you like what you hear.
