Dillon King steps out from behind the scenes to reveal himself as far more than just "Amy Duggar's husband" on this fascinating episode of the B-Team Podcast. Sipping Blanton's bourbon with us, Dillon unveils his impressive portfolio of businesses that few people know about.

As founder of Kingston Investment Group, Dillon has quietly amassed a collection of commercial properties that have tripled in value since 2019. His philosophy? "I'm not a big fan of just parking my money in a bank and letting them loan it out and make all the money." This buy-and-hold strategy forms the backbone of his and Amy's retirement plan, providing tangible assets they can touch and feel regardless of market fluctuations.

Dillon also shares insights into Property Improvements, the construction company started by his father, where he now applies his architecture background to projects ranging from boutique renovations to complete new builds. With disarming honesty, he recounts lessons learned from his father about quality construction and building things right the first time—even if it means adding that extra two-by-four that seemed unnecessary to his younger self.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Dillon discusses life married to a reality TV personality and reveals details about Amy's forthcoming memoir, Holy Disruptor, scheduled for October release. He offers a glimpse into the emotional journey of writing a book that covers everything from Amy's childhood with an abusive father to her experiences with the Duggar family and establishing healthy boundaries.

Most exciting is Dillon's revelation about his newest venture—The Parlor Club, an exclusive 8,000-square-foot, members-only establishment planned for the Rogers/Pinnacle area. This sophisticated space will cater to Northwest Arkansas's growing need for upscale social venues where business leaders can relax without constant interruptions.

Whether you're curious about investment strategies, Northwest Arkansas's explosive growth, or the realities of life adjacent to reality TV fame, Dillon's straightforward insights and entrepreneurial vision make this episode essential listening.

Ever wonder what it takes to build a restaurant that becomes a beloved community staple? Kevin from Pedaler's Pub joins the B-Team Podcast to share the remarkable journey of transforming from school teacher to successful restaurateur.

Kevin's story is refreshingly genuine – starting with a homemade wood-fired pizza oven on a trailer where he perfected recipes before taking the entrepreneurial leap. His philosophy is beautifully simple: serve good food at fair prices, stay open later than everyone else, and maintain unwavering quality. This approach has created not just a restaurant, but a Bentonville institution that recently expanded from 2,500 to 9,000 square feet while keeping its original charm and character.

What truly sets Pedaler's apart is the incredible team Kevin has assembled. In an industry notorious for turnover, his general manager has been there since day one, eleven years ago. His bar manager? Ten years. As Kevin puts it with characteristic straightforwardness, "You can't suck and work here." This commitment to excellence extends to every aspect of the business, from their meticulously crafted wood-fired pizzas (where the oven operator serves as "the quarterback" of the entire kitchen) to their fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.

The expanded location holds some delightful surprises too – like a full golf simulator room available for private rental, pool tables with ample space, and plans for a future patio. Kevin walks us through the challenges of maintaining pizza perfection when cooking with wood fire, the careful decisions behind menu evolution, and why their branded take-home cups have become collectors' items around town.

Whether you're a longtime Pedaler's fan or haven't yet experienced their chicken bacon ranch pizza (a kitchen staff favorite) or their legendary wood-fired spinach artichoke dip, this episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the heart and soul of a restaurant that embodies the best of Bentonville's dining scene.

Head to 500 South Main Street to experience Pedaler's Pub for yourself, or follow them online to learn more about their story, menu, and special offerings. Your new favorite pizza place (and so much more) is waiting!

Ever wondered what happens when bourbon enthusiasts, charitable hearts, and a tight-knit community come together? Gentsgiving is the answer—a unique charity event that has evolved from humble beginnings into one of Northwest Arkansas's most anticipated annual gatherings.

On this episode of the B-Team Podcast, Emily Saffran joins us to pull back the curtain on this exceptional fundraiser that's changing lives through its support of pancreatic cancer research and veterans' services. As co-founder of Gentsgiving, Emily shares how the event has grown dramatically while maintaining its intimate, family-like atmosphere that sets it apart from typical charity galas.

What makes bourbon lovers mark their calendars months in advance? The carefully curated selection of rare, allocated spirits that most enthusiasts only dream of tasting. This year's lineup includes coveted pours from the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection—George T. Stagg, William Larue Weller, and Thomas H. Handy—with hints that the legendary Pappy Van Winkle might make an appearance. And for those who prefer other spirits, there's good news: the event now offers alternative options.

We dive into the exciting auction items that have become legendary in their own right, from custom-crafted bourbon cabinets to the chance to create your own signature ice cream flavor at a local shop. Emily reveals how these one-of-a-kind experiences drive fundraising while creating memorable moments for attendees.

But what truly distinguishes Gentsgiving is the personal connection to its causes. When recipients of the charities' services share their stories, there's "typically not a dry eye in the room." This emotional core, combined with exceptional food, premium spirits, and genuine camaraderie, creates an experience that sells out faster each year.

Whether you're a bourbon aficionado, a philanthropist at heart, or simply curious about community-driven events that make a difference, this conversation offers valuable insights into creating meaningful charitable experiences that people eagerly anticipate year after year.

Listen now to discover why Gentsgiving has become much more than just another charity event—it's become a beloved tradition that brings people together for extraordinary causes. Mark your calendar for November 6th and follow @Gentsgiving_NWA on social media for ticket information!
