Lisa Michele, @relentlesshistory, joined me for this week's episode of International Sign Finders as her second book--Vintage Signs of Utah Vol II--hits the store shelves.

Kelsey McClellan joins the show this week and educates me about the Chicago Style of Sign Painting, the Beverly Sign Company, and Stock Car painting. I get a bit derailed, per usual, but I'm glad to admit I was a tabla rasa when it comes to this topic. Kelsey was very awesome to share the Beverly Sign Company story and tell us about the books that are hitting the shelves soon!

Stefanie Poteet - @retroroadsidephotography - joins the show and we talk about her Hero arc from college graduate to Cross Country Voyagers to where she is at today. It was a blast having her on the show and I'm sure we could talk for a few more hours in the future.

It's been a wild week. I was on a cruise with my family and had it interrupted by Hurricane Milton. I finally got this week's show together with the AMAZING Heather David. She's a veritable 5-tool player in the sign game: restoring, fundraising, author, and so on. She gives many-a-great reason to put San Jose, CA on your sign finding bucket list.
