Welcome to the Countdown to 100 Episodes special series from Be The Good with Kate! 

If you are tuning into this podcast for the first time, welcome. Be The Good with Kate is all about highlighting individuals who have overcome obstacles, looked inward, taken the time and effort and fails and successes to find their passions, follow them, and help others along the way. 

I’ve had the great honor of interviewing nearly 100 guests for this show, and each one has inspired me in various ways. The show may be found on all podcast platforms.

Now to bring in 100 episodes, I wanted to bring back some of these guests to give you a reminder of the great things they are doing, an update on where they are now, and an opportunity to be inspired again by their words of wisdom.

When you listen, you’ll see in the show notes details of the original episodes of each guest so you can go back and listen as I know you’ll want to hear more after taking in these snippets from each! 

New or returning, I cannot thank you enough for being a part of the Be The Good with Kate community. Every listen means the world, and every comment, email, share, and review both fill my heart with gratitude as well as help these inspiring messages of pursuing your passion get to more listeners. Thank you!

George Siegal, episode 59, is a documentary filmmaker and creator of ‘Tell Us How To Make It Better’ podcast. Overarching theme you’ll hear in his episode: solutions. Tackling the problems we often fall into only venting about. Emphasis on home ownership and building.

He was a weather anchor, interviewed all sorts of people, and now hear how this has fed into what he does now as a filmmaker and podcast host.

Maya Lombarts’ episode 69 dives into functional medicine and healing from pain. Have you heard about, or experienced yourself, people being tested for various conditions but being told nothing is wrong, despite so much feeling to the contrary? I certainly have. And Maya’s story illustrates how important it is to keep fighting to figure out what is wrong and for options for help.

Curiosity for Spanish culture led Maya to explore options for living in Peru. Taking a leap of faith and Moving, she discovered with amazement her health improved by leaps and bounds…and she shares some updates since we last spoke!

Shelly Smartly’s episode 62 is an absolute mix of heart, humor, and finding a way through sad times. 

Yes and! If you know improv, you know that statement. A 73-year-old widow who became a comedian at the age of 69, Shelly shows us how saying ‘yes and’ throughout life will keep you facing your fears, growing, and living your best life. She will have you smiling and laughing before this episode is done. Despite medical diagnoses, losing a husband, and more, in addition to getting herself out of the house and discovering her love of comedy, she developed an entire award-winning comedy series, The Smartlys!

Rick DellaRatta shares in his episode 64 how his journey led him to create the nonprofit, Jazz For Peace.

One of my favorite moments is at the end of the episode, where we chat about how changing ONE person’s life is worth everything.

Danny Covey’s episode 74 will certainly fill you with hope. From being a one-year-old having open heart surgery to seven more heart-related surgeries over the years, nearly dying on the operating table three times, and all that has gone with this journey, Danny is here to tell us about it. True miracles. Danny was told he would never physically excel, yet now Danny is a fit black belt with a wife and three children working in marketing and design in Ottawa, Canada. His episode will give you such a boost and dose of inspiration!
