Episode 19 - RAD pROBcast - Matt, CEO & Founder of Tahoe Blue Vodka

Matt, the CEO, and founder of Tahoe Blue Vodka joins me to discuss his decade-long journey to turn his vision into a reality of bottling the beauty and spirit of Lake Tahoe into the smoothest vodka in the world. Along the way, we discuss shoes that my wife hates, Matt’s journey from Maryland to California while living in a van and having no real plan other than “making it work,” and some of his various invention ideas that never came to be, including the illuminated frisbee. As with most successful people, Matt talks about pushing aside his fears, the terrifying notion of living off of savings to build an idea, and how ten years later, Tahoe Blue Vodka is still his obsession.

My wife Christina joins me once again along with our friends Al and Danielle as we navigate the challenges of getting multiple couples together for Thanksgiving in a neutral location. Who gets what room? What do we serve? Who’s making breakfast and when? From there we dive into toxic masculinity, how Christina almost got into a fight at Aftershock, why you’ll see Al on TV this winter, and Maestro the German Shepherd is nice enough to interrupt and disrupt towards the end as well.

Shelby Elias from FinancewithShelby.com joins me in one of the most inspiring, motivating, and brutally honest pROBcasts yet. We discuss the secrets and keys to both of our successful lives, (personal and professional), and talk about the importance of relationships as it relates to success. We explore the things that hold people back from their dreams and the ways people can, right now, begin working towards them. Along the way, we learn about Shelby’s childhood, why he doesn’t have a refrigerator, why he posts pictures of his jet, the role his faith plays in his life, and there’s even an emotional moment when he opens up about how his phone gets in the way of his life at times. Shelby even turns us on to two easy, do-it-right-now ideas that could catapult people towards financial success.

By popular demand, my wife Christina joins me and reflects on her year of deployment in Afghanistan and how she views the events of the past few weeks. Was her service, and the sacrifices of others worth it? She also shares some stories of her time there including the moment a detainee she was interrogating got his hands on her. There are some fun moments, too, like when we demonstrate how our sofa attacked my hand and when she attempts to explain why our drinking glasses suddenly no longer fit in our cup holders.

Producer Brandon and I pick up where we left off on his most recent Prodcast and tease Brineapalooza 2021 from the jump. From there, we explore millennial anxiety, Brando’s evolving view on family, and what it’s like to manage people. Somehow the issue of what an amazing leader and generous boss I am is touched on, and we get Brandon to tell his “the angriest I’ve ever seen Rob,” story.

It’s the second in our series “Money Buys Happierness,” and by popular demand we begin with the long form answer as to why I prefer leasing over buying vehicles, including the rare exceptions to the rule. From there, we discuss Investments that aren’t actually investments, but people often claim they are. Most notably, morons who say that putting in a pool will “greatly increase the value of the home when we go to sell it,” a total fallacy. We talk about the difference between spending our money on things we enjoy, versus actually investing, and why the two of them almost never match up (which is ok). Boats, pools, and collectibles, are all fun to someone, but almost none of us knows someone who is independently wealthy from selling off their Beanie Babies.

My wife Christina and our friend Danielle (a maggot and former cardboard cutout) discuss the etiquette of sending unsolicited naked photos of yourself, how far we’d all go for our spouses, the trappings of being “too white,” and why it’s not a compliment to say “you’re pretty for a black girl.”

Eddie Ford from Nor Cal Gun Vault joins me for a deep dive into gun rights, “reasonable” gun control, and the worst of the worst on both sides of the gun debate in America. Along the way, we discuss the ramifications of taking a human life, the rising crime rate in America, and how things have changed in society as a result of Covid. Come to think of it, we pretty much solve all of the world’s problems, including race relations, raising children, and how to avoid being a victim. We also delve into Eddie’s 20-year naval career, being raised by a father in law enforcement, and growing up in Stockton, California and how much it’s changed.

In this episode, by popular demand, we explore the notion that money buys happier-ness…if you’re spending your mental energy worrying about how to pay rent, feed your family, and stay away from debt collectors, you aren’t living…and you certainly aren’t content. Money doesn’t make people happy, but it makes every aspect of life easier, and opens you up to happiness. We discuss how any of us, no matter where we are financially, can pursue financial wellness to whatever level we want and we go over specific action plans for people drowning in debt, those simply looking to maintain their lifestyles, and anyone wanting to find the next big thing financially.
