This week we travelled to Minneapolis to meet with a lady of many faces. Midnight Mary has been a personal friend of mine for years, so I was really excited to finally have her on as a guest. I knew she was good at cosplay, but over 300k tiktok followers good? I guess I didn’t realize how amazing my friend was this whole time.

This week our guest drove from his studio in Minneapolis to my home to discuss the flavors of life. Drew Kinkade was going to college for architecture before dropping out to pursue his brand Flavorworld full time. I tell people often that in order to build a business you have to make sacrifices and go all in. Drew is a prime example of this. With just a mattress in the corner of his warehouse printing/art studio, he has fully immersed himself in art and business. Be ready, Flavorworld is gunna blow up.

This week we travelled to Los Angeles to meet up with a master of his craft. Cameron Davis has been in the Photography game for a long time. He started at the bottom like most of us. He worked at Wendy's to earn enough money to buy his first beat up car, but through consistent hard work over the years he's become a very respected individual in his industry earning a bit more comfortable of a living. Cameron is an incredibly intelligent and well spoken individual with a ton of useful knowledge to share. We could all learn more than one thing from this one.

This week we travelled to Los Angeles to link up with a rising star in the art world. Isaac Pelayo is a bit of an art prodigy that is just now really hitting his stride and gaining notoriety. Isaac is most notably known for his oil paintings, in which Diddy is a collector, but also has made significant moves in tattooing, modeling, and rapping. At only 24, you can expect big things from this man in the coming years. Oh yeah, he's also super down to earth and a real homie.

This week we traveled to Estero Florida to visit the home of a world renown illusionist. Wayne Hoffman has been featured on Ellen Degeneres and just about every major television network throughout his career. He grew up learning magic and performing for small parties before attending college to learn Psychology. With what he learned about the brain, he was able to combine magic and psychology to become what he calls a Mentalist. For more than a decade he has been performing and traveling all over the world. His stories are unbelievable.

This week we took an Uber to downtown Hollywood to sit on a rooftop with a very accomplished man in the entertainment industry. Scott Lipps has a life story that could easily be turned into a movie. Scott is the owner of Lipps Agency, which represents names like Cardi B, Doja Cat, Da Baby, David Guetta, and more. He has his own talk show "Lipps Service" with guests like Randy Jackson and Tommy Hilfiger. Oh yeah, he also performs with Courtney Love as her tour drummer. Like I said, his story could be a movie.

This week we travelled to Los Angeles to hang out with a pretty incredible human. Louis Carreon welcomed us into his studio and shared some stories from his life. From growing up chasing The Grateful Dead around the country, to serving time in prison, to becoming a celebrated artist in L.A., Louis has been on a wild journey. Everyone has a different path. You're going to want to hear this one.

This week we drove out to Minneapolis to chat with a real up and comer. Leighton Heegaard is a singer/model/actor that is living and working out in Los Angeles, but grew up in Minneapolis. We were lucky enough to catch her while she was back home visiting family for the holidays.

This week we hung out with another new business owner in downtown Eau Claire. Meredith Kervin Blankenheim recently took ownership of Forage EC. Since then, the business has changed drastically. Taking advantage of the time we all had to shut down, she moved Forage EC to a new location downtown and made some big moves and changes for the business. When things go back to "normal", you can expect to find me down there pretty often...

This week we travelled to Minneapolis Minnesota to sit with pro snowboarder Joe Sexton. Joe has been in the game for years, but more recently started his own snowboard brand with some friends. Public snowboards are now sold all over the world and Joe has been doing his best to keep up. He's learned a lot about business in the meantime.
