Podcast Picks with Jim The Podcast Sherpa

Meet Entrepreneur Oksana Kolesnikova!

Season 15, Ep. 4

We really don't hear too many stories about "The American Dream" anymore. As I mention in the intro, Oksana's story comes as close as you'd expect to it. From a musical talent in Siberia to an amazing business in Los Angeles, it's certainly been an interesting road for her. And you'll hear about it in this interview. Granted, I don't normally do episodes about businesses, but hey, last week's with Arthur Frischman ("The Long Island Sign Guy") was about a guy with a business who became a viral sensation on social media. Will that happen for Oksana? I guess it's a wait and see for that, but I certainly wouldn't bet against what this lady can do. Thanks for coming on the show, Oksana!

  • 20. Homicide Detective Sgt. Michele Wood ("Model Detective :A True Story of Heels, Handcuffs, and Homicides")!

    34:54||Season 15, Ep. 20
    Interestingly enough, I've noticed that my thoughts on Michele's book are already mirrored in the Amazon reviews that are out. It was a real pleasure to get to know her for a little while, too, to hear about the fascinating life that she's led so far. I don't think watching as many episodes of "Law and Order" would make me even think that I was detective material. Heck, I don't even know who stole the cookie from the cookie jar! (Please note, if you're under 50, that joke just sailed over your head like a high fly ball in Wrigley Stadium.) But she still continues to do amazing work and serve the people that a simple "thank you" seems inadequate. Maybe, "you should do a true crime podcast" would suffice? Either way, thanks so much for coming on the show, Michele!Michele's info: Website: modeldetectivebook.com ; Instagram, X: @michelewoodnotHere's the Amazon link to purchase " Model Detective": https://tinyurl.com/ysuz2wdpProgramming note: Catch "Sherpa Selects" on Saturdays.

  • 14. Relationship Coach Andrew W. Shepherd!

    43:39||Season 6, Ep. 14
    This was recorded a few years back, but I think Andrew is doing podcasts now. Wait, does that mean I can give him advice now? Maybe that's why I can't find him online!! Anyhoots, have a listen to this interesting chat...,.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Now, Rebels, you just KNOW that a guy who went from an engineer in Great Britain to a teacher in Brazil to a relationship coach in Los Angeles has got an interesting tale to tell. And luckily, on today's episode, you get to hear that story. (And if you didn't, talk about a waste of a show notes intro. ) I've gotten to talk to a lot of folks who can help with relationships, and they all come from interesting perspectives. And notice that they never proclaim to have perfect relationships themselves. We're all human, and we're all allotted our share of mistakes. (Of course, I've been overdrawn on my allotment since 1984, but that's another story.) So, have a listen to my conversation with Andrew, Even if you're in a happy , functioning relationship, then just enjoy his cool, British accent!Andy's info: Website:www.andythecoach.com; Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram:@andywshepherd Andy's faves: Ignite Your Revenue.Sherpa Suggestions (Relationship Podcasts):Dating Talk with Keely (previous guest Keely Rider)Is This Love?

  • 19. Jason Taylor ("3 Geeks Podcast")Returns!

    28:16||Season 15, Ep. 19
    There are a CHOCK FULL ( is that a unit of measurement, besides for nuts?) of tv and movie recommendations in this episode! A special thanks to Jason for coming on the show, even after surviving a really long trip home! Kind of reminds me when I walk to the other end of the Sherpa Chalet to get yak-flavored ice cream and it's mush by the time I get to the tv-watching room. And then I remind myself that there's no freezers in the Sherpa Chalet. (Sorry that the audio sounded choppy in parts of the interview. I would say someone's getting fired, but the I remembered this is a 1 person operation!)Thanks for coming back, Jason! **(Oh, and the other creator of "A Clusterfunke Christmas" is former SNL cast member Ana Gasteyer!)

  • 13. Fitness Coach Carmelle Jean-Francois (of cFIT Coaching)!

