    My Husband Runs The Instagram And He Will Come For You | Ep 57

    Bruce is back on the couch, and this time he isn't sharing it.  Mylo's husband, processor and shopping accomplice takes the full episode for a marriage conversation that detours hard into which gas station chain is superior, whether H-E-B lives up to the hype (it does not), and the Carmine's waiter who set their food down on a bus station and wandered off.  There's a 21-year age gap that nobody at this house is treating as a plot point, and the day Bruce finally snapped on a file and got promoted in his husband's eyes for it. Also on the table: Vegas hotel rankings, an unpaid endorsement of April at Gucci, and 1,500 Instagram followers who apparently cannot locate the subscribe button. Come for the marriage talk, stay for the bag reveal.

    The Velvet Elvis Episode | Ep 56 with Dr. B

    Your favs are picking the conversation back up with two business owners comparing scars, and it gets petty in the best way. Dr. B walks away from the franchise, and Mylo reveals he signed a 500-page contract without reading it (because a lawyer wanted ten grand and his only real question was whether he could still curse on camera).  Then we get to the good stuff: Why saying goodbye to a mentor feels like breaking up with a parent, and what happens to your business the second you stop being your own roadblock. Mylo at 58, refusing to wait until 70 to enjoy anything, and being very clear about who is providing for whom in his house. Plus the school drop-off report: one daughter came home with about eleven new best friends, the other came home and announced she does not like any of them and would prefer her old ones. Guess which one Dr. B claims. Then it turns into a tribute to a grandmother who took no disrespect from anyone, a silhouette tattoo that looks suspiciously like Marge Simpson, a velvet Elvis, and two men admitting they are entirely the product of the women who raised them. Chapters:  00:00 Cold Open 00:30 The 500-Page Contract He Never Read 01:20 Pay to Say Goodbye 02:30 Franchise Freedom vs. Franchise Fees 03:00 Telling a Father Figure You're Leaving 04:40 "Is It Even My Idea Anymore?" 05:10 What Happens When You Stop Blocking Yourself 06:00 Suddenly You're Mentoring People 06:45 Hiring Too Soon and the One Who Stayed 08:00 The VA Team and the Notifications 09:00 Kyle Draper Is Shifting Too 09:45 It Always Comes Down to Dollars and Cents 10:20 Paying a Fee to Exist 11:20 "Just Give Me the Look" 11:50 58 and Not Waiting Until 70 12:40 Twenty-One Years Apart 13:20 Church Group, Community, and a Mormon Joke 14:30 Family vs. Community 15:40 Small Networks and Trust Issues 16:20 Minis, Audis, and the Coachies 17:00 Window Shopping, Not Committing 18:00 Stop Having Vanilla-Ass Conversations 18:30 Tell Me About Your First Pet 19:30 The Peacock Daughter and the Other One 20:00 First Day of School and the Contraband Stuffed Animal 21:20 "I Made Friends.

    Dr. B Bends Everybody Over (Professionally) | Ep 55

    Dr. B is here and immediately turned this episode into a commercial for his own practice, which is honestly the most chiropractor thing that has ever happened on this show. He get into the table he makes everyone climb onto, the scanner Mylo swears vibrates (it does not, apparently, and Dr. B will die on that hill), and the extremely specific pregnancy test opinions of a man with three kids and one very surprised wife. (Spoiler: the IUD had ONE job…) Dr. B opens up on being the reason his mom got looked at sideways in a small Oklahoma town at 20. Mylo on why “Daniel Thomas Lopez” became Mylo Draven, and the phone call to tell his mother about it that went about as well as you'd expect. Two men who look like they've had it together forever comparing notes on how much they very much did NOT.  Plus: seven sets of grandparents, a Waco compound with a casita, and the 757 gigabytes of email that almost took a whole business down. Chapters: 00:00 Cold Open 00:38 Openly Gay, Openly Happy 01:00 B Is for Bend Over 02:15 What Upper Cervical Actually Means 04:05 The Thing That Does Not Vibrate 05:20 Nobody Remembers How They Met 06:00 The IUD Had One Job 07:00 Seven Years, Zero Scares 08:45 Gift Card Run Turns Into a Pregnancy Test 10:30 Two Hours of Staring at the Wall 12:00 "Long Enough for Me to Exist" 13:20 Mom Was 20 and Ate the Baby Food 15:20 Seven Sets of Grandparents 16:10 The Last Name Nobody Wanted 18:35 Daniel Thomas Lopez, Meet Milo Draven 20:00 Picket Fence vs. Trailer Home 21:20 The $750K Waco Compound Plan 24:30 Alaska Money and Smart Brothers 26:30 Leaving the Franchise, Building the Institute 27:45 757 Gigabytes and a Hard Lesson #MyloAndFriends #MyloAndFriendsPodcast #DrB #TheMigraineDoc #UpperCervical #UpperCervicalChiropractic #KneeChest #ChiropracticCare #MigraineRelief #SurpriseBaby #GirlDad #NameChange #SingleMomStrong #FamilyStories #Storytime #PodcastClips #DallasPodcast #GayPodcaster #UnhingedPodcast #RealTalk #Entrepreneurship #Rebrand #SmallBusinessOwner #NewEpisode #Part1

