Still in the Game: Randy Shaver
Randy Shaver joins us and talks about his transition to retirement after 40+ years at KARE 11. He is far from fully retired but loves his new pace of life. This is his favorite and busiest season, hosting a live-streaming prep football show called Strib Varsity on Friday nights. Even though he has been covering prep sports his whole career, he talks about why this show is different and so exciting and satisfying. He updates us on his amazing charity, The Randy Shaver Cancer Research Fund, that he runs with his wife, Roseann. He and his wife love that both of their boys and their grandchildren live close, and they get to spend plenty of time with them.Brought to you by: Continental Diamond (continentaldiamond.com/), By the Yard Outdoor Furniture (bytheyard.net), Aquarius Home Services (www.aquariushomeservices.com/), & The Pursuit of Happiness on Minnesota PBS (https://minnesotapbs.org/pursuit-of-happiness?utm_source=Weathering+Life&utm_medium=Podcast+Sponsorship&utm_campaign=Pursuit+of+Happiness)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

30 Ballparks, One Life-Saving Mission
Jonathan St. Clair started the Wave Maker Tour, and we had to talk to him about his remarkable summer. He traveled to 30 Major League Baseball ballparks in 30 days, traveling (planes, trains & automobiles) across the country, always donning a life jacket with a message about something that affects every family: water safety. Jonathan and his wife Julie founded the Jasper Ray Foundation in 2014 after their son Jasper's drowning death who was only 21 months old. They have a mission centered on drowning prevention and child safety. One of his most impactful days was the day he came to Target Field accompanied by the Taylor Family, the founders of Abbey’s Hope.Brought to you by: Continental Diamond (continentaldiamond.com/), By the Yard Outdoor Furniture (bytheyard.net), & Aquarius Home Services (www.aquariushomeservices.com/)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
