This week, Dee and I chat with an old friend of Dee’s, Brent Crampton. As a DJ, he started a new day-party series in Benson (one you’ve heard Dee talk about A LOT). He also has a ton of insight into the world of sustainability, helping launch a residential compost drop-off program in Omaha and helped over 500 businesses launch their own composting and recycling programs. So, we had a lot to talk about!

We talked about kid-friendly events vs. kiddie events, and we got Brent to share some Omaha restaurants that are nailing it when it comes to sustainable practices.
The episode is also available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify Podcasts. You can also watch the full episode on Youtube.
