Join Matt Kuehlhorn on the Kooler Lifestyle Podcast as he learns about Mandeep Bhalla, Owner/CEO of Grow Nearby, a digital marketing solution for small local home service companies such as plumbers, HVAC, and electricians. He is also the host of his own podcast, Born For The Trades, a home service podcast! Growing up in India, Mandeep was fond of helping his father with various construction trades and projects and later on after coming to the US in 2015, connected the dots and realized that he was born for the trade. Treating his clients like family is all but normal for him now as he strategically works to direct business towards those who need it. Mandeep puts a large emphasis on content creation on all sorts of social media channels, whereas you're more likely to get business if your brand is consistently uploading text, picture, or video content. He stresses it doesn't matter what people might think of the content, as long as they understand your story through your brand and they are consistently seeing evidence of that story.

This time on the Kooler Lifestyle Podcast, Matt sits down with Julie Reid, Executive Director, and Pat O'Neill, Board Member for the organization, Living Journeys! Living Journeys is a non-profit organization who's mission is to provide financial support, emotional support, and enrichment programs for everybody living in Gunnison county effected by cancer as a whole. Their vision is to see that nobody fights cancer alone. Pat's brother was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, as such he grew up in a community service centric environment while Julie was inspired by the 'community helping community' atmosphere she felt everywhere in the Gunnison valley. They both talk about Living Journey's operation as 'constantly adapting' to the needs of those most vulnerable, citing the large amount of changes the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 brought for everybody. They remind us all that being a caregiver is a huge undertaking in of itself and that those struggling the most are less likely to ask for help.

Join Matthew Kuehlhorn on the Kooler Lifestyle Podcast as he is joined by Lindsey Hartnett. Based out of Salida, Colorado, she is owner of Sex Plants Rock and Roll, a business for wholistic health that offers a wide range of various resources such as skincare, cosmetics, scents, and more! Before starting Sex Plants Rock and Roll, Lindsey describes her journey growing up in 1990s Illinois, travelling to Gunnison for college, and finally how she found Salida. Along the way, she got experience in the medical field and wanted to help people feel better about themselves and realized skincare is one of the easier ways to go about loving yourself. She explains that if you can't ingest something (like sunscreen) you probably shouldn't put it on your skin. Lindsey discusses some of the science surrounding it and explained the reason for making her own super natural nearly edible sun screen.
