I share what a major earthquake feels like from the inside, connecting Colombia’s 7.4 quake to the 7.7 quake I lived through as an eight-year-old in El Salvador. I walk through the emotional timeline from the first shake to peak terror, aftershocks, and the long recovery that follows.

• the first seconds of an earthquake and how your brain decides what’s happening
• getting outside fast, avoiding walls, and why movement becomes difficult at peak shaking

• practical earthquake safety tips for travelers and anyone in multi-story buildings
• faith, prayer, and mental strain during disasters and hard family seasons

We share a raw 10-year timeline of my chronic health issues, from the first night of tachycardia to surgeries, setbacks, and the daily reality of managing symptoms that never fully leave.

A trip you take for healing can turn into the exact kind of stress your body can’t afford. After a month away from the mic, I’m back to explain why I disappeared, what happened during my 12 days in El Salvador, and how chronic acid reflux and breathing issues from chronic sinusitis shaped every part of the experience. I also get honest about health anxiety, the whiplash of building up hope, and what it feels like when the plan you counted on simply does not work.

Things took an even sharper turn when I got hit with traveler’s diarrhea (Montezuma’s Revenge) and had to manage nausea, dehydration risk, and a total gut reset far from home. Once I’m back in the U.S., I walk through the practical steps I take to recover: urgent care, antibiotics, probiotics, and returning to lighter meals while my GI system stabilizes. Underneath all of it is the mental side, fatigue, loneliness, and the faith questions that show up when your body keeps testing you.

From there we pivot into what I’m building next: World Cup content in Atlanta (including fan interviews), Call of Duty League plans, and more sports events that help me stay excited about life. Then we go full space nerd with Artemis 2, the moon, and a simple explanation of why rockets don’t launch in a straight line. I also share a personal story I still feel in my chest: getting hired by NASA, turning it down because I didn’t feel peace, and the career twist that followed.

Start with gratitude, end with keys in hand. We reconnect with a longtime friend whose journey from football fields to finance taught him how to turn motivation into discipline and discipline into deals. It’s a fast-paced, grounded walkthrough of today’s housing market, cut with faith, humor, and straight answers you won’t get from a rate-only sales pitch.

We dig into the core problems buyers face right now: home values that ran ahead of wages, debt loads that sink approvals, and confusion over whether a 50-year mortgage is a lifeline or a leash. Our guest, a mortgage broker across residential and commercial, shows how to read the moment. He breaks down why affordability—more than interest rates—drives outcomes, how seller concessions can save you thousands, and why a $500 car note can quietly erase the home you want. He also demystifies FHA thresholds, the gap between down payments and closing costs, and what it takes to win in a true buyer’s market.

Entrepreneurs and creators get a clear playbook. If you write off most of your income, traditional underwriting may shut the door. Bank-statement and asset-depletion loans can reopen it—at a price. We look at when to reduce deductions to qualify, when to keep them and bring a bigger down payment, and how to document deposits so lenders actually count them. Then we cross into commercial lending—DSCR basics, portfolio loans for bundling rentals, and why experience on your team moves approvals. The bigger business lesson: if your company stalls when you pause, you own a job, not a business. Build systems, add partners wisely, and scale without losing your values.

There’s heart here too. The name Kadash points to “a new thing,” and you can feel it in the way he serves: fast closings without chaos, clear coaching over pressure, and a steady reminder that you can choose joy without ignoring the math.
