Meet Entrepreneur Oksana Kolesnikova!

2025/11/05

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

So, Arthur Frischman, aka The Long Island Sign Guy, has become quite the sensation with his historical trivia tidbit videos about Long Island. He had a bunch of great stories to tell in addition to the history stuff. I guess I could do video shorts about Mount Podcastia, but then they'd find me and I would have to pay the fine on that overdue library book. (I swear, "1Fish 2 Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish" was strictly for research purposes...) If you've never gone, Long Island (and really, the rest of

I can admit that in my vast inventory of episodes, maybe a handful could be considered truly inspiring. (Well unless, you want to be inspired to be a better podcaster than me, then, it's a low bar. But I digress...) This interview falls into that category of the select few. Imagine yourself in Mark's place, covering a concert which devolves into a horrific mass shooting. Would you have it in you to write a book about it, much less, a book about the power of community and healing? Mark was fortunate

Welcome to Season 15! I'll be your Sherpa (well, who else?) to take you through an adventurous season of podcast chat, creator interviews, and true crime talk. We kick things off with Keb Pound, who's hear to talk about his podcast, and the life of a standup. True fact: the day of our interview, Keb had arrived home after driving 200 miles. Which is about how far I have to drive to find decent pizza in Podcastia. (Little help, please?) As obviously stated, "The Stupid History Minute" podcast, is an

Podcast Picks with Jim the Podcast Sherpa ·

2025/10/01

It's been certainly an interesting season for true crime, Rebels, so why not wrap it up with an episode about serial killers getting caught? Dennis' audio came out a bit choppy in spots (sorry!!), but he still paints a chilling picture of these horrific crimes. A few things to notice...first, any "gallows humor" in this episode in no way reflects insensitivity to the victims, but more to alleviate the horror. Second, I could not substantiate a reference to a story I mention in the interview, so if

Rebels, it's kind of rare on this show to have one guest who's promoted 3 different projects on 3 separate episodes, but I think if you factor Jesse in, that rarity goes away. He's been involved in so many aspects of media, it's like an endless supply for him. And fortunately for me ,and you, the listeners, it's always interesting content! I honestly knew nothing about healing frequencies before our conversation (oh, stop looking so surprised, will ya?), so this was a real education. Maybe now you

2025/09/17

Another unique episode, Rebels. Judge Randazzo felt the best way to come clean about any speculation about his family history was to write his book.It presents an honest accounting of his ancestors and the lives that they lived, even though they sharply contrast with the values that he holds as a circuit county judge. Definitely an interesting way to confront and make peace with one's history, don't you think? You'll notice that in this interview, as well as in his book, he's not making excuses, but

On one of my "Sherpa Hunts" ( I think you on flat land call it "searching the Internet") for an interesting history podcast, I stumbled across Marc's show(s), and he replied to my interview request( I guess he never saw the "restraining order" thingy?). This interview was every bit as interesting and entertaining as I imagined (although I did imagine a surprise visit from Sofia Vergara while we were recording), and then some! Marc is the kind of guest we enjoy at the Sherpa Chalet-with interesting

2025/09/03

Rebels, a few clarifications first...in the intro, I accidentally referred to Paul's book as "Crime and Punishment", (which I believe is Dostoevsky) also, while Paul was gracious enough to speak to me while he was in Germany, he was not in any sort of prison. He was released 28 months into his sentence, in 2022, but you'll hear that in the interview. We all have our stories of a "personal hell", but I think there are only a few that can come close to the horror of being incarcerated. This a is a

Rebels, I really enjoyed this interview. I have an immense respect for law enforcement, and when you get to hear their perspectives on their work, it's always fascinating. Doug's book might not be for the faint of heart, but it really provides a brutally honest compilation of sexually deviant crimes. (I'm not sure if I blushed when I read it, but if I did, complete denial!) Thanks so much for coming on the show, Doug!Doug's info: Website- dougfifer.com Social media: FB,IG, Tiktok-

Pardon the pun, but we go a bit off the beaten true crime path with this episode. But it's just as heavily researched as much as the other books that have been featured on here, I promise! Imagine, sorting through so many murder cases to decide which locations would ultimately be in a book, along with fascinating information. johnny (intentional lower case, by the way) does a great job of compiling this, along with some fascinating stories and quotes in this interview.

Shannon is a long-time advocate for financial literacy, who explores the relationship with your money and emotions in her book, "Your Money Has Feelings".

Apologies for me sounding like I got electrocuted during the interview. (I didn't...it was after the interview.)

I think that this episode fits the "trifecta of true crime guests", if there ever was one. Phil is a profiler, podcast host, and author. He shared a lot of information, but there's way more to be found, by checking out his book (link below). So, check out some serial killer myths as they are exploded, and later, The Sherpa talks social media, and changes coming to Sherpalution ( none which involve tariffs, we promise).

Almost halfway through the season, and while I've been very happy with the guests that have been on so far, this episode is a real favorite. Kyndle was so much fun to talk with, and she has a really interesting story to tell, too! I'm sure her upcoming release will make a lot of people sit up and take notice of her immense talent. (And if they are already sitting up, they will stand! And do cartwheels! Too much? Sorry...) But as promised, here are some links where you can get a sample of Kyndle's
