Day 12 of the 12 Days of Podsmas — and the final episode of this year’s series — is a personal, reflective close to an incredible run. In this episode, I take a step back and share my perspective on the year, the lessons learned, the growth, the challenges, and the moments that shaped me.

I talk about what I want to focus on next year, the ideas I want to build, the risks I’m ready to take, and the energy I’m bringing into 2026. I also share my holiday plans for the final stretch leading up to Christmas Day — family time, reflection, rest, and the moments that matter most.

This episode is about gratitude, perspective, intention, and closing out the season grounded and thankful. If you’ve been rocking with Podsmas from Day 1, thank you. This series exists because of the community, the guests, and everyone who tunes in and supports the Unrestricted movement.

Day 11 of the 12 Days of Podsmas brings the homies Jos and Jos Beefy from the Beanzzz & Rice Show into the studio for a creative, funny, and culture-filled episode.

We dive into everything they’ve been making lately — from clothing to ceramics, paintings, and even the holiday favorite Coquito that they’ve been perfecting. The Beanzzz & Rice crew stays creating, and this episode highlights their process, their ideas, and why they love doing what they do.

We also chop it up about the Utah music scene, the shifts we’ve seen in local culture, artists on the rise, and what’s inspiring us heading into 2026. Along the way, we get holiday stories, laughs, and a lot of real talk about building, grinding, and sharing your gifts.

Day 10 of the 12 Days of Podsmas shines a spotlight on community, generosity, and Utah pride. We talk about the Smith Entertainment Group’s “Pay It Forward” initiative, an incredible movement aimed at uplifting Utah residents during the holidays and beyond. With support from the Utah Jazz and the brand-new Utah Mammoth NHL team, SEG is helping families, boosting local causes, and bringing real holiday spirit to the state.

We break down how these efforts impact our community, why they matter, and how sports organizations can lead the way in creating meaningful change.

We also get into 2025 Christmas stocking gift ideas, from classics to unique finds, from trendy tech to budget-friendly surprises — plus a few Dre-approved picks that always hit.

Along with more holiday conversation, fun tangents, and Podsmas vibes, this episode blends local pride with seasonal cheer.

Day 9 of the 12 Days of Podsmas is packed with holiday stories, community highlights, and seasonal conversations. We kick things off talking about The Merchants of Joy, a brand-new Prime Video Original Christmas movie, and how it fits into this year’s lineup of festive films.

We also get into Christmas scams — the red flags to watch out for, the new tricks that pop up every season, and how to protect yourself and your loved ones during the holidays.

Then we spotlight a beautiful local story: Rachel Hess from Brigham City, who is collecting Christmas gifts for senior citizens in her community. We talk about why this matters, how these acts of kindness impact lives, and ways people can support similar efforts in their own neighborhoods.
To round it out, we dive into the iconic Grand America Hotel holiday events — their decorations, traditions, displays, and why it continues to be one of Utah’s top Christmas destinations.

A fun, heartfelt, and seasonal episode with a mix of news, joy, and holiday awareness.

Day 8 of the 12 Days of Podsmas is all about community, compassion, and the power of giving back. In this episode, we talk about the upcoming Road Home Mediathon and highlight the incredible work the Road Home organization does for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Utah.

We discuss the importance of shelters, outreach programs, community support, and the life-changing impact this organization has — especially during the winter and holiday season. From providing safety and warmth to helping people transition into stable housing, The Road Home continues to be a vital part of our community.

We also get into why giving back matters, how small actions make big differences, and how we can all contribute in meaningful ways. Plus, a few personal reflections and holiday thoughts along the way.

Day 6 of the 12 Days of Podsmas dives straight into culture, trends, and the big shift we’re seeing in 2025. I talk about the Beta Generation — the young kids setting the tone for what’s cool again. From fashion to music to how they use technology, they’re swinging the pendulum in a whole new direction… and honestly, it’s refreshing.

We get into the whole idea of dumb phones making a comeback — why kids and even adults are choosing simplicity over constant notifications, and what that means for the future of culture and mental health.

I also break down what’s hot on the 2025 Christmas list, the gadgets, toys, sneakers, and trends people are going crazy for this year. And of course, a lot more thoughts on where the culture is heading and how fast everything moves.

A fun, reflective, trend-heavy episode for the Podsmas season.

Day 5 of the 12 Days of Podsmas is another solo episode — just me kicking it with the listeners and sharing what’s been going on.

I talk about my excitement for the FINAL installment of Stranger Things, dropping on Christmas Day, and what this show has meant over the years. I get into my family Christmas party — the love, laughs, kids running around, good food, good energy, and the type of conversations that remind you what the holidays are really about.

We also get into Christmas tree lots… the vibe, the nostalgia, the smell of pine, the families picking out trees, and why it all hits different this time of year. Plus a little bit more of what’s been on my mind this holiday season.
A cozy, fun, real Podsmas check-in.

Day 4 of the 12 Days of Podsmas is a special solo episode — just me and you. No guest, no interruptions, just real talk.

This morning I stopped by my friend Sean’s shop, Boogie Down Barbershop, and the visit hit me in a way I didn’t expect. Seeing someone you grew up with own a business, create a space for community, and take risks on himself… it’s motivating. It’s inspiring. It’s a reminder of what’s possible when you bet on your own name and your own vision.

In this episode, I talk about:
• The energy and culture inside Boogie Down Barbershop
• How Sean inspires me as a creator, father, and entrepreneur
• Why ownership matters
• Taking risks on yourself
• Creating something meaningful for your community
• Believing in your talent even when it feels scary

Podsmas isn’t just about Christmas — it’s about people, growth, connection, and purpose. And today’s reflection lands right there.
