In today's episode we are so excited to be sitting down with Dr. Zoe Munie! Zoe completed all of her education here at SLU and like us, we share a common trait of dealing with the nagging injuries and maintenance of martial arts. Having done tae kwon do, bjj herself - knowing there's someone out there who specializes in something so relatable is exactly what the show is about. Tap in as we talk about how she started in this industry, some of her success stories, how AI is changing the landscape of all physical tasks like her own as well as personal training, and some of the misconceptions that come with being young as an athlete and how to preserve our bodies for the long haul!

Today we are pleased to bring you the one and only Becky Neale! Becky is a mom of four who was classically schooled in math and English who took the sum of her experiences and is on a quest to change the way young men are educated through her upcoming Kirkwood School for Boys! As everyone who works on this show is a product of public education, it's refreshing to hear from someone who understands that the best results are driven from individualized attention instead of appealing to some broad standard set by the state. Join us as we discuss he upbringing, her time in martial arts, how she raised four great young men, and how she intends to make local education here in the St. Louis (Kirkwood area) better for our youth!

In today's episode we are so excited to sit down with Tracy Rumpf and talk all about her mission with Second Chance Ranch! Missouri happens to be the biggest state in the US when it comes to the amount of puppy mills we have. And adding to this, many of the rescue clinics around the country are utilizing euthanasia to necessitate the volume of dogs coming in through their doors. Tracy has done her part to offer these dogs an alternative as best as she can through her own organization in Second Chance Ranch as well as aiding and collaborating with others like Dogs For Our Brave. We here at The Zach and Pat Show are huge animal people, many of us pet owners ourselves so this episode hit home for many reasons. Below, you can find links to support her cause and do our part to offer homes to man's best friend.

Today we are pleased to bring you our good friend Chaz Johnson! Chaz is a bjj black belt, coach, and husband/father. Having had an interest in martial arts early on in life, Chaz was able to pool his more negative emotions into the discipline specifically of bjj. Eventually, this had him looking at his corporate job and feeling unfulfilled. He would leave that job, DoorDash, and build/maintain websites all in the pursuit of giving his family an intense example of what building you dream life looks like when you do what you're passionate about.

Please join us in a super special welcome back to The Zach and Pat Show to Connor Silverstein! Connor was actually the first person we ever interviewed as a guest all the way back when we were shooting the show in Zach's spare bedroom lighting the room with lamps and a window. As sure as the show has come a long way, so has Connor. Since we last had him on, Connor has found himself in love and on the way to being married, dived deeper into his faith commenting that bible study with Matt Joe has helped him discover more about life and how to live it, and even gotten his brown belt in bjj through TAC Team's own Revive BJJ!

We're excited not only to have Connor back on because he's got great insights, but to see his growth and transformation into the man he is two years later is exactly why we do this show in the first place!

In today's episode we have a really sweet treat for you as we are joined by Tamara Keefe, the owner and operator of Clementine's Naughty and Nice Ice Cream which has become a HUGE staple in our local area. Having grown up in California, Tamara was notes that she's always had a huge love for ice cream and that when budgets were tight - her family would actually make their own. This became somewhat of a communal event as huge family dinners would see all members of their local area popping in and out to enjoy times with good desserts and better people. After establishing herself as a professional, she decided on a whim to leave her salaried career and cash out her 401k and open her own ice cream establishment right here in STL! Now with ten locations and lots of expansion on the way, Tamara's story inspires us not only as St. Louis natives but as business owners - serving as a reminder that great businesses don't just make money - they change lives!

In today's episode we'd like to say thank you to Steve Geurin for saving the day and filling this time for us in this episode while we were remote in Nashville! Steve's story is very relatable, as it takes place with a kid trying to find himself in martial arts. Having done karate with a firm love for striking, he would eventually do an extended stay out in Thailand for a few months to practice Mauy Thai and kickboxing with the locals. This set him up to go full on into his love for the medical field where he still operates today to provide for his wife and kids. Full of faith and a strong heart for leading his family, we were BLESSED to sit down with Steve!
