In this April edition of It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere, Marc Shaffer and I have another happy hour-style conversation about what’s working, what we’re learning, and why playing the long game matters.

Marc shares the shocking secret behind his zero calcium heart score: Mountain Dew and Skinny Pop. Medical professionals may disagree.

We also talk about:

• The incredible success of Run for the Roses and Growing Futures • Health, walking, mobility, and meditation • New connections through The Table KC • Golf plans, baseball stadium debates, and future live podcast recordings from local restaurants • Celebrating 50 years of Searcy Financial and Marc’s 20-year milestone

Good people. Good stories. Good reminders about what matters.

Grab a drink. It’s five o’clock somewhere.
