Hi humans,

In this episode, I spoke with Andrew Friedberg, the Mayor of Bellaire, TX.

I talked with Andrew about his start in local politics and his path to becoming mayor. We discuss how his current role as a lawyer both helps and hurts his work as mayor.

Andrew and I touch on a number of topics, such as the current sidewalk issue in Bellaire, voting, finding objective information, as well as social media and politics.

Hi humans,

In this episode, I speak with Patrick Terry, the founder of Austin's classic P. Terry's Burger Stand. 

In our conversation, Patrick discusses his early inspiration for the business with Mack Eplen's Drivateria in Abilene, Texas, his experience in the restaurant industry before P. Terry's, the business' early struggles, and their current expansion. 
He shares the story of opening the first P. Terry's location, the importance of the Austin community in his company's success, and advice for those who want to succeed with their own restaurants.

I hope you enjoy!

Hello humans,

My next guest that I speak with is writer Matthew Kic. In 2019, Matthew and his writing partner Mike Sorce had their feature, The Second Life of Ben Haskins, picked up by Netflix. The two also have two features set up with production companies and are currently writing the first installment in a new comic franchise film.

I talked with Matthew about his journey from aspiring, struggling writer to what he is doing now. We talk about the challenges of adapting from book/screenplay to film/TV, as well as the best and worst advice that he's received. I hope you enjoy!
