Ryan Rendon and Steven Butcher sit down with Ross Dunagan of Flyin Diesel in Kerrville for a conversation about diesel trucks, entrepreneurship, work ethic, small-town reputation, and building a business that people trust.

Ross shares how working around road construction and tinkering with trucks turned into a full-time diesel shop, what it took to grow Flyin Diesel, and why customer education, diagnostics, systems, reviews, and team culture matter so much. They also talk about technical school, diesel emissions, marketing, Google reviews, moving into a new facility, and why Kerrville is still home.

Leann Rominger Scott joins Texas Hill Country Insider for a conversation on entrepreneurship, fitness, faith, and what made Fredericksburg feel like home. She shares her path from Waco to UT to Austin homebuilding, then explains how years of struggling to find reliable pool builders pushed her to launch Staycation Pools and Outdoors and eventually plant deeper roots in the Hill Country.

Ryan, Steven, and Leann also get into the new Fredericksburg racquet center, how sports shaped her confidence and discipline, the reality of running a construction business, the pressure of social media, the Tactical Games, women’s retreats in Montana and Malibu, and why community, faith, and grit matter so much in this season of her life.

Texas Hill Country Insider welcomes its first guest, Joshua Del Way, for a conversation on faith, family, marriage, moving to Fredericksburg, and what it really looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life. Ryan Rendon and Steven Butcher talk with Joshua about how God led his family to Fredericksburg, how to hear God more clearly in a noisy world, and why so many people are hungry for something real and grounded in relationship instead of religion.

Joshua also shares practical wisdom on marriage, family leadership, communication, grace, and why couples have to stay intentional if they want a healthy home.
