This is the coolest. I talked to Jonathan Horton who is an author, speaker, ninja warrior, and medal winning Olympic gymnast. It was amazing to hear Jonathan’s story and talk about his athletic achievements. We talked about his book, ‘If I Had Known: Life Lessons From An Olympic Pro Athlete’, his experiences at the Olympics, his training, risk taking, and his time as a competitor on American Ninja Warrior. Jonathan’s openness and honesty when talking about what it takes to be an elite athlete was eye opening for me as I have never gotten the chance to hear the details that go into the life of a world class gymnast.

This interview with Mr. Jon has been a long time coming! I originally emailed with Mr. Jon in the spring of 2016 – and finally… finally… we were able to connect and make it happen. It was so worth the wait! Mr. Jon and Carrie shared their musical story and what inspires them to create music for kids and families. That awesome song you heard at the beginning of the episode? It’s called ‘Play My Drum’ and it’s on the new record ‘Rock and Rhyme’. You can hear the full song at the end of the show.

Happy April Fool’s Day! This year I pranked myself by skipping episode #189 and going straight from episode #188 to episode #190. Absent mindedness in episode numbering aside it was a pleasure to welcome Sonia De Los Santos to the Good Stuff Kids podcast. “Sonia was born with a smile on her face (that’s what her mom always says) and she can easily find the things in the world that bring her joy. On ¡Alegría!, a bilingual album for families, Sonia thought deeply about the elements of her life that bring her joy and tried to capture them in her songs to share with others as she believes that these days it is more important than ever to find reasons to smile and stay grateful.” Sonia taught me all about the Jarana – which you’ll need to hear her explain! Check out her song, ‘Los Pajaritos’ from her new album ‘Alegria!’ At the end of this episode.
