Jarod and I talk about his upcoming video project. We talk about him eating burritos in front of Adam22 and how he requested to sleep next to train tracks. Check out the video here and make sure to subscribe to the channel!

Today, I'm breaking down the potential candidates for the GOAT TV Show. I give some background, talk about why certain shows can't be the best and then give you my pick as the winner along with the top 4. This topic sparks a lot of debate. If you think I'm an idiot, let me know. Tell me what I missed. Tell me why my pick was spot on! Bring it on!

I have admired Michael for awhile. He makes incredibly engaging content and is humble and self deprecating, a rarity in the marketing space. He openly shares how he continues to help his clients improve their engagement and make better content. Spoiler alert, it's not to get a certain type of camera. I learned a lot about how to make better content from our conversation and I hope it helps you too. If you are interested in making better content, this is a must listen.

Jacob is an old friend and currently works for the Salem Area Chamber of Commerce. He has been helping people improve their leadership skills for nearly a decade. He also has built a 20K plus Twitter following organically. He is a thoughtful and skilled communicator. We breakdown some of his thoughts on leadership and how he grew his social media presence. I learn a lot every time he is on. You can find him on Twitter @mrjacobespi. On his Twitter, you can find links to his newsletter and his upcoming leadership online course.

Today's guest is the senior pastor at Creekside Bible Church. We have been friends for probably 20 years, but haven't talked in a long time. We reminisce, talk about his experience leading a church, and discuss the merits of Cobra Kai. We had a fun time and even if you're not into religious content, I think you'll like this episode just because Chad is a great guy! We did have some trouble with the internet so a few sections are choppy Sorry, I did my best to edit it out. He also has a new podcast out called, Testimony, where he talks to people about their story of how they became a Christian. It is available on all major platforms. His first guest is Grayson Boucher, aka The Professor, who has dodged my podcast for the time being. His second guest, episode just posted, is Jacob Espinoza, who was cool enough to be on this pod as well (Ep 49 if you want to check it out) You can follow Chad on Instagram and again you can find his new podcast on Spotify, Apple Pods etc. Thank you again! Hope you're having an amazing week!

Brendon comes back on the pod to talk about Covid in sports, why he thinks the Professor sucks at hoops and can't name one thing Betty White is in, but claims she's a legend. We also talk Yellowstone and Cobra Kai. We were all over the place, and I couldn't have had more fun! Thank you as always for supporting, listening, sharing and all that!

Over the past 3 years, Colten has become one of my closest friends. This last year, he really got focused on his health and has made huge strides. We talk about that and get into the specifics of his routine. We also talk goals, TV shows, and a bunch of other stuff. We had a good time and I played too much with my new sound effects that I figured out. Anyway, thanks as always for listening! You guys rock!

The podcast is really getting a glow up. We are official now. I had a chance to talk with Casey Kulla, who is running for governor in the state of Oregon. And, I pulled no punches. We talked about the homeless crisis, the violence in Portland, the issues with police, and more. I appreciated him taking the time to have a discussion with me. You can find more info about Casey on his Instagram @caseykulla or at his website: https://www.kullafororegon.com/

Jake and I get caught up and talk about his recent experience competing in a half Ironman in Salem, Oregon. Jake is a CPA and certified badass. We talk about his training, his time running with Nat Borchers (who he didn't know at the time), and even his Lil Eddie days. If you want to know more about him, you can check him out on IG @jakefohn. Thanks as always for listening! This is good one!
