In today's episode we are joined by a very special guest, without whom NONE OF THIS would be possible - Alex Fairbanks! Alex is an accomplished real estate agent, mentor, team leader, and of course - Zach mentored under Alex many years ago. It is said many times in this podcast that the influence Alex has over people comes deep from his values and remembering that is the relationship that builds the business. Alex found his niche in luxury homes out in Sacramento CA. Tap in as we break down his humble origins, moving from the midwest out to the coast, and lot of cool experiences between him and Zach over the years!

In today's episode we have the spouse of a guest featured earlier this year! A lifelong friend of Zach's, manager of operations at our favorite spot Fit Flavors, husband to Katie Finnegan-Krispin, and 75 Hard finisher (they did it together as a married couple, remember?) - Brian Krispin! Brian's story has lots of hometown charm dating back to his time working for the Mike Shannon Show early in his adulthood, switching gears to work for Fit Flavors in their management team, and what it's like being married to an estate planning legal powerhouse like Katie! Join us as we cover all this as well as what happens when you lose in Brian's fantasy football draft and so much more!

In today's episode we are joined by Zach's inspector of choice and a main stay in the industry the last 20 years...Joe Doctor! A father, husband, and one of the best at what he does in home inspections, Joe's simple philosophy of keeping great bedside manor and treating people right has led him to being top of his class in his industry. His secret? Putting the needs first of whoever is moving into the house he is inspecting. It's not about the agent or the seller, it is who is going to call this home their own. Lots of tips and intel for those either in the industry professionally or looking to buy or sell homes in STL or anywhere else!

In today's episode we sit down with "Sweet Baby" Ray Hayes, a pro fighter currently sitting at 6-1 all time! Ray sits down with us as he's prepping for his upcoming fight next month and tell us all about his small town origins, what it meant to grow up fast after the passing of his parents in a fatal car accident in 2016, playing the dad role and the challenges he faced when helping raise his little brother, going pro, and what direction he thinks MMA is going to go! A soft spoken, blue collar man with a lot of heart and pride who puts on for his family - whether you like stories that teach you how to win or just love a guy with a lot of grit who has his actions speak for him, Ray was a great guest we'd love to have back on!

In today's episode Zach and Pat are joined by a very special guest - Kyle Watson! Kyle is the head of Watson Martial Arts as well as the coach of both hosts (as well as producer Murph when he is home) and has had a prolific career in combat sports early in life and one of the top rated bjj schools in the midwest here and now. Kyle's journey takes us through his early days starting martial arts as a kid with no sports background, his upbringing coaching under UFC great Matt Hughes HIT Squad, bringing humor to the Ultimate Fighter, his six fights in the UFC, and now life as a father/husband, real estate investor, and one of the central figures in the bjj collective known as TAC TEAM. This is actually the second time we sat down with Kyle after some technical difficulties early in the show's history so this episode means THE WORLD to us. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
