🚀 Matt Freedman calls himself the least talented person ever to set foot in Nashville. He also has a publishing deal and close to 500 songs written.

He was a red shirt quarterback at Bloomsburg who waited almost three years for the starting job, then tore his PCL, MCL and meniscus on a single rollout in an inner squad scrimmage. Fourteen months of recovery. He says he was depressed, holding a clipboard, charting plays, going up and down Bloomsburg hills on crutches in the winter. Music was the only outlet left, so he wrote songs. Years of mailing them to Nashville publishers produced a Keith Urban pitch that got put on hold and has still never gone anywhere, and that dead end is what produced the relationship that led to a publishing deal. He calls it a fourteen year process, overnight in the making.

🎧 Anthony Pinto hosts Bucks Co Living and works as a top-producing RE/MAX REALTOR® in Newtown with 16+ years as a Realtor, Property Manager, and Relocation Specialist. He spends his days with the people building things here, and he and Matt are Council Rock and Bishop Egan guys who never played against each other. Matt brings the business half. A rogue eighty degree day near St. Patrick's Day, a trunk full of clubs, nobody in golf shoes, and a stop at Home Depot for drill bits to screw spikes into a pair of Sperry Top-Siders. Forty orders from friends turned into a call to the spike manufacturer, who asked why he did not just make the whole shoe and handed him a factory in Taiwan. His last $15,000 bought 300 pairs. They sold out by Christmas. The next year he moved 10,000 pairs and sold to a private equity firm outside Boston. Two years into the startup he joined next, Facebook bought it for over a billion dollars.

💡 What You'll Learn:

✔️ Rebuild a plan when one play takes the only one you had

✔️ Turn a garage favor for ten friends into a factory order

🚀 Will Mead made lamps for the White House and tile for Rittenhouse Square and the Columbus Circle subway station, from a shop in New Britain, PA.

He apprenticed at the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works in Doylestown, then spent about thirty years running Peace Valley Tile. His first paying commission was a date stone for a bank in Doylestown in 1985. He got busy on word of mouth alone, and he says he never learned to use social media and does not like it. He got deep into glaze chemistry, built a line of crystalline glazes that grow their own crystals as the kiln cools, and reproduced William Fulper's original recipes using modern materials. Opening the kiln, he says, was like Christmas. Sometimes you got coal in your stockings.

🎧 Anthony Pinto hosts Bucks Co Living and works as a top-producing RE/MAX REALTOR® in Newtown with 16+ years as a Realtor, Property Manager, and Relocation Specialist across Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Philadelphia. He knows why a buyer picks one town over the next, and what a house has in it is part of that math. Will knows the other side of it. What 9/11 did to a shop whose work was in New York City, what 2008 forced him to make instead including roof tile and electrical insulators, and the decision he still calls a mistake, which was dropping his production line to chase only the beautiful commissions.

🚀 Tony Napoli has painted murals across Bucks County, and he still wakes up at night wondering if the next one will look like a mess.

He taught art at Pennsbury High School long enough that a generation around here calls him Mr. Nap. The Bristol Stomp mural is his. So is the one in Yardley, and the 35-foot distillery wall where a horse's head wraps around the corner of the building. He had no idea whether that horse would work until he committed to it at full scale, which is the part of the job nobody sees.

🎧 Anthony Pinto hosts Bucks Co Living and works as a top-producing RE/MAX REALTOR® in Newtown with 16+ years across Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Philadelphia. He knows why buyers pick one town over the next, and a hand-painted wall on Main Street is part of that math. Tony knows what it costs to get one up there: committee meetings with town council and the historical society, funding, permission, three tiers of scaffolding, and a dedication date that will not move for weather. He calls it a lot of cooks in the soup.

🎧 Hosted by: Anthony Pinto

👤 Guest: 🎨 Tony Napoli ("Mr. Nap") – Muralist | Oil Painter | Former Pennsbury High School Art Teacher

Anthony Napoli is a Pennsylvania-based visual artist, retired art educator, and the creator of MuralsbyNap, specializing in retro, community-centric public art installations. Leveraging nearly 30 years of teaching experience, he blends classic sign-painting techniques with collaborative design to transform public spaces into vibrant, large-scale murals that celebrate local history and foster community pride.   

💡 What You'll Learn:

✔️ Turn one cold phone call into a finished town mural

✔️ Get council members, historians, and neighbors behind a single design

✔️ Hit a locked dedication date when weather owns your calendar

✔️ Sit with the middle-of-the-night doubt before committing to a 35-foot wall

✔️ See the century of Bucks County art history most residents drive right past

✔️ Keep your own fear from showing up in the work

✔️ Recognize who a mural actually belongs to once it goes up

🎵 Follow Tony's next commission, or send this to whoever keeps saying their town needs a mural.

🚀 Erika paid about $200 a season for travel soccer in New Hampshire. That number does not exist anywhere in Bucks County now, and she says so flatly.