    33:58||Season 6, Ep. 13
    If you need motivation to exervise, here's an interview for you! Carmelle was such an inspiring and fun interview, and she's STILL doing the exercise thing today, so if you need her motivation, you can reach out to her!________________________________________________________________________________________This may come as a bit of a shock to you, Rebels,but Carmelle told me before our interview that she really doesn't do many podcast interviews. Now you're probably thinking, "Whaaaaaaaat??!!" Here's a lady who is an ideal podcast guest. She's got interesting stories about her fitness journey. She's highly knowledgeable in her field. She paints an honest picture for her clients with their expectations, and when talking about the realities of fitness and nutrition. She's a far cry from the Jack LaLanne trainer who told Sherpa brother that he could (and I'm not making this up) "make his $500.00 gold chain just pop off just by tensing his neck up." Wow, what a useful life skill. So instead, have a listen to Carmelle. She'll take the journey with you. Thanks for coming on the show, Carmelle! Now if you'll excuse me, I have some neck-tightening exercises to do.Carmelle's info: Websites: cfitcoaching.com, dancewalklive.com; Instagram:@cfitcoaching; Book: International Women of Color Who Boss Up; Email: carmelle@cfitcoaching.comSherpa Suggestions:(Beachbody podcasts) https://blog.feedspot.com/beachbody_coaching_podcasts/Team Beachbody Coach PodcastThe Platinum Edge PodcastFit Friends Happy HourGroup Fitness Real TalkAll About Beachbody CoachingTeam Beachbody UK Coach PodcastWhat Is Beachbody Coaching?Next week, tune in to my conversation with relationship coach, Andrew W.

  • 11. Actress Jill Whelan("The Love Boat", "Take It From The Top")!

    30:37||Season 6, Ep. 11
    Again, one of my favorite celeb interviews. (Is that what they say in Hollywood?) As you'll hear. Jill was so nice and SO much fun. My sources say she's launching a "Love Boat" rewatch podcast, and who better? Hopefully, she'll remember me, and come back on the show! But if she forgets me, do ya blame her???++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++What a pleasure this interview was, Rebels! I've been fortunate to interview a few former child stars, but Jill really made it her mission to be involved with entertainment, one way or the other. And as you'll hear in the interview, so much of her life has come full circle. I thought it was so cool that she still referred to Gavin MacLeod as "my tv dad". (Trivia fun fact-Only Jill and Helen Hunt can say that about him.) So, whether she's sailing the high seas or "setting and forgetting it", she's really come a long way . Thanks so much for your time, Jill. We'll be looking forward to episodes of "Take It From The Top".Follow the show on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram at @Sherpalution, and check out my website, sherpalution.com , for older episodes, Sherpa Sheets, and Spotify playlists.

  • 17. "I Killed People": The "Tylenol Killer's" Deathbed Confession to His Son! (w/ Dr. Joseph Cibelli)

    35:02||Season 15, Ep. 17
    After reading Joe's book, and getting to know him for a little bit, I do hope that this case can be brought to a conclusive end, Not only for closure for Joe, but for all of the families of the victims of the Tylenol murders. They all deserve that much, don't you think? But, I do reiterate, the end to this interview certainly took me by surprise. And I don't surprise easily. To this day I have issues with jacks-in the-box. But I encourage you to check out the book when it is released. Definitely a memorable read. Thanks for coming on the show, Joe!Follow Joe on Facebook: :https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587684045766 (He DID set it up because of me...sort of....welcome to the land of Spam bots!)Here's the link to "The Tylenol Murders: A Father's Confession To His Son": https://tinyurl.com/2df4k4pzProgramming note: Catch "Sherpa Selects" on Saturdays.

  • 9. Magician/Podcaster Jake Strong ("3 Questions with Jake Strong")!

    27:52||Season 6, Ep. 9
    I believe that Jake is strill performing magic, but alas, his podcast has...ahem...disappeared. Which is probably what you were hoping for with that joke. Amyway, check out the interview, okay?_______________________________________________________________________________________I'm not sure who's having more fun on the magician episodes; the magician or me? Once again, I was amazed by a great card trick, that you can witness on my social media pages @sherpalution. Jake is a talented young performer who will certainly go far. Maybe one day he and previous guest, magician Anthony Presciutti can do a double magic bill. I can offer to warm up the crowd with my comedy stylings. If I actually had any. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to do some hat shopping. Preferably, for one with a rabbit in it. Especially a paper-trained rabbit.
