Episode 11: Marvin Pratt | Paradise and the anatomy of a disaster: After the flames have died.

On Today's episode Marvin Pratt, Director of Environmental Health and Safety and Emergency Manager for California State University, Chico joins us to share his perspective on recent Camp Fire in Paradise, California and the immediate and lasting impact of an event of this magnitude. What happens after the tragic honeymoon is over, after the media gets their fix and leaves town. As much as we'd like, the disaster doesn't leave with them.  We talk about the logistics of the immediate tsunami of people fleeing the flames and having nowhere to go as well as the continuous impact of 30,000 homeless residents suddenly needing a place to go and rebuild their lives. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/parrishthethought/message

Episode 9: Dan Burkey | Dirty jobs in Montana

We spend a few minutes today with Dan Burkey, owner of Mobile Grime Control based in Laurel Montana. Dan was my very first interview last year. We talk about his journey from a 9 to 5 job working for someone else to running his own mobile cleaning business and the joy and additional freedom he now has because he was and still is willing to get uncomfortable. Sit down and get a little dirty. #mobilegrimecontrol --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/parrishthethought/message

Episode 8: Kenny Wyland, Liberal, Atheist, Geek | The Mormon, the monkey and a little engineering.

It's no secret we are becoming a more divided people by the day. The days of civil discussion seem, at times, to be a thing of the past. Religion, politics, social media, you name it and we fight about it. All is not as bleak as it may seem. My guest today is Kenny Wyland, self proclaimed Liberal Atheist Geek and owner of the website of the same name. We dive into how the lessons from his beginning college engineering courses and the simple teachings of Jesus Christ to love thy neighbor can bring us back together.

Episode 5: Stephanie Halford Taylor | Oh my God! Does it really matter?

Is the acronym OMG offensive to Christians? Perhaps it should be. Does it even matter? Some would say yes. Others. Not so much. Have we gotten too casual in our language? Today we talk with Stephanie Taylor, host of the Mental Marinade podcast and discuss reaction to a recent social media post asking Christians to be more respectful of God in their language. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/parrishthethought/message
