#3 - Sharleen & John Wagner (USA)

Sharleen & John (to me) are "Mom Mom & Pots", my "third grandparents". We have common ancestry and found each other twenty years ago thanks to a single letter. During our virtual chat, we discuss family history and personal memories, talk about Pots' experiences as a young air force pilot, his encounters with the Kennedys and living through the Washington D.C. riots after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, hear about Mom Mom's favorite world travels, and more. So grab a cup, get comfy, and hear from two of my favorite people!

Sisters Nina & Caterina are "the rugby girls". They've both been active players since they were kids - a decision that was motivated by their late dad's love for the sport. During our talk, we discuss facing your sister on the field, challenges and inequalities female athletes still deal with in 2021, the mindset that keeps them going as well as their parents' enduring support, other athletic endeavours, and more. So have a cup ready, listen in, and get inspired!

Spencer is "the coffee guy". In 2019, he started "Find That Coffee", a blog about independently owned coffee shops, in order to "tell their story". During our talk, we discuss the origin and the future of the "FTC" brand, unexpected (and crazy) experiences during his solo van trip from his home state Maryland to California, why it is important to chase your dreams, and more. Listen in and "Let's Get Roasted"!
