Back with another great episode! This time I'm talking with Odin Clack; the owner of Odin Leather Goods w/ locations in Lewisville, TX and The Colony, TX. Odin is a true entrepreneur with an amazing skill that I believe is slowly being forgotten. His leather products are phenomenally crafted! As always, on the podcast we talked about his background and upbringing. We talk about what defines "community" and the importance of remembering how to always be authentic with other people. That authenticity translates into growth in your business and "following" on social media, etc. Of course, we also talked about his craft and what being a leather designer entails. The business and history of leather-working is fascinating! Enjoy! Share this episode with your friends! Odin Leather Goods: www.odinleathergoods.com IG - @odinleather YouTube - @OdinLeatherGoods

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down and speaking with Dr. Andrew Oteo. The clinic I met him in is in The Colony, TX at Stonebridge Chiropractic and Physical Therapy. He is the State Director of the Texas Chiropractic Association District 5 and also the President of Stonebridge Health. Dr. Oteo and I spoke on his background, trauma (both in his life and his patients), the business, pandemic response, and much more. It was great to see the steadfast leadership and excellence that reflects in his staff. Thoroughly enjoyed this episode and ask that you SHARE it!

The last episode on my trip to Las Vegas was with Kyle Matias. Kyle was the real estate agent I used to sell my home in 2022. I decided to have him on to talk about the real estate industry in Las Vegas before, during, and after covid lockdowns. He has always been an ambitious guy so he saw much success during those times. Kyle is also a part of a non-profit in Vegas called Family Promise. He was able to take his experience in real estate and his goals for lifting up others and apply it to helping those in need in Las Vegas. Another banger episode. Enjoy!

Scott Rickard is (in my opinion) one of the most interesting men in the world. He's a great friend of mine, and we got to sit down to chat about some of the many stories he has about his traveling and working around the world. Born in Sydney, Australia, joined the Australian Army, field ops in Malaysia, anti-poaching in Africa, restoration of a WW2 Marine Corps Sherman tank, working with Bomber Camp in California, starting a successful YouTube Channel called "Restoration Passion," to being an armorer on movie sets. This interview could have probably gone on for many hours more, and I hope to be able to sit down with him and his business partner in the future to talk more about the movie and film industry!

Final episode on my Idaho trip. In this episode, I speak with Dave Faller. Dave has worked in many great professions over the years.

Another Idaho episode in the books! Tom Robinson is a successful tax professional who is originally from California, but started his own tax practice in Northern Idaho called Robinson Financial Services. His company has a great team of professionals who service the tax needs of individuals and businesses all over the country. We talked about how he ended up in the profession; cultural differences between California and Idaho; the effects of the transplant population on local populations; cryptocurrency and the governments' plans for it; and a little bit of politics.

My travels have taken me to the Northwest United States to visit a couple farmers from eastern Washington: Kyle Porter and Dallas Hintz. Kyle was one of my closest friends in the Marine Corps and I met Dallas about 20 minutes before recording this episode. I promised to start getting some people in the agriculture industry to talk about what they do, and both these gentlemen delivered some really great perspective on the AG industry. Kyle works for a vegetable processing company and Dallas owns and operates his own farm...along with his dad who I will have on the podcast in the future! Both Kyle and Dallas come from a long line of farmers. You will really enjoy this episode, and hopefully gain some true respect for the men and women that work endlessly to keep this world fed!

In this episode, I took a trip out to Tyler, Texas to speak with Rhena Frounfelker. She is a manager at the La Vie Med Spa. We talked about her life and the challenges of being a wife to a Marine, Soldier, and Police Officer. Rhena has been working as a Cosmetologist for 15+ years. I enjoyed her take on the industry and how it has changed over the years. Although, she has worked in many aspects of the health, wellness, and cosmetic industry, Rhena finds the most enjoyment and responsibility as a mother. This episode was a change of pace for the podcast and I really enjoyed getting the female perspective of the craziness in the world today. As always, SHARE this podcast with everybody you know.
