What does it really mean to be the best?

Is it social media likes? Awards? Sold-out shows?
Or is it something quieter… becoming the best version of yourself?

We sat down with Mike Schulte of The Pork Tornadoes and host of the Confused Breakfast Podcast to talk about the difference between external success and internal growth. From packed venues to personal fulfillment, Mike shares what “being the best” has come to mean in his own journey, and why the real scoreboard might not be the one we see online.

If you’ve ever measured yourself against a scoreboard the world created, this conversation is for you.

We’d love to hear from you 👇

Depression in men often goes unnoticed,even by the men experiencing it.
In this episode, our friend Mike Owens unpacks the impact of childhood trauma, fatherhood, losing friends, and the pressure to “man up.” Through honest reflection and vulnerability, he shares the internal battles that rarely get spoken out loud, and re-frames what “manning up” can truly mean. This is a hopeful, human conversation about growth, connection, and finding strength in sharing your story.

I mean who wouldn't want to spend the night before Christmas with good ole St. Nic Cage

All things Christmas! Join us on the deck for our Christmas Episode. We talk movies, music, traditions, memories, trying to not stress out during the season... and at the end you'll all receive a special poem treat!

We sat down and unpacked how something as simple as an old photo can hit like a wave. It makes sense that looking at old photos of your ex stirs up a lot. Those images aren’t just pictures, they’re capsules of memory, emotion, and versions of ourselves we don’t always recognize anymore. They remind us of who we were, what we felt, and sometimes, what we’ve lost. So let’s talk about that mix of sadness, anger, nostalgia, and everything in between.

This week we are joined by our friend Naomi to talk about her incredible new song "Way Too High For This" and to recap our epic summer camping trip- the music, the laughs, the moments, and the memories that made it unforgettable.

We sat down with Brain Marshall, the energetic morning DJ from Rock 108, to learn more about the man behind the mic.

Brain opened up about his early life, sharing stories from his childhood that helped shape his personality and passion for music. That passion eventually turned into a dream — and with persistence and a love for the industry, he turned that dream into a reality.

Whether you're a longtime listener or just tuning in, Brain’s story is a reminder that passion and perseverance can turn a childhood interest into a lifelong career.

Meet the Mamas Behind Odd Mamas Vintage Café

We sat down with local business owner Sierra and her general manager Hannah to talk all things vintage and new.

Sierra opened Odd Mamas Vintage Store two years ago, and now shes expanding into a brand-new venture: Odd Mamas Vintage Cafe, turning her love of odd vintage finds and community vibes into a one of-a-kind shopping and dining experience.

Together, Sierra and Hannah are more than business partners. They’re fearless entrepreneurs and mamas to their own little tribes, juggling motherhood and business ownership with authenticity, humor, and hustle.

We switched things up and hit the mic on the Whiskey and Real Estate podcast. We thought we were just talking real estate... then they handed us whiskey!

We talked shop, shared stories, and maybe got a little too comfortable with the whiskey

Big thanks to the Whiskey and Real Estate crew for having us on!
