Our guest this week is Grant Thompson. Grant was an airline pilot when he started posting videos of his crazy science experiments and DIY projects. His channel became wildly popular for making science fun, and he's become home to nearly 10 million subscribers. He's been featured on The Dr. Oz Show, Good Morning America, Discovery Channel, and Jimmy Fallon. As "The King of Random," Grant's mission has been to share the joy of experimenting and hands-on learning. Through constant experimenting and undying persistence, he's become one of the most-subscribed YouTubers in the world.

Our guest this week is Daniel Schaefer. Daniel is the kind of person who often finds himself in too many interesting situations to choose just a few to throw in a bio, but through his photography, his writing, and the various nonsense in his pockets, you may be able to glean just a little bit about what he brings to the table.
