Episode 37 (YouTube version) sees us still doing quarantine editions, but we want to keep spotlighting the people in town working hard, and this time we meet with mobile barber Reid Cunningham. With the rapid and ever-changing nature of what salons can and can't do at their facilities, Reid takes a different approach and comes to you to do the cuts. If you, your husband and/or sons need cuts and you're having trouble coordinating it all with homeschooling and such, then Reid is a great solution, he services from Irvine to San Clemente.

Episode 36 is next in our series of quarantine editions, and we're meeting with a CrossFit gym owner here in town Eric Conner at Crossfit Reform. With the gyms closed, there is a twofold problem, one is that a lot of us aren't getting the same amount of exercise that we are used to, and another is the financial hardship it places on the gyms. Eric has gotten creative and between lending out equipment to their members and doing scheduled virtual sessions and virtual socializing events, has been doing his best to help his clients. We talked with Eric about what he is doing now and what his plans for opening again, which he should be doing in the next couple of weeks. Our intrepid camerawoman and video editor Lisa did a great job editing with what I was able to get her on my little rig. We hope you will find this useful and continue to support local businesses.

Episode 35 is next in our series of quarantine editions, this time we used Zoom to keep it safe since our guest, Pediatric occupational therapist Avital Shuster is working with children. Avital owns an OT clinic called Tumble N' Dots that are still working with families either through Teletherapy or in very safe and controlled measures at the clinic. Her OTPlan system is a search engine for activity ideas for children with all abilities where parents can find activities, search by the materials they have, and the skills they want to work on. Her Skills boxes and themed PlanDough kits are sold through their website and are great for promoting sensory and motor development. Parents with children who normally get services at school might especially find these useful.

Episode 34, the official "quarantine edition" has use meeting with Luis at Santa Margarita Transmission, Auto Care & Tire (SMT). I had a lot of time on my hands being stuck at home and my car was needing some various service so I thought I'd check around as I don't have a regular auto shop. Turned out SMT was open and had some great deals and services going, like a $19.95 oil change and free pick up and delivery of your vehicle. Now since we are doing our best to minimize risk, this was recorded on the low end mobile rig, which means the audio isn't up to our regular standards (don't blame Lisa, this is all on me lol), but the information is good. We know folks are supporting a lot of local businesses, but don't forget about your car, this is far less exposure than you'd get picking up take-out.

Episode 33 is a bit different. We met with Lawrence at Mariners last November, but right now as the world is in the midst of a global pandemic, there are millions of people that were traveling or getting ready to travel or trips planned for later and they don't know what to do. This is a non-trivial matter as people can be stuck or have many thousands of dollars tied up in reservations and don't know what to do. Lawrence was kind enough to sit down with us and offer some tips and his help for those in need.

We left the green screen up so you can see the raw behind the scenes studio. We hope you enjoy it and we look forward to meeting with more businesses in 2020.

Episode 29 brings us to the world of leisure and travel as we meet with Mariners Mission Bell Travel Services owner Lawrence Simon. Originally from Manchester England, Lawrence has been doing travel services for many years here in RSM and has great knowledge and passion for the subject. I came away wanting to do an Eastern European river cruise with my wife next year. I personally have always preferred using a travel agent for trips instead of something like Travelocity and meeting with Lawrence just reaffirmed that fact for me.

We had a fabulous time in Episode 27 getting to meet some of the adults, parents and kids involved in the Trabuco Hills High Schoo Marching Band. Why was this so awesome? Well, these very hardworking folks won enough competitions and did such a great job that they earned a coveted spot to perform in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in 2020. The challenge is that they really need a raise a fair amount of money, so they are starting early. In this episode we spend some time with the adults in our studio and then some of the kids out at practice. We hope you are as moved by this amazing accomplishment as we were and are able to donate to help them out.

Politics is one of those polarizing topics, but the people we elect are very important with regard to how we are able to live our lives. To that end we decided to meet with California Assemblyman Bill Brough for the 73rd District, which means he represents us here in Rancho Santa Margarita in the California statehouse. We found out about Assemblyman Broughs background, his legislative accomplishments, and his upcoming priorities. One of the topics that presented some very shocking data was around the agency that controls the toll roads known as the TCA. Please take the time to find out more about your local representatives, the primary is coming up early next year.

Please consider sponsoring our program on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodmorningra... Who thought orthodontics could be so interesting? Episode 25 proves that it sure can be as we visit Dr. Richard Ting. Dr. Ting is breaking new ground with revolutionary techniques that have patients and other doctors from around the world coming to him for treatment and to learn. Something we talked about before we filmed but didn't make it into the final footage was that his work has been effective in helping many children that have been suffering from what has been diagnosed as ADHD. The root problem is that the children are not getting enough sleep due to airway problems, which is something Dr. Ting can fix. This episode was a real eye opener to me on a topic I've never given a lot of thought to.

Please consider sponsoring our program on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/goodmorningrancho Episode 22 is a much more serious topic that we wanted to tackle, especially with the new school year starting. Bullying and cyberbullying continues to be a major problem, not just with kids but also with adults. We wanted to talk to Dr. Randy Gilchrist who has a Doctor of Psychology and a Master of Science in Family and Human Development that specializes in marriage and family therapy. Dr. Gilchrist provides insights on how to identify if your child is being bullied, in a depressive state or possibly a bully themselves. This is meant to be an informative episode, not to highlight any business. As a side note on production, we were testing out a green screen on the intro and outro and had some issues with the audio, but all the important parts are clear.
