    From Pageants to $200M Ranch Deals in luxury Real Estate

    The ranch she featured on her show was 6,500 acres, priced between $50 and $60 million, and that's just one listing. For exclusive discount codes on my favorite luxury brands, visit www.amyplusjoe.com/discounts 💕 I found out I was podcasting Ashton Theiss less than 24 hours before we sat down. I met her 10 minutes before we hit record. And it turned into one of the most authentic, inspiring conversations I've had on this podcast. Ashton is a former Miss Texas USA competitor, three-time reality TV personality (Amazing Race Season 29, Ranch Land Listings, HGTV), and the founder of one of the fastest-growing luxury real estate agencies in Texas, specializing in ranches up to $200 million. She showed up in Wranglers, trusty boots, a blazer, and her late grandfather's Texas belt buckle. She didn't find out until years later that he also had his real estate license, from 1979, and his certificate is now framed in her office. We get into 13 years in the pageant world (it's NOT just about beauty, it's self-confidence and public speaking), the Amazing Race experience on zero sleep and airplane food, how she markets ranch properties using wildlife footage across multiple seasons, her TCU marketing degree she puts to work daily, her faith, her dream ranch (live water, big views, rocky terrain, and a gas fireplace because she smoked out her house at 23 and never got over it), and why ranching is a lifestyle — not a business. 📸 Follow Ashton: @ashtontheiss 🎧 Amy Plus Podcast: https://www.amyplusjoe.com/podcast 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amyplusjoe 🛍 Discount Codes: https://www.amyplusjoe.com/discounts #AshtonTheiss #LuxuryRealEstate #TexasRanch #MissTexas #AmazingRace #RanchLife #WomenInRealEstate #AmyPlusJoe #AmyPlusPodcast #FortWorthTexas #FemaleEntrepreneur #WesternFashion #CowgirlBoss #LuxuryLand #RanchBroker #TCU

    Western Luxury 140 year old boot brand Lucchese

    A 140-year-old brand with that kind of growth rate,  that's a unicorn." For exclusive discount codes on my favorite luxury brands, visit www.amyplusjoe.com/discounts 💕 Today I'm sitting down with a true power couple in the Western luxury world, Tim, CFO of Lucchese, one of the most iconic boot brands in the country, and his wife Alana Kay, a designer, artist, and color evangelist known for her stunning wearable art. Tim showed up in a custom sport coat lined with one of Alana's original paintings on the inside, finance guy on the outside, artist on the inside. That's their whole marriage in one jacket. We get into what makes Lucchese different from every other boot brand, why Western fashion is a movement not a moment, the Yellowstone and Beyoncé effect, how Lucchese showed up at the Breeders Cup and the National Cowboy Museum, Alana's rainbow cowgirl aesthetic and her Atlantic dress line, their custom jacket tradition (Joe does the same thing), the comfort revolution that came out of COVID, and the exciting luxury event we're co-hosting at my Fort Worth home this summer, where guests will leave head to toe in custom boots, wearable art, hats, jewelry, live music, and styled from the ground up. Plus we play the cutest couples rapid-fire game at the end.

    She Fires Clients, Blends Gray Like Magic & Makes More Than Attorneys | Jessica Berry

    For exclusive discount codes on my favorite luxury brands, visit www.amyplusjoe.com/discounts 💕 What really goes on behind the salon chair? My hairstylist Jessica Berry has spent 25 years finding out, and today she's telling you everything. Jess is a seasoned hairstylist, certified health coach, devoted mom, and wife of Frank Berry, the luxury designer who did our Laguna Beach home and was featured on Netflix's Selling OC. We get into the REAL drama behind the chair, how she can spot a problem client by the third appointment (and how she "fires" them with love), gray blending and why it changed my life, hair extensions, the right way vs the damaging way, why ashy blond ages you, why women want bangs after a breakup (and why she won't cut them), perimenopause and thinning hair, why she makes as much as attorneys in Orange County, the yin-and-yang marriage with Frank, and her final answer on beach waves vs a sleek blowout.

    The Architect Behind Orange County's Most Iconic Homes (Full Interview)

    What's the most expensive home you've been involved with in Orange County? "$100 million." That's our architect, Chris Light, one of the most sought-after residential architects in all of Southern California, and the man behind our oceanfront home here in Laguna Beach. I sat him down the morning after we celebrated our Ocean Boulevard build going to market and he told me everything. Chris shares the real story of how he walked through our property, looked Joe and me in the eye, and said "all of it" when we asked what needed to change. We get into how he evaluates a property in under five minutes, the daylight basement technique he pioneered at the Montage, the origin story of the open concept floor plan (a 100-person Christmas party in 1994), his honest take on AI in architecture, why remodeling can cost more than tearing down, the $100 million Emerald Bay project, his dream team with interior designer Frank Barry, the Selling OC feature Jason Oppenheim called the finest finishes he's ever seen, and his rapid-fire advice for anyone thinking about building or remodeling in Southern California. Spoiler: triple your budget and double your timeline.

    64 Michelin Restaurants, a Grandchild & a $22M House: Life Update with Joe

    We drop napkins at Michelin restaurants on purpose, and time how long it takes them to pick it up. (Single Thread? 21 seconds. Per Se? 55. Barcelona? Three and a half minutes.) In this episode, I sit down with my husband Joe for a fun catch-up on everything going on in our lives right now. We recap our 12-year anniversary weekend at the Bel Air Hotel, the spa, the Marilyn Monroe history, caviar and truffle fries by the pool, and a 2006 Château Latour at Michelin two-star restaurant Mille's that was one of the best wines we've ever had. We also share the big news: we're grandparents! Baby Noah is here (9 lbs 1 oz, came out perfect), our daughter Kelly just landed at Cook Children's in Fort Worth, and Joe opens up about what it actually feels like to be "Pops." Plus, our Ocean Boulevard new build in Newport Beach is weeks away from hitting the market, and we're breaking down the strategy behind no open houses, James Roper Curzon artwork, and why the right buyer just needs to walk in and fall in love.

    Brunello, Birkins & a $125K Himalayan Croc My Collection

    Why are luxury pieces so expensive, and are they actually worth it? Today I'm taking you inside my Laguna Beach closet to break it all down. From a $3,000 Brunello Cucinelli sweater I got for a fraction of the price, to the rarest Hermès bag in the world (a Himalayan crocodile Birkin that Joe gifted me for our 10-year anniversary), I'm showing you what's in my closet, why these pieces cost what they do, and how I shop luxury for less. We're getting into Brunello's humanistic capitalism philosophy, the small Italian village where one person hand-crafts each piece, my 70%-off Neiman Marcus strategy, Hermès Togo leather and saddle stitching, and an incredible alternative from my friend Mookie Bolton whose exotic bags rival a $70,000 Kelly for a fraction of the price. Plus Joe surprised me with the sweetest anniversary gift, you'll see it.
