In this episode, we sit down with the amazing Luke Caldwell — HGTV star, former touring musician, creative entrepreneur, and passionate adoption advocate — for one of the most genuine and heartfelt conversations we’ve ever had.

He shares how his journey started as a touring musician, how a desire to adopt changed his entire path, and how real estate became the unexpected vehicle to fund his growing family and mission. We talk about parenting, purpose, designing with soul, and what it really takes to stay grounded when the spotlight hits.

Luke opens up about the highs, the struggles, and the lessons that have shaped him — and trust us, it’s not the kind of story you hear every day.

Aloha! Tristyn and Kamohai here and in this episode of Deals & Aloha, we sit down with Cody Barton, the entrepreneur behind Scale with Pros.

Cody went from a broke 21-year-old with a collapsed network marketing career to building a multimillion-dollar real estate and consulting empire — without ever getting a real estate license. Now he’s buying up home service businesses, scaling them fast, and using his playbook to create real freedom, not just flashy revenue.

We get into the real story — the failed ventures, the lessons from early partnerships, the grind of flipping houses, and how he made the leap into buying businesses that generate monthly cash flow while he surfs in Maui. Tune in now for a raw, practical, and inspiring conversation.
