In Episode 64, Jake sits down with childhood friends Nate Murray and Cody Pfister, the lifelong friends behind Local Motives, a documentary born out of an ’80s van, a camera, and a wild idea to travel across all 50 states (they hit 46) listening to people experience climate change up close. What started with friendship, curiosity, and a love for the outdoors turned into a project about fishing, farming, invasive species, weather, industry, and the communities trying to adapt without losing who they are. Nate and Cody are not interested in preaching from a distance. They are interested in getting close enough to listen. This conversation is about storytelling, adventure, local responsibility, and the kind of hope that comes from meeting real people in real places, facing complicated problems with creativity, honesty, and a little bit of fun.

In Episode 63, Jake sits down with Kristina Gonzales, a second-grade teacher and natural bodybuilder, for a conversation about teaching, competing, faith, and what it looks like to keep showing up when the work gets hard. We get into the discipline it takes to step on stage, the patience it takes to lead a classroom, and how Kristina’s faith helps keep her grounded through both. This one is about standards, resilience, joy, and chasing difficult goals without letting the outcome take over who you are. This episode will help you embody discipline, grace, and a deeper sense of purpose in the work you choose to pursue.

In Episode 62, Jake sits down with Kevin Murray for a conversation about creativity, work, and what it looks like to slowly build something real. Kevin’s story moves from playing lead guitar in the Columbus band Midnight Coast in high school, to working as a graphic designer, getting laid off, and eventually turning a love for baking into a growing bagel business. This one is not just about bagels. It is about what happens when a creative person keeps finding new ways to make things.

We get into the craft behind Kevin’s bagels, the science of testing recipes, the challenge of building a food business without trying to scale too fast, and why slow, deliberate growth can actually be the right move. Kevin talks about word-of-mouth, branding, local food laws, flavor ideas, and the reality of turning a side project into something people genuinely care about.
