This week, Greg chats with Anton Mitchell, a gifted educator and storyteller based at the Mob Museum in Las Vegas. From his blue-collar roots to educating thousands about the hidden truths of organized crime, Anton’s journey is anything but ordinary. We dig into the nuanced history of the mob, the power of everyday choices, and what it really means to teach and learn every day.

Welcome to the warmup exercise for the Why Am I podcast called “the Fantasy Restaurant.”  In here,  my guests get to pick their favorite: drink, appetizer, main, sides, and dessert…anything goes.  Jimmy is a meat and potatoes kinda guy, and while his menu isn’t exotic, it’s a good choice any day of the week.  I hope you enjoy this meal with Jimmy.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Andy Kay.  This individual is one of LA’s finest Private Investigators, but he may not be what you expect.  Not only does he travels the world helping his clients, but he also takes certain cases very personal…much the way I think I might.  After everything he’s done and seen, I figured he’d be pretty jaded, and while he does have a healthy dose of skepticism, he still sees the good in the world, and it seems he tries to embody that good himself.  I hope you enjoy this chat with Andy.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Jayse OBrein.This fella is a man of many talents: he’s a voice over artist, an over the top foodie, an actor, reactor, and costco dad.  What strikes me the most about Jayse is his insanely high energy, his obvious zest for life, and the way he wants to bring everyone along with him.  There’s some definite parallels between the two of us, and I’m not just talking about our love for 90s pop culture, though I feel this might be the most important one.  At any rate, I hope you enjoy this fast paced conversation with Jayse.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today. My guest this go around is Patrick Christmas. Imagine combining soccer, football, and frisbee…that is kind of the foundation of ultimate frisbee. Now add in quick action, full field hucks, and insane layout catches, and you might start to get an idea of why this ultimate vet decided to single handedly start an Austin ultimate pro team. If you’ve never watched a game, pop to youtube and give it a watch, then grab tickets for your local team. At any rate, I hope you enjoy this conversation with Patrick.