    "That B!tch Popped Out of That Chair" | Mylo and Friends ft. Kyle Draper Ep 54

    Welcome to round two with Kyle Draper! Nobody’s hitting the brakes. Can you believe a client once told Mylo he was going to hell? It’s fine, Mylo told her he'd see her husband AND the mistress there. Things don’t calm down from there. There's the diversity committee post that had broker Facebook clutching its pearls at midnight, the condo dinner where somebody said the quiet part to Mylo's mom (her comeback is filthy and perfect), and the reason "use your inside voice" was never said in Mylo's house.  Kyle also finally announces what he's actually doing now, which is one thing instead of nine, and admits he hasn't missed the stage for a single second. Also discussed: fighting for the word versus fighting for the rights, whether you can weaponize scripture in self defense (yes), Kyle's Facebook warrior of a husband, and a book title so unhinged Mylo may have accidentally created it live. Kyle Draper runs Hire Culture at hirecultureteams.com, and the Rethink series is on Amazon, now up to 16 books. Chapters:  00:00 "I'll See Your Husband and His Mistress" 00:45 The Diversity Committee Post That Broke Facebook 02:15 The Name vs. The Mission 03:15 The Gay Marriage Argument He Ran on His Hair Clients 05:00 Call It Whatever You Want, Just Do the Work 06:10 Who Claps for You and Who Gets Threatened 07:15 Mom, the Condo Dinner, and That Comment 09:00 "My Birth Certificate Says White" 09:40 Privilege Reparations and the T-Shirt That Needs to Exist 10:15 Kyle Quits Everything Except Hire Culture 11:40 Rethink Everything You Know About OnlyFans 12:20 Stop Introducing Yourself (He Does It Anyway) 13:10 "Do You Know Somebody?" The Listing Agent Story 14:30 The World Needs More Mylo. Mylo Needs Less World. 15:45 The Minister of Mortgage Wants a Rebrand 17:20 Made in God's Image: The Clapback 18:30 "Use Your Inside Voice" Is a White People Thing 20:20 Filter Free vs. Just Not Afraid 21:00 The Keyboard Warrior He Married 22:20 Blame It on the Edit 24:00 First Repeat Guest?

    Nobody Warns You About the Owner's Seat | Ep 53 with Kyle Draper

    Honey, the couch has never been this dangerous. Mylo sits down with Kyle Draper, the man behind the Rethink Everything book series, founder of Higher Culture, and the only person who could survive being told, on day one, that Mylo wanted to nestle in the crook of his Christian bosom. Ten years of friendship, one green pair of pants, zero filter. Kyle admits he used to need a stage the way some people need coffee, and what happened when he stopped booking them. Mylo explains why he does not accept apologies, why the second "I'm sorry" is just a pattern with better manners, and what a little sip of notoriety water does to a person. There is a Kandi Burruss comparison that Kyle is absolutely taking home to his wife. Also pictured: Two grown men on a couch, agreeing that most people cannot handle a single uncomfortable conversation without running back to their comfort zone. Chapters:  0:00 Cold open: "Let me not cancel myself" 0:45 Ten years, one couch, zero secrets 3:00 The introduction Kyle had to explain to his 11-year-old 4:10 Green pants, saddle shoes and the bosom heard round Southlake 5:30 "My type of Christian" vs. the other kind 6:20 The bag from the f*g and Deweaza's heterosexual hug 8:00 Rethink Everything, 40 authors and the Kandi Burruss of it all 11:20 Nobody actually knows what a podcast is supposed to be 12:40 The year that broke the brokerage owner 13:40 A little sip of notoriety water 14:30 "You finally don't care": the approval seeking detox 15:50 You're enough (unless you're talking to a judge or the IRS) 17:10 Kyle needed the stage. Then he didn't. 18:30 MortgageCon and the moment Mylo clocked the shift 19:40 A nibble, not a bite: friendship and feedback 20:50 Why Mylo does not accept apologies 23:45 Emotional intelligence is the whole problem 25:40 Maya Angelou was right the first time 26:10 Five levels of friendship and the bullseye 26:45 The people who stop rooting for you when you become the owner 27:20 Why the brokerage is named Inclusive 28:20 Ten chances personally, one professionally 29:20 Pouring into a glass with a lid on it 30:20 Higher Culture, 70 people, and the weight of a yes 31:30 "Why aren't you coaching people?" 32:20 Twelve years to find the room, then wondering if you want it 33:20 The box people put you in #MyloAndFriends #KyleDraper #RethinkEverything #MortgagePodcast #BrokerOwner #MortgageIndustry #EmotionalIntelligence #ApprovalSeeking #ZeroFucksEra #LoanOfficerLife #HigherCulture #InclusiveMortgage #PersonalBranding #RealTalkPodcast #FriendshipGoals #MentalWellness #Authenticity #LeadershipPodcast #Entrepreneurship #DallasPodcast #PodcastClips #UnfilteredConversations #NextGenLoanOfficer #GrowthMindset

