PILLARS PODCAST 🎙

Sarah is the sweetest, and with a real sweet brain for architectual design.  After years of studying and experience, Sarah started her own thing in 2018 -- SARAH HAYES ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN.

We talk about this along with a lot of other life things that has helped Sarah realized her soul and live it on 🔥 with an awesome husband (who was a carpool mate of mine at Mater Dei when we were in those khakis and striped ties), four precocious and caring children, and a company that is called work that is her passion -- so it is not work, and merely a reflection of who Sarah is -- beautiful inside and out.

Thanks, Sarah!

Trevor Goss has been a great friend of mine for much of my life dating back to a fateful day on the 8th grade gridiron (we'll leave that story for another day).  We went to Georgetown Prep together and he went to Cornell and then out to Silicon Valley to pursue a serious passion -- tech. start-ups.  Trevor journeyed, sloughed, and innovated in San Francisco for over a decade and all the while conceiving his latest baby: HQ: the world's first smart journal -- "Journals give you a space for writing. A smart journal gives you a space for everything."

I hope you enjoy our conversation -- it sure got me thinking about how to optimize life.  Check out Trevor's slick website he built from scratch:

Trey Kraus is the owner that does it all at Carlton’s classic haberdashery in Rehoboth.  Trey has held that role for 17 years and it could not have been more ever-present in 2008 when all the markets crashed and now with the mess that COVID has dumped on most all small businesses.  Trey soldiers on and leads from the front.  His once office in the back is now in the middle of the floor — he is the field general, the Alexander, who is doing it all and leading by example.

BUT what is more than Trey’s keen eye for fashion and his unassuming charm, is his heart that beats for the brain of children.  Trey is very passioned about the mental health of children these days and always.  As Mr. Kraus directs operations on Rehoboth’s iconic strip, like Patton directing tanks, Trey’s eyes are set on something perhaps closer to his heart that lies in his next chapter. Ya know?!

Thanks, Trey, you are an inspiration.

Matt Markoff is a man who does not need any introduction -- unless he is wearing a wig -- and still needs does not need an introduction -- but without a wig -- well, we'll leave that up to you.  I give you Matt Markoff of the MARKOFF'S HAUNTED FOREST fame, and truly all-around one of the best guys I know, and that is kinda why CALLEVA and THE HAUNT crush it all day, all night, all day!!!

John and I have been friends since college where we played lacrosse with Jimmy Regan.  John climbed 9 14'ers in the Denver area in 11 days leading up to 9/11 -- all the while raising north of $20,000 for the Army Ranger Lead The Way Fund.  Great job, J-Dubs!!!

Joe Cool, I mean Joe Cole, has been an acquaintance for decades and now I call Joe a friend.  Joe together with his boy, Matt, call themselves Island Boys Enterprise LLC and they created MOTAMEET, the premier app to find people who are into the same things you are into.  I like to call it the Plutonic match-maker, but in the words of the best (Joe and Matt): 

Pick your passion.  Find your people. MOTAMEET

On the eve of the cup, on the morning of the opening ceremonies -- Brian and I continue our conversation about the Ryder Cup and angle toward Europe and lead with the European Anthem -- which is the Ode To Joy of Beethoven's 9th, which is straight JOY.  I hope you enjoy part deux!!

Brian is a life-long friend of mine -- great golfer; better guy; best dad and hubby!!!  Brian was the youngest Salt Pond CC champion at the age of 15 (1999) and won the Kings Creek CC championship in 2003.  Brian played on the Hooters tour, was Rush Limbaugh's favorite caddie at Everglades club of Florida and his favorite movie is Dumb and Dumber (yeah -- that's in the podcast too!!).  We had a ball on Wednesday morning talking Ryder Cup.  

This episode is mostly dedicated to America.  Tomorrow's will be Europe . . . and then there's Saturday's . . . stay tuned!!!

Shawn  Rene is FIT FOR LIFE!!!  SR is a Delaware (I mean Diamond State native) and works everyday to truly be her best self so that she can MAKE PEOPLE BETTER.  There are no if's, and's, or but's about it -- she lives the life that she wants others to live -- in other words SR leads be example and is the role model to all those who she trains.  

It is not just about 6-pack abs or brazen biceps or thor-like thighs (but they ain't bad) -- it is about the whole person -- nutrition, emotion, your people, training hard and smart, brain health, recreation, family, God -- SR has helped so many in the Diamond State to get to that state of zen-equilibrium-euphoria.  And we talk about this.  SR is a breath of fresh air on the best day of the week -- SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!!
