    Jul 15 2025

    In today's episode our special guest is good ole CHAT GPT, as we sit down and asked the question - what are 10 things humans must know moving forward? The answers it gave shed light on how much plastic we ingest on a regular basis, how close we might be to financial collapse, what it looks like to fall behind in the race of technology and AI, and so much more than made us stop and think about the fabric of the reality around us.

    Jul 1 2025

    In today's episode, we sit down with JB Westerholt - a husband and father of three here in St. Louis running multiple businesses including his exterior detailing service as his main focus as well as a steady business in real estate which he has been building over the last few years! JB's story is deep in finding his purpose and figuring out which path was right for him (business vs college), making big investments with little safety net, growing/scaling his business, finding love, and raising three kids which he also homeschools. Finding comfort in the chaos, JB reminds us that you can either live your dream or live to build someone else's.