    You Can't Chase Money, Just Stand Still and Let It Hit You | Ep 52

    Your company is not a family. Family doesn't lay you off in Q4. Mary said it, Mylo agreed, and then the two of them spent twenty-nine minutes airing out everything wrong with the way people manage people. Mary confesses she used to lose it every single morning over an employee who strolled in at NOT 9am, and even though clients adored the woman, Mary still fumed. Ten years later she doesn't care what time you clock in, which is either growth or surrender (you decide). Mylo brings the mortgage drama. A buyer offering something utterly ridiculous and genuinely offended anyone pushed back, until Mylo asked her one question and got dead silence. And the line to steal: buying a home is 98% emotion, 1% documentation, 1% Mylo magic. Also covered: how to fire a client and make it your fault on purpose, why "know who you are" is Mylo's whole vetting system, the one question that gets your team to tell you what's actually broken, and Mary sneaking a business announcement in at the very end like nobody would notice (we noticed).  Grab the book: Squash the Sunday Scaries: A Modern Playbook to Rebuild Trust, Transform Culture, and Reignite Your Workforce by Mary Baird. Amazon, your local indie, or in bundles for your whole team. Ask her about the corporate book club office hours, she buried that announcement at the very end.

    Your Boss Was Never Trained (And It Shows) ft Mary Baird | Ep 51

    Only one in five managers worldwide are actually engaged at work. The other four are doing what Mary Baird calls solid C-minus work, and calling it a career. She wrote a whole book about it. Mylo has notes. Mary runs The Simplifiers, just published "Squash the Sunday Scaries", and shows up with eight ways to fix a miserable team  (none of which involve money). Mylo shows up with four loan officers, a brokerage, and a very real question about how to keep everybody motivated without doing their jobs for them. She gives him three things to steal. One is a sentence she makes him write down on mic. One is a fifteen-minute meeting with exactly one question in it, and the reason it works is that nobody has ever asked your employee that question in their life. Also: a Walmart wig and a thrift store muumuu.  Chapters:  00:00 Write This Down 01:20 "If You Write a Book, Call Me First" 03:10 The Walmart Wig That Wouldn't Scan 04:30 Squash the Sunday Scaries: What the Book Actually Is 05:00 The Gallup Stat That Should Scare Your C-Suite 07:50 Nobody Enrolls in College Hoping To Hate Their Job 08:15 Parenting, Dreams and the OnlyFans Question 09:35 Corporate America Is Middle School With Payroll 11:10 Employees First, Then Customers, Then Money 12:40 Spinning Plates and the Wednesday Scaries 15:20 "I Opened the Brokerage So Nobody Could Tell Me What To Do" 16:50 Most Managers Have Never Had a Good Boss 19:00 Job Hugging and What Bad Bosses Really Cost 19:45 The Production Pulse and Atlas the ChatGPT 22:10 Nobody Cares What You Look Like 27:30 "What Are You Scared Of?"

    Less Is More, Honey (Put the Syringe Down) | Ep 50

    Mylo drags the fabulous Lisa Bauer onto the couch (yes, the comfy one) for a masterclass in aging disgracefully in the buckle of the Bible Belt. One nosy neighbor is convinced these two only talk about one thing… so naturally they pivot to peptides, lasers, and how to snatch a neck without flying to Turkey for it. You're welcome, Barbara. Lisa spills on the gospel of less is more (because nobody asked to walk around looking like a Lego with boulders in their cheeks) and drops the tea on tox, filler, Sofwave, Sculptra, and the great GLP-1 reformulation happening on everyone's scale right now. They debate the $6,500 Turkey facelift trend, ugly-cry over Dallas being a certified mecca of plastic surgeons ("T**s by Fritz," anyone?), and confirm the one universal truth of the recession: hair doesn't know if you're broke. Chapters:  0:00 Find Your Why (Or You're Just Clucking Around) 0:40 "Do They Always Have to Talk About D*ck?" 1:00 All Things Skin: Peptides, Lasers & Tox 2:50 Turning 58 & The Great Facelift Debate 3:20 Dallas: Mecca of Plastic Surgeons (T**s by Fritz) 3:50 Flying to Turkey for a $6,500 Facelift 4:40 Hair Doesn't Know You're Broke: Recession-Proof Careers 6:15 Mom's 90-Year-Old Facelift & Irish Genetics 7:50 How Randall Introduced Us + Sofwave Shout-Out 8:40 Stop Injecting Like a Lego: The Case for Less Is More 11:50 The Last 6 Months Behind the Chair 13:20 Entitlement Abroad vs. American Privilege 14:45 Doing Your Inventory: Where's My Cap? 17:20 My Why Is My Husband (Milo & Bruce) 19:30 Turn Up the TV: On the Spectrum With Noise 21:40 The Original Skin x Garden of Eden T-Shirt Pitch 25:00 Summer of Sculptra Event + Shout-Outs 27:30 Go to Original Skin or Stop Watching, Honey #MyloAndFriends #OriginalSkin #Botox #Filler #Injectables #Tox #AestheticNurse #MedSpa #DallasMedSpa #Sculptra #Sofwave #Skincare #AntiAging #Facelift #Peptides
