Ep 134. ”Cross Examination” (Part 3 of Amy’s Interview with Tony Albanese)
Monday Aug 08, 2022
Monday Aug 08, 2022
This is our 3rd and final piece to Amy's talk with the artist and surgical technician, Tony Albanese. As you'll hear, Tony's journey has been very unique. Time will tell all things but as it stands now, Tony has many accolades that your hosts don't. We hope he's proud of his own path and all the amazing artwork that's already in his portfolio.
You have our endless thanks Tony... for your service to this country, to the surgical room and for your passion to keep making regardless of the medium (a common default is a surgical drape). We are honored and will enjoy watching all that's ahead for you.

Ep 133. ”Cross Questioning” (Part 2 of Amy’s Interview with Tony Albanese)
Monday Aug 01, 2022
Monday Aug 01, 2022
In this second bite, Tony Albanese has a lot of questions for Amy about her experience in learning to tattoo. It's nice because we all know how difficult it is for Amy to listen :P (she's working on it always).
It's still such a mind-blow that tattooing gets so much attention in mainstream culture now; We can thank social media for that, coupled with curiosity and a natural, human, connection to art/creating.
Tony is already an artist and we believe, still looking at tattooing to see if it's the right path for himself. This comes with wisdom as many tattoo tales are told by younger players who leaped into tattooing without really looking. It's clear Tony is looking and paying close attention. Solid play if you ask us!

Tuesday Jul 26, 2022
Tuesday Jul 26, 2022
Wow... Long time coming for this one. (Apologies Listeners.) Tony (Anthony) Albanese is a surgical technician (Not a nurse) and an aspiring tattoo artist.
Tony wanted to meet us and be on the show as he really had a lot of questions himself. Amy was happy to oblige as we all know that she loveds to talk about her experience as well (:P).
Tony is an incredible talent no matter what he ends up applying it to. Thank you for your patience with us.

Ep 131. ”Brand Yourself!” (Part 3 of our interview with Garrett Rautio)
Monday Jun 27, 2022
Monday Jun 27, 2022
Wishing everyone a wonderful week as we release the 3rd and final part, to our time with Garrett Rautio (owner and operator) of Black Coffin Tattoo (and Piercing) . Garrett's goal is legacy. He runs a stable of amazing talent and is father/mentor to Ivy Rautio. (One of the tattoo artists at Garrett's studio.)
In this episode, Rico joins us and the convo goes many fun places as it often does when Rico comes in. :) Just so our listeners aren't deprived of the information, Garrett had mentioned "Mr. FlashMachine" right when Rico came in, and we never circled back to this inspiration. We hope to make up for that by mentioning him and calling attention to the talent.
Thank you again and again, and one more time for measure, Garrett. We will look you up when we go back to MN and do some ice fishing. We've always wanted to do that.

Ep 130. ”Building Shops” (Part 2 of our Interview with Garrett Rautio)
Monday Jun 20, 2022
Monday Jun 20, 2022
Hope everyone, including Garrett Rautio (owner and operator) of Black Coffin Tattoo (and Piercing) , had a fantastic Father's Day! Garrett is, not only a father but a mentor to his daughter, Ivy Rautio. (Ivy is a force already as a tattoo artist. Make sure to check her out too.)
When we meet a man like Garrett, visions of our youth spring up as both your hosts grew up in small business families. Our parents wanted to build something for us and show that we could do anything in this world, if we put our hearts and minds to it.
Garrett is an amazing man and as you'll discover in this 3 part interview, he's still going and dreaming big. Now that he's built his shop, he's looking to help other's build theirs.
Thank you so very much Garrett. We appreciate all your time and attention to our podcast; We are grateful for you.

Ep 129.”The Butterfly Effect” (Part 1 of our Interview with Garrett Rautio)
Monday Jun 13, 2022
Monday Jun 13, 2022
Getting back to St. Paul, MN with this interview; We are happy to spotlight, this week, Garrett Rautio (owner and operator) of Black Coffin Tattoo (and Piercing). His studio was established in 2015 but Garrett has been tattooing for over 2 decades.
Amy met with Garrett first (both in real life and in this interview) and Rico joined in later. It was clear, from the start, that Garrett has much to offer the world of tattooing. He's a man that clearly cares and gives a lot of himself to this craft. From running a studio, to F.A.R.T meetings, to building legacy, to finding time to meet with us, Garrett is a pretty amazing guy (no matter how humble he is).
This is a 3 part interview and we know that it'll be fun and informative, through and through. Thank you so very much Garrett. We appreciate all your time and attention to our podcast.

