Coming to you for the first of a three part session that we recorded out in Nashville last week, we just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping us reach our 200th episode! We started this project in late 2023 just wanting to change up the way we do social media content and the laughs, education, and relationships we've been able to build ever since have made this so much more than we ever expected! Tap in as we reminisce on our favorite episodes in the last year, talk about what we've learned and how we grew, and finally wrap up with a good ole fashioned Q&A from you, our beloved audience!

In today's episode we bring you one of the most inspiring stories to ever grace our podcast, the great and powerful Jeremy Johnson! Jeremy's upbringing in small town Illinois in a trailer park fueled his fire to escape his surroundings and make something of himself. Through martial arts, he learned discipline and persistence and was able to parlay these qualities into becoming a decorated fight commentator, cut man, father, husband, and entrepreneur with multiple products and services under his belt. Join us as we sip his FANTASTIC Uppercut Whiskey and talk about why where you being does not define you. It's what you do with your life that matters.

Once again we have our good friend Matt Dickens joining us on the show today! Matt was one of our first guests back when our show was still in single digits and being filmed in Zach's spare bedroom. Since then, Matt has had his daughter and began rediscovering his faith in a higher power, realizing that life without purpose is aimless and without that structure - we tend to fall to a lower frequency. Join us as we gab about mortgages, his vlogging series, balancing life and business and of course, lots of dad jokes!
