Good Humans: Recent Episodes

Good Humans

On this podcast I talk about what I am passionate about. Gravel cycling, long distance trail running, and my home town. I will talk with leaders, entrepreneurs, and any other good human I think is interesting that has something to say. Over the last 20 years I have worked in the liquor industry and because of that I will talk about craft beer, fine wine and spirits. This is place for kindness and love. A place for Good Humans. Kisses J.

Lorrie makers her 3rd appearance on the pod and brings in her business partner from their new entrepreneurial venture Sacred Wonderz Susan Lucas. Initially the pod was to be centered out the holistic and spiritual concepts of Sacred Wonderz. Quickly the chat gravitated towards mental well-being and drug addiction with a focus on our community. It was an eye opening conversation and one I didn't expect. I learned a little and I suspect you will as well. Good humans for sure.

Meet Joe! Here is the Bio Joe sent me. He writes better than I can!!

"In the interest of full disclosure, I will explain my pen name, Joseph Stanley. My birth name is

Joseph Stanley Suchocki. My father’s name, Stanley, is the origin of my middle name. So in a

respectful nod to my father, I am using Joseph Stanley as my pen name. I know he would have

enjoyed our names being together in my literary endeavors.

My personality and writing characteristics are based on a variety of experiences. Being

a baby boomer and Capricorn started the ball rolling in January 1946. High school and two

years of college were highlighted by my playing in a true-to-form sixties garage band of

western Michigan fame.

The next major influence was five years (1966–1971) of service in the army; I spent

two years in Vietnam and reached the rank of captain. My claim to fame in service was coming

home in one piece and of sound mind. While I appreciate and understand people thanking me

for my service, I simply saw it as an expected duty to be fulfilled.

After military service, I started working in medical sales and sales management,

eventually becoming an independent entrepreneur. That chapter started with my founding a

national consulting company, where I spent thirty-five years conducting hundreds of seminars

throughout the country and writing policy manuals, newsletters, training programs, and more.

Heading into retirement, I battled depression (see the preface), which launched my

journey into being a fiction writer. I began studying the art of writing, with a goal of creating

and publishing stories in various formats. And as you read this, my journey as an author

continues to be a work in progress.

I invite you to check out my author’s website (www.stanleywrites.com) and follow me

on Facebook (JosephStanleyWrites). I hope you’ve enjoyed or will enjoy Collective Vengeance,

and look for the sequels, Counter Vengeance in 2025 and Serial Vengeance in 2026."

On this episode of the Manistee Local I have my bud Andy Lee back on for his annual chat about Tight Lines for Troops. The non-profit that gives veterans a day to remember! Here is their Mission statement "Our mission is to unite organizations, businesses, sponsors and communities to help provide a free fishing tournament open to all Michigan Veterans from all eras, wartime and peacetime. By bringing our Heroes together, we endeavor to build and foster new relationships, share their experiences and enjoy fishing in the great outdoors of Michigan.Our all-volunteer, not-for-profit efforts will improve the quality of life for many Veterans, reinforce patriotism, educate and bring awareness that we must continue to support and honor those who have defended our country and our freedoms."This organization has provided this wonderful event for veterans for over a decade.

On this Episode of the Manistee Local I chat with my good friend Teresa Kieffer. Teresa has a very interesting story. She has a gift for interior design and marketing. She is a savvy business owner and a good soul. One of the things I wanted to make sure we spoke about is her selflessness and ability to give without want in return. In this episode Teresa talks about how she actively went about donating a kidney and part of her liver to two individuals in desperate need. Most people myself included often think of an organ donation as something that only happens when someone is deceased and their organs are harvested to help a living person in need. Teresa explains why living donation can, do and should happen more often. This was a wonderful chat and I hope you both enjoy and learn from it. Hugs.

Jason Tilmann was born and raised in Michigan. He obtained his Culinary Degree from Indian River Community College in Florida- and he has been a rock star ever since. Working with some of the best chefs in the world honing his craft has been a consistent part of his story and that comes out in this interview. A simple Google Search of his name brings up a ton of information and accolades. He has had the opportunity to showcase his talents on television shows like Iron Chef and Chopped and has opened numerous restaurants across the country. I hope you enjoy this episode. Chef Jason brings a lot of energy to this interview and I believe he will bring even more to the city of Manistee with his new restaurant the lakeside Social Club. Want to be a sponsor of the show?

On this episode of the Manistee Local I sit down with Brandon Prince.   Brandon is a community leader to say the least. By day he works for the DPW (Department of Public works) for the City Of Manistee.  this work is challenging but not without its rewards.  What he does, how he leads his team, and what it means to the city and its residents mostly goes unnoticed and that's because perhaps it's just "expected."  I think the City workers do a wonderful job. and Brandon is the tip of that sword.  The main reason I wanted him on the pod was for him to talk about his years coaching high school soccer and his dedication to the kids he mentors.  I think you will find this podcast both interesting and entertaining.  I hope you enjoy.  Cheers.   Want to be a sponsor of the show?