Ep 128. ”Pursuing Love” (Part 2 of Amy’s Interview with Adam Rothstein)
Monday May 30, 2022
Monday May 30, 2022
We are all pursuing love in our own ways but one thing that Adam Rothstein knows about the game of life is that ya don't sacrifice your Queen for a Pawn; Or, in less Chess-like terms, you don't sacrifice forever for the moment.
Whether it's a net at the end of an ice rink or financial freedom, Adam Rothstein stays focused and in the game. He's done so much more than your average guy in his late 20's; He authored two podcasts (The Blue Oasis and The Goalie Kid), has written books, does voice acting and is on his way to being debt free... Not something a lot of people can say for themselves, even if they've had more time to do it.
Thank you Adam. We know we kept you talking longer than you ever do. It was very appreciated. We also want to thank you for the extensive work you've put out on YouTube; You will help so many with what you've done already.
Also, Happy Memorial Day Listeners! Don't forget those who sacrificed the ultimate to have all that we have today.

Ep127. ”Growing the Game” (Part 1 of Amy’s Interview with Adam Rothstein)
Tuesday May 24, 2022
Tuesday May 24, 2022
Adam Rothstein is one of the many awesome human's that Amy has met on the Nomad Network (a Jason Stapleton community of entrepreneurs).
Adam is many things really. Mostly, he's guy, willing to do the work and learn whatever he has to in order to make his way in this world; A perfect person to chat with on this podcast where we like learning about the "path".
Adam produces several podcasts: The Blue Oasis (FB page here) is a hobby podcast and Goalie Kid is a fiction podcast. Goalie Kid is a story written by Adam, chronicling a young man who loves hockey and who's finding his way as an entrepreneur.
In this 2 part podcast, you'll get some great tips and tricks as well as a heavy dose of sport related allusions.
To find Adam's audiobook on Chess click here. If you're in the market for a daily journal, click here. Go give Adam some love.
Thank you Adam. I know I talked you out. Adam is very open about being on the spectrum and I know that this 2 part podcast really flexed all his social muscles. What a sport! ;)

Ep 126. ”Pineapples!” (Post Mother’s Day celebration with Logan Liebetrau)
Monday May 16, 2022
Monday May 16, 2022
Last weekend was Mother's Day and we've been holding on to our talk with Logan Liebetrau for just, such an occasion.
Amy couldn't see beyond her week of work, so ideally, this would have been out the Monday after Mother's Day; In a perfect world, things would happen as we want, the way we want, when we want, but that's just not how it turns out (most of the time).
Logan's journey to becoming a mother was much like the release of this podcast: Delayed, filled will obstacles, but over all, epic and yielding.
In these days of hearing all kinds of talk about women, personal autonomy and controversies over family planning, we thought this conversation would be refreshing and offer another perspective.
It's never easy to be a mom, but rarely is it so challenging to become one. Listen to hear what it was like for Logan to get her dream.
Hosts: Amy Nicholls & Rico Illiano (Rico knows Logan a bit from Club House, but mostly, he let the ladies take this one.)

Ep 125. ”Nan the Man” (Amy Disapproves of Teaching Prisoners to Tattoo)
Tuesday May 03, 2022
Tuesday May 03, 2022
Pardon the lateness of this "hot take". We try our best, but at times, things get busy...
NOW... Apologies out of the way:
In this episode, Amy talks about her displeasure at hearing about Minnesota's want to pilot a "learn to tattoo in prison" program.
Amy met with one of the correction's commissioners and had a good, passionate, talk, about all the flaws of this very expensive, hit to the tax payer (as well as the tattoo industry).
Now, we would have loved to have shared Amy's actual meeting with Nan Larson ( Commissioner with the Corrections department), but Nan didn't approve of an "on-the-record" meeting, even though Amy found out about this program via mainstream media; Isn't always funny how the powers-that-be, paint the picture they want you to see?
Hopefully this podcast episode creates a discussion and gives added dimension to the fluff piece done here: https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2022/04/13/tattoo-supervisor-job-posting-minnesota-corrections-department-inmates-rehabilitation/
I would post the link to the job description, listed in this online article, labeled "posted the job late last week"... but it would seem that when that link is pressed on now, no job comes up as it did prior. Another funny happening since my conversation with Nan.
However, if you feel intensely about this as I do and have more to add to this conversation, you know you can always email us or Nan herself at : nanette.larson@state.mn.us
There's also her staff: kristine.flores@state.mn.us (Kristine) or their HR representative: katie.wynn@state.mn.us
I gotta say, it really makes me happy to influence this way. I hope all can hear this episode and understand this issue more.
