About this listen

 This weekly podcast Andrea invites guests from different walks of life and simply asks the question, how did you get here? Andrea's curiousity and her own unconventional way of thinking will try to draw the parellels of how we all entered this world and where they are at today. She and her guests will discuss life achievments, failures, times of being hopeless and times of being hopeful.

Andrea's wish is that when you finish the podcast you realize you're not alone.

If you like what you hear, tell a friend!

Intro and outro music "Blink" by Waiting For Eternity. You can find them on all major platforms.

  • "I Was A Republican For Too Many Years" with Joe Soloski

    "I Was A Republican For Too Many Years" with Joe Soloski
    Jul 21 2024
    Former Gubernatorial candidate Joe Soloski sits in to discuss his run for Governor in 2022. Joe talked about leaving the Libertarian party and to run on the "Keystone Liberal Party." He also takes the sting of the word "Liberal" by explaining the ideology of the Keystone party.

    No topic was off limits, we discussed drug addiction in rural PA and whether law makers and law enforcement is doing enough. We talked about candidates spending millions of dollars on campaigns while the rest of the country is struggling financially.

    Joe is running State Treasurer on the Keystone Liberal ticket. You can find Joe on Facebook if you have any questions for him.

    A big THANK YOU to my friends at Waiting for Eternity for allowing me to use their song "Blink" for my intro and outro music.

    Founder of the Huntingdon County Military Share Program, two time Purple Heart recepient, Vietnam Veteran (1967-69) of the First Calvary Division, Sergeant Reeder Swartz is finally on my podcast.

    Reeder starts by taking me through the history of the Military Share Program. He recalls being informed of inexcusable reality of Veterans living in poverty and food uncertainty. He shares in the beginning the program was feeding 30 families. Today, they are feeding 190.

    Reeder talks about the day he recieved his draft notice and shares a touching story about his mother prior to being deployed. He talks about his days and nights in a Communist country meanwhile back home knowing there was little support for the war. On his 50th anniversary of being home he and his family went back to Vietnam.

  • How Did CJ Vetica Get Here?

    How Did CJ Vetica Get Here?
    Jun 14 2024
    This week entreprenuer/business man and cohost of the Rational Republic Podcast CJ Vetica chatted with me about his life as a successful business man prior to COVID. He explained watching his financial livelihood collapse during COVID and the fight to get it all back end up on top again.

    When President Biden said to "Build Back Better" CJ listened.

    After listening to CJ's story, I've realized there really is work to be done you just have to be willing to do it.

    Thank You CJ for stopping by to chat. You can catch him and friend of the show Matt Foltz on the "Rational Republic Podcast" on most major platforms or follow them on Facebook.

    Thank you to my friends at Waiting For Eternity for allowing me to use their song "Blink" as my into and outro.
