Here at the Garage Built Podcast, we'll get intense. We're brave enough to talk about the real topics. The hard hitting, crowd-dividing, hot takes don't scare us. Which is why tonight, we're talking about terrible ads. The slop has to stop. I might trademark that line actually...Join me as we tear apart some of the worst ads out currently, show one of the best cars ever made, and take a short trip down memory lane to drink a cold MTN Dew. Enjoy, and send your bad ads to me! Contact me at:- [email protected]

First things first, this episode is late. I could’ve rushed something out just to hit the schedule, but I’d rather give you an episode I’m actually happy with.And honestly, the timing fits, because the last few weeks have been insane.After Hours Episode 2 is a little different. I’m giving you the full update on what’s been happening behind the scenes, including starting my new job at Redo, adjusting to a completely different routine, and everything else that’s been going on lately.I actually recorded this episode once already. Then I sat down to edit it, realized it just didn’t feel right, and scrapped it. So consider this the redemption episode.We’re also trying out a few new segments and talking about some things that don’t really have a home in a normal Garage Built interview. It’s personal, a little all over the place, and exactly what After Hours is supposed to be.I shout out quite a few people in this episode. If you’re one of them, thank you. If I somehow missed you, thank you too. There are a lot of great people helping me build the next chapter, and I’m grateful for all of you.Thanks for watching. Get ready for more.Find/contact me:- [email protected] link.me/garagebuiltpod

Welcome to the first ever Garage Built: After Hours.

This one's a little different. No guest. No formal interview. Just me, late at night, talking about what I've been up to, what I've been thinking about, and a few things I think are worth sharing.

We get into how building Garage Built and networking with entrepreneurs has unexpectedly helped my career and job search, why the connections I've made through this podcast have become one of the best parts of doing it, and what I've learned from consistently putting myself around interesting people.

Then we get into the important stuff.

I pitch a business that probably needs to exist after seeing firsthand how difficult post-death planning can be for a family, which is part of the Brand New Segments of our new After Hours series:

Week in Review.

I'd Buy That...

Car of the Week.

New Brand of the Week.

Put Me On...

After Hours is where Garage Built gets a little more personal. Entrepreneurship, business ideas, cars, brands, networking, life, and whatever else happens to be on my mind that week.

Less interview. More hanging out in the garage... or just my balcony.
