  1. LIVE: A Dinner Party with Builders, Creators & Owners

    LIVE: A Dinner Party with Builders, Creators & Owners

    Season 4 ends a little differently this year. For the first time ever, Here's To You stepped off the couch and onto the stage for a live reunion episode in front of nearly 100 people at Odd Fellow Hall in Wichita. What started as an idea back in 2021 turned into an evening filled with three conversations, a three-course dinner, three custom cocktails, plenty of shots of El Trago Blue Agave Espadín Spirit, and the kind of honest conversations that have always been at the heart of this podcast. This wasn't a business panel. It wasn't a networking event. It was a reunion. Throughout the night we welcomed back twelve incredible Season 4 guests to celebrate where they've been, what's changed since their episodes, and what they're cheering to next. 🥂 THE BUILDERS Cole Thompson (Fortune 88 Run Club), Tianna Kelly (Hot Girls Vote), Bryan Parsons (Wichita Emerald Tattoo Convention), and Ben Myers (Wichita Food & Booze) joined us to talk about building community, the unexpected moments that happen when people come together, knowing when to keep going, and why Wichita deserves more flowers. 🎬 THE CREATORS Miguel (Front Steps Creative Studio), Fitz "The Film Cowboy," Steve (Bully & Bulk), and Ashley (ICT Broke Girls) brought the laughs with conversations about creative hot takes, finding inspiration, internet culture, following your curiosity, and the realities of creating in public. 🏢 THE OWNERS Erick Zayas made a special appearance filling in for Bryce Lob (yes, it was exactly as chaotic as you'd expect), alongside Michele Valadez (City Girlz Liquor), Cam, Stephen Reed (Elite Eclectic Company & Apprenticeship Academy), and Mariana (MD Suite Spa) for a conversation about entrepreneurship, hiring, defining success, and the lessons that only business ownership can teach you. This episode is full of laughter, vulnerable moments, unexpected stories, audience interaction, and exactly the kind of conversations that remind us success isn't just measured by titles or accolades—it's measured by the people you build life with. Here's to another unforgettable season.🥃 Special thanks to our spirit partner, One Life Spirits Brands, for keeping the cocktails flowing with Una Vida Tequila and El Trago Blue Agave Espadín Spirit. A huge thank you to our event sponsors for believing in local conversations and community:• One Life Spirits Brands• Shelter Mutual Insurance – Rachel James• IC Therapy Works• Jordan Chiropractic• MD Suite Spa• ICT TaxAnd thank you to our collaborators who helped bring this night to life:Odd Fellow Hall, M00lay, and Erick Zayas.
