Ever wondered how a 93-year-old can still bring joy to an amusement park? Tune in as Brandon shares the heartwarming story of Evie Bench, the spirited ride operator at Little America Amusement Park in Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Brandon gives us a real-time report from the bustling environment of a Starbucks en route to Disneyland. From the buzz of coffee grinders to the thrill of theme park rides, this episode is all about the contrasting sounds of life and the inspiring tales within them. We delve into the significance of keeping the elderly active in public life, showcasing how Evie’s decades of service—from her years behind a bar to her current role—underscore the vitality that comes with staying engaged, no matter your age.

Get ready to explore some of the most innovative mini golf concepts in the Midwest! We spotlight unique themed courses in Nebraska and Missouri, with new expansions coming to Des Moines, Iowa. Imagine battling through a medieval putt or navigating a prehistoric landscape with every swing—these courses promise creativity and physicality in spades. On a different note, we introduce Mayor Clayton’s Wonder Lab at Give Kids the World Village in Orlando, a magical haven for children with life-threatening conditions. Wrapping things up, Christine and Brandon leave you with some final reflections to keep you motivated and connected. Join us for an episode filled with inspiration, creativity, and a reminder that age is just a number when it comes to staying active and impactful.
