Oops I Missed Church

This conversation was recorded on May 4th, 2025. I met Derek at church and he has already become a dear friend. He is a research engineer and he moved to San Antonio from England.

He was able to join us for an Easter lunch and I really admire his willingness to make new friends and find community. I'm so grateful we had a chance to have a conversation!

Enjoy!

This conversation was recorded on April 16h, 2025 and aired on KMZN radio on April 20th, Easter Sunday. Isaac is a new friend I've had the privilege of hosting a few times while he's been in San Antonio. I met Isaac through his soon to be wife, Anna, who I met through church.

Isaac is an animator and a believer in Jesus and I had such delightful time getting to know him and sitting down for a conversation. He carries gentleness and wisdom and I'm so honored I was able to meet him and host him.

Happy Easter!

This conversation was recorded in Oskaloosa, Iowa on November 26th, 2024. I've known Nick for a few years now and I'm so grateful we had the opportunity to sit down for a conversation.

From thatnickryan.com:

"Nick Ryan is the voice of modern country grit and timeless storytelling. Hailing from the heartland of Iowa, Nick’s music channels raw emotion, unshakable resilience, and the kind of soul that connects instantly with his listeners.

With influences rooted in '90s country, outlaw legends, and the unfiltered spirit of America’s backroads, Nick brings a fresh take to the genre. His original ballads like "Drink A Memory Down" tug at the heartstrings, while his electrifying covers, including a powerful rendition of Tom Petty's "Won’t Back Down," highlight his fierce independence and fearless dedication to justice and freedom.

Nick's songs resonate with middle-class dreamers and freedom seekers, weaving stories of love, loss, and fighting for what’s right. Whether performing solo with his guitar or fronting his band on tour, Nick Ryan is the kind of artist who leaves it all on the stage—every time.

With two new singles set to make waves and a growing reputation as a rising star in the country music world, Nick Ryan is carving out his own path, one powerful performance at a time.

Stream his music, follow his journey, and join the movement—because Nick Ryan is here to stay."

This conversation was recorded on August 8th, 2024. I met Chase at his most recent birthday party and he is a jovial and life-giving lawyer, as well as a pinball enthusiast. We had a lovely time sharing stories and experiences and I was inspired by his desire to learn.

Here is his official work bio:

Chase Hardy is a Texan through and through.

Chase understands that a journey through our judicial system can be intimidating. The fear of the unknown can creep into every crevice of a person’s life. This is why Chase has dedicated his life to understanding the intricate and nuanced workings of our judicial system. A continual thirst for knowledge and years of traditional schooling has crafted Chase into a truly zealous advocate for everyone he represents. He believes deeply in the wisdom of the jury and is proud to take a case to verdict.

A San Antonio Native, Chase began his primary education in the community of Castle Hills. He studied Finance at Baylor University in Waco, Texas where he was heavily involved in student life. Chase stayed in Waco for his legal studies and attended Baylor University School of Law. Chase contributed to the law school’s advocacy programs by competing on multiple Mock Trial and Moot Court teams in competitions across the nation.

As a law student, Chase spent his summers clerking for two prominent San Antonio Plaintiff’s and Defense firms and had the honor of working with Justice Patricia O Alvarez of the Fourth Court of Appeals. After receiving his provisional license Chase began practicing law at the age of 23. By the time he turned 25 Chase had successfully first-chaired a civil trial to verdict. Chase was hired as an Associate Attorney with GRIFFIN PURNELL LLC in 2021.

While outside of the courtroom, Chase enjoys working on his family ranch in Boerne, Texas.
