Kelly Grace of Travis Price Architects joins Mark for a conversation about why the future of luxury homes might be smaller, healthier, and a whole lot more intentional. They explore natural materials, long-term durability, circadian lighting, healthy building envelopes, and why spending more upfront can save money over the life of a home. Plus, Kelly shares hard-earned lessons from her years in construction about managing risk, having uncomfortable client conversations, and why documenting everything is a lot cheaper than going to court.

Signing up for a marathon is one thing. Actually getting your body to cooperate for 26 miles is another. Leah Koschak and physical therapist Ben Torres join Mark to unpack a wild eight-month journey filled with hip pain, knee problems, a back injury, and a whole lot of determination. It's a conversation about resilience, managing setbacks, and why you don't have to solve the entire marathon today. Just figure out this week's problem.

What do ultra running, scaling a business, and getting smacked in the face with a two-by-four have in common? Apparently, a lot. Josh Sprague of Seven Clay joins Mark to talk endurance sports, million-dollar inventory headaches, and the $186,000 Google Ads hack that turned a vacation into a 100-day battle with Google. It's a conversation about staying relentless when business gets ugly, knowing when to push, and why your bank balance is not the same thing as your profit.
