On this episode of The Ric and Dan Show, our hosts welcome Sunshine Gannuccelli, owner of Sunshine Fitness and Fit Fuel Club Cafe, to talk about family, fitness, and fourteen years of entrepreneurship.

Ric and Dan suck in their guts as Sunshine enters. She's a fitness instructor, so they need to look their best. They talk about the joys (and myriad struggles) of parenting, what you gain from it, and what it takes from you. Sunshine recounts the time she needed to pull up her "big girl panties", and then poses a riddle: Why is the sun like a ten-cent coin? Later, they talk about fighting octogenarians, the shift in thinking that changed her outlook on life, and Ric talks about the iPod for a long time. Dan concurs.

On this episode of The Ric and Dan Show, the boys bring along Amber Lambke, CEO and Co-Founder of Maine Grains, to talk about history, healthiness, and the beauty of a past not-yet-lost to us, all wrapped up in a bushel of oats and wheat.

Amber is in jail- in a jail- in a former jail: she needed to turn the old structure into a grain mill from the ground up, because nowhere else had the vertical space she needed to get to work. It started with the Kneading Conference, and from there, she began to recreate the infrastructure to actually clean the grains Maine farmers have been growing. It turns out Maine has a history of grain production that we simply lost to time, and she's here to bring it back. All this gives Ric and Dan enough confidence to offer her a permanent spot on the new Ric and Dan and Amber show! But, alas, her real passion is still in farming and food. The three talk about the culinary history of Maine, the staple of buckwheat ployes, and the difference between soft and hard wheats... and as the conversation continues, it becomes clear: we have so much to gain, thanks to the effort of Maine Grains!

On this episode of The Ric and Dan Show, Dan has to interview his boss, and Ric has to interview his wife, because Elizabeth Sutherland of Sutherland Weston comes on to talk about the company's origins and history, and how it intertwines with the state of Maine, and how the marketing world has turned around it.

Elizabeth is six minutes late for her own interview, but since she signs everyone's checks, that's okay. Ric has carefully spreadsheeted out everything he can and cannot touch on in the episode. Dan does not want to make eye contact with anyone, especially as the three talk about Blue Paper Communications, maternity leave, and Ian. Everything started from a pencil sharpener, a computer from Sam's Club, and a collection of chairs on the sun porch. After some prompting, Elizabeth tells the story of the logo and her first encounter with Cary Weston. She talks about the many moves SW had to go through before it found its home in the "marketing mansion", and how much of Bangor's history it influenced during that time.
