We kicked this one off with a cold beer to warm things up and welcomed a truly insightful guest, Barbara (Barb) Stone. Barb’s story is anything but typical—after over 20 years in senior leadership, she realized she had been chasing someone else’s version of success. That wake-up call led her down a new path, diving deep into resilience, positive psychology, and ultimately redefining what it means to live a fulfilled life. Now a leadership development coach, Barb helps others carve out their own authentic journey—and she’s also the author of the heartfelt and inspiring book, So Much to Drool About. Through life lessons learned from her beloved Great Danes (Jazz, Beau, Aryanna, and Zeus), Barb shares simple but powerful reminders to live in the present, seek joy, and find the “drool-worthy” moments in everyday life. This episode is packed with wisdom, laughs, and real talk about purpose, change, and learning to listen to your own damn heart. https://barbstone.me @barb_stone_cny…

We talk about his decision to walk away from a stable IT career and pursue his passion full-time. Chris gets real about the challenges, the fear, and the steep learning curve of building his own business—but also how it all paid off in the end. Of course, this episode delivers plenty of banter, including some absolutely wild stories from his time photographing people’s homes (you won’t believe what he’s walked into), and a completely off-the-rails moment when Frank dives into a bizarre fascination with animal anatomy that had Roman and Chris in tears from laughing. This one’s packed with laughs, inspiration, and a reminder that it’s never too late to chase the life you want. @chris_thompson.photography @cstmediaproductions www.cstmediaproductions.com…
