FML Podcasts
September 2025
We are so fortunate to get a chance to sit down and have a coffee with these amazing people. Whether a musician or a founder, the journeys are so similar, yet so different. In every case though, perseverance, boosters and commitment are clearly ingredients that drive success.

$1.6 Million From One Tweet: That’s Community and that's Mike farwell
Here is another great example of how one teacher can make a huge difference. How school arts programs impact community and how purpose evolves.
Join us as we learn how a local legend recognized his passion and pursued it over the years. Hear about how a movement was started and the FML that drove it. Heartache and loss do not have to be the end.
Sometimes, with a vision and perseverance, loss can be turned into something powerful.
​
Please listen and learn from our great friend, Mike Farwell.

BARRY DANIELS: Unsung hero
You likely don’t know who Barry Daniels is. Unless you were in one of his choirs or musical productions, you would think he was just a regular guy. A common theme I find in the interviews we do is that the people who make the greatest impact on people’s lives have no clue they are doing it. They also don’t think they are that good. Barry is one of those guys. He's singing’s unsung hero. A man who challenged others, who gave them opportunities and who made it hard to quit. Barry follows his own drummer, like most of us founders and musicians, and his life story is an excellent example of someone who has found his life.

Bob mathers
You build your dream career. You are going places. Wearing the most expensive suits. Driving the most expensive cars. You’re working sixteen hour days.
And then BAM! It’s over.
​
You are fired without warning. A corporate restructuring. Now what?
You have a young family with needs.
The job market has collapsed.
No one is taking your calls.
Your self esteem is destroyed.
