When Dr. Dribble's father packed away his video games and told him to go play outside, he had no idea that years later, his son would be traveling the country running marathons while dribbling two basketballs for charity. Darren Weissman's love of the game of basketball has propelled him into a career of helping people on and off the courts.

After a dare a few years back from some friends, Dr. Dribble ran his first full marathon dribbling two balls and crushing the existing Guiness World Record.  Prior to the event, he knew nothing of the actual distance of the race nor any information on a previous world record.  He just did the race for a good time.  It was later that he created his charity, Doctor Dribble's Helping Hands, where he raises money to help at-risk youth or those dealing with difficult times.

This episode is full of great stories and lessons Darren has learned along the way. We hope you enjoy it.

In this special "Bonus McGonus" episode, we recount Alex's experience at his very first marathon - the Baton Rouge Beach Marathon on December 5, 2015.  Jeanette and I want to thank everyone who offered their support and words of encouragement, especially Bart Yasso, Vincent Antounez (we hope we spelled that correctly!) and Paula Boone.

We had a great time putting this together for you so we hope you enjoy it.

This one's for you, Dad.

A ‘Busker’ is any type of street performer: musician, comedian, dancer, juggler, acrobat artist, etc. In most metropolitan areas, cultural programs dedicated to promoting the arts coordinate Buskers throughout the city in subway stations, street corners and other high traffic areas. The mission is to expose residents and visitors to a variety of talent and give an experience of connection through music, dance and more.

Buskerfest Miami, created in 2013, was founded with this idea in mind to bring local performers (and beyond) to Downtown Miami. On Friday, December 11, Buskerfest Miami will showcase over 40 acts and will include a variety of talent and different genres of music. 




We sat down with two of the founding members, Justin Trieger and Amy Cozette San Pedro, to discuss how Buskerfest was created and what we can expect from this year’s event. We also discuss the Miami arts scene and how you can get involved with this ever-changing landscape.