She and Alaina run Falls Soccer Club out of Falls Township Park, a 27-year-old volunteer organization serving more than 600 kids. Erika is president and coaches the 2013 Black team. Alaina is marketing director and had no soccer background at all before her sons started playing. Both hold full-time jobs. Between them they have four boys, and every hour of club work happens around that.

🎧 Anthony Pinto hosts Bucks Co Living and works as a top-producing RE/MAX REALTOR® in Newtown with 16+ years across Bucks County and Montgomery County. He knows what families pay to live in this county. Erika and Alaina know what they pay to keep a kid on the field, and this conversation puts numbers on both. A $250 fall sponsorship. A $500 tournament entry a brand-new team has to solve alone. A Philadelphia Union trainer built into fees at a club that charges less than the ones without one. Plus the sideline habit Erika says pulls a kid out of his own game for minutes at a time.

🎧 Hosted by: Anthony Pinto

👤 Guests: 🏡 Erika Duszny – President, Falls Soccer Club | 2013 Black Travel Coach

🏡 Alaina Davis – Marketing Director, Falls Soccer Club

Erika Duszny is the President of Falls Soccer Club in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, where she provides strategic direction for intramural and travel soccer programs serving over 600 youth players. Partnering with her is Alaina Davis, the club's Marketing Director, who drives community outreach, digital strategy, and business sponsorships. Together, they oversee player development, regional tournaments, and a premier training partnership with the Philadelphia Union youth program.

💡 What You'll Learn:

✔️ Find a club that includes professional training without charging double for it

✔️ Recognize what your own voice from the sideline does to your kid, and quit doing it

✔️ Separate real pressure in youth sports from the reputation travel soccer carries

✔️ Reach 600 Bucks County soccer families with a $250 local sponsorship

✔️ Fund a $500 tournament entry before it lands on a parent's invoice

✔️ Step away from a volunteer role while you still care about it

✔️ Protect your kid from the burnout that early single-sport specialization causes

🎵 Support a local club: sponsor a team, register a kid, or share this with a Bucks County parent.

🚀 Steve Zettler was seven years old, living above his family's inn in 1950s Bucks County, and his parents were too busy running it to raise him.

The staff did instead. Five kitchen help, three waitresses and three bartenders, one of whom spent his day job flipping the switch on the electric chair in Trenton. Steve grew up inside the Washington Crossing Inn back when the stretch between there and New Hope was nothing but farms, and he has now written it down in his memoir Leave the Kid Alone: A Fractured Remembrance.

Anthony Pinto hosts Bucks Co Living and works as a top-producing RE/MAX REALTOR® out of Newtown, PA, with 16+ years as a Realtor, Property Manager and Relocation Specialist. He grew up in restaurants himself, so he knows exactly what Steve means about a family business putting you to work the moment it notices you have opposable thumbs. What comes out is Bucks County community history no listing sheet carries: bourbon poured into teapots to get around Pennsylvania's Sunday drinking ban, three inns in Doylestown, Pipersville and Washington Crossing run by three sisters in one family, and the December 1968 afternoon Steve landed home from Vietnam in uniform and was told to wait his turn.

🎧 Hosted by: Anthony Pinto

👤 Guest: Steve Zettler – Author | Actor | Marine Corps Combat Veteran

Steve Zettler is an American author, professional actor, and Marine Corps combat veteran. He has penned numerous works of fiction, including standalone international thrillers and the bestselling Nero Blanc Mystery Series, co-authored with his wife. Alongside acting credits in television shows like The Wire and Cold Case, his most recent release is the historical memoir, Leave the Kid Alone - A Fractured Remembrance.

💡 What You'll Learn: ✔️ Seeing the Washington Crossing to New Hope corridor as it was before development ✔️ Understanding what a room and board kitchen job meant to veterans of Iwo Jima and Korea ✔️ Recognizing how Pennsylvania's Sunday drinking ban shaped daily life at a Bucks County bar ✔️ Rethinking what counts as a strange childhood when you assumed everyone lived that way ✔️ Building a memoir out of genuine seven-year-old memory rather than research ✔️ Carrying what a Vietnam homecoming actually felt like in December 1968 ✔️ Making peace with turning into your father ✔️ Tracing a book title back to a Broadway actor and Rocky and Bullwinkle

Jess Gebauer trains her staff to send Krysset customers down the street for gelato. Five years on Main Street in Yardley taught her why.

Anthony Pinto hosts Bucks Co Living and works Bucks County as a RE/MAX REALTOR® and relocation specialist, with 20 years in the market and Best of Bucks #1 agent six years running. He also spent part of his early career chasing walk-ins from a Main Street office in Yardley, back when the block was mostly service businesses.

Jess came at that street from behind a counter. She closed a 20-year jewelry career during the pandemic, opened Krysset in 350 square feet, and researched Yardley's retail history before she signed anything. What she found reframed the whole problem: the town hadn't rejected retail, it had forgotten it ever had any. Her conclusion is that a downtown can't survive on one shop, so she trains staff to send people to Pana, FZ Works, and SA Yoga on purpose.

Hosted by: Anthony Pinto Guest: Jess Gebauer
