Everyday Calling with Guy Smith: Recent Episodes
Guy Smith
Since 2009 the world has been asking, "What is Bitcoin?"
Today's guest, David Burkett, has been involved in cryptocurrency since 2013, which means he's an early adopter of Bitcoin. David currently writes software for the largest Bitcoin mining company in the U.S. and is the sole programmer for Litecoin's privacy layer.
Our thorough conversation goes from some of the most basic questions of how Bitcoin works, to Ron Paul's presidential campaign and Austrian Economics. We even wrap up with a brief discussion on whether or not Bitcoin is the one world currency of choice for the Anti-Christ in end times (hint: central bank digital currencies).

"My devotional said to pray for God to stretch me. So I did that on Thursday. That weekend you asked me to pray for offering. Then you asked me to preach." - Austin Furman
The rest was history, or should I say future? Today's guest is Pastor Austin Furman. Austin is the Youth Pastor who answered the call to ministry after years of pursing a career in nursing. God blessed him with a season of refreshment in the gas fields. Those years proved to be a season of preparation to eventually step into the kind of work he was made to do, church ministry to teenagers.
Asking, "Am I called to ministry?" Listening to Austin's story may help you trust God in the waiting. Find Austin on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/austin.furman.7

Overtime, our interests and opportunities in life help us discover our gifts and passions. Along the way we figure out what we want to do...and what we don't want to do [thank goodness].
For today's conversation I speak with Courtney Furman.
Courtney's vocational journey, which began in nutrition and education, took her to an art school recruitment office, commercial insurance office, teaching kids online, marketing work online, and now to building her very own startup as a virtual assistant to CEOs and other executives.
What lies beneath it all? A calling and giftedness in customer service. "All it takes is patience and kindness." - Courtney
We also spend a bit of time talking about life as a mother to twin boys.

Today's conversation is with Kevan Emhoff, an emergency room nurse who has worked in large busy hospitals as well as small town hospitals. We cover nursing topics such as the full range of medical needs like car accidents, strokes, and stomach aches. You'll hear his take on the ethics and empathy of caring for criminals and drug addicts, the life and death decisions he has to make in a snap, adults and children passing away, and patients being violent. We also discuss his personal experiences with 2020 Covid protocols, the bad wave of Covid cases in Fall of 2021 for people even in their 20s, Covid vaccines, masks, and the governments mandates.
Kevan's favorite and most lifelong hobby from childhood is hunting big game all across Pennsylvania and the western United States. I trust you'll enjoy his stories and knowledge base on PA deer hunting with a bow, rifle, and muzzleloader (flintlock) and the life patterns of his favorite game. I know I did. My favorite story was when he shot a monster mule deer his brother had just missed. I also selfishly requested a free lesson on planting food plots for white-tailed deer.
Kevan is a passionate collector, refurbisher and flipper of American-made chainsaws.

Today's guest, Joel Triponey, was a quiet homeschooled kid who first found his voice as the starting goalie for his local high school. Upon commuting to business school, Joel discovered his favorite part of business administration was the psychology, or human element found in human resources. In our conversation he dives into the value of building relationships with recruits at Nemacolin, the luxury resort where he has begun his career. Check out: https://www.nemacolin.com/What's it like to walk past the rich and famous on your way to lunch break?
As a Pittsburgh Steeler fan, Guy has no choice but to wrap up the conversation with some digs at Joel, a Baltimore Ravens fan. From Lebron James to Kobe Bryant, sometimes we have to agree to disagree and just be friends :)
Joel also has some experience as a video game YouTuber.
