In this episode I'm sharing some of the tips and tricks I've learned over the last couple of years in Las Vegas.  We own a private security company based in Phoenix, AZ and travel to Vegas often for work and sometimes just to get away for a couple of days.  The first time I was there was about 2 years ago and I've learned a lot about navigating the strip, saving money (because it's definitely NOT cheap), and a lot of fun things to do without breaking the bank.  I'm by no means an expert, just sharing my somewhat newbie perspective on how to go, and have fun in a place that can be overwhelming and overstimulating.  

Please leave a comment if you have questions, feedback, share your own experiences!   Also, share with a friend who's preparing for a trip to Vegas soon!

This was such a great conversation with Bonnie Pyles from Wild West Air and Heating.  She shared with me about their business philosophies in a world where people are so quick to compromise their integrity to make a dollar.  We also talked about their new nonprofit program that they started to help certify and teach kids who have aged out of the foster system to help give them a great start to life with hands on training that may not be available to them otherwise.
Please visit their websites for more information or to make a donation to help a few kids get some education -

On this episode I'm talking to Chuck Roberts who was my best friend all through high school. We were recently talking and he mentioned some of the horrible things he went through as a kid before being adopted at the age of 15. I never knew his story and he was willing to share with everyone how he survived all of that trauma. 

Sometimes being from a small town, we feel like everyone knows our story, and that's just not true. Listen as we have some revelations about life and what we thought we knew.

Check out our YouTube Channel for the full hour of our conversation, we talked a lot about our lives after high school, and how we wound up where we are now.

On this episode I am talking to Heather Rodriguez of Sourdough Mafia Co.  She talks about her love of business, and how she's helping people learn the art of baking sourdough bread with her virtual classes. 

I love that you can go at your own pace, and there's also a growing community and ongoing support for the questions and techniques that you can learn as you get more seasoned in baking.  I've personally learned that working with sourdough starter is a little different than regular cooking and baking, and while it can be a bit challenging at times, the reward is some great tasting homemade food!
