    If You Can Sleep at Night, Stop Complaining | Ep 60

    Everybody's your bestie? Cute. Do they even know your last name? Jim Morris, author of Connect or Die, is back on the couch for Part 2 (straight off the plane, still fresh), and Mylo is not holding back. We hear about the phone call where Mylo's mom asked (mid senior year, by the way), “Are you still gay?” Plus, why old school Disney ruined everyone's idea of romance, and the private school classmate who blamed Mylo's better grades on being Hispanic.  Jim shares the heartfelt DM he sent a struggling business owner that got nothing back but a like, and why that turned out to be the whole point. Also revealed: about 12 people know where Mylo lives, fewer have been inside, and nobody, NOBODY, gets to use the bathroom. If you've ever handed confidant status to someone who was really just an acquaintance, consider this your intervention. Grab Connect or Die by Jim Morris on Amazon in paperback, hardcover, Kindle, and audio.

    "I'm Not a Dealer" and Other Lies We Tell Ourselves | Ep 59 ft Jim Morris

    First time meeting in person, and Mylo opens with not one, not two, but THREE strip club stories. Welcome to the couch, Jim. Jim Morris, author of Connect or Die, went from a Boston kid who discovered his parents' opioid secret at 14, to a college student paying tuition in cash (allegedly, from selling weed). He also sweet talked his way into community college three weeks late, which says a lot about his whole “connection” thing. Mylo matches him story for story: the phantom work phone that fueled his meth habit, the rehab therapist who read him for filth on family day, and the New Year's Eve he walked out on the party, then locked his boyfriend out of the condo. (Like, literally carried him out the door.) You'll relate if you've ever lived two lives and gotten exhausted playing both. Connect or Die by Jim Morris is on Amazon now.

    Five Figures A Year And I Still Can't Get A Phone Call | Ep 58

    Part two picks up exactly where the bags left off. Mylo and Bruce spend a good stretch dragging the luxury retail experience, starting with Coach, where a district manager named Anne is formally invited to hand over the email address nobody will give them. There's the woman at the Northpark drop who talked a loved leather Empire right off the shoulder for a cool grand, a theory about why Southlake never gets the good merchandise, and a reminder that in Europe they'll treat you like royalty with two dollars in your pocket.  Then it quietly becomes a business masterclass, because the same men who will read you for a bad attitude also close a $160,000 condo (with the same energy as a $1.3 million deal), and they have thoughts about loan officers who get mad at somebody else for making the follow-up call they skipped.  Stay for the Starbucks gift wrap review, the tumbler cabinet confession, and Bruce's retirement plan.  Chapters:  0:00 Luxury is not a price point 0:25 The Coach Circle and the Rexy photo that took off 1:20 The Brain Dead drop and a 3 AM alarm 1:45 Selling a bag off his shoulder in the middle of the store 2:50 Jamila at MCM and the Liz tote 3:30 Northpark gets everything, Southlake gets nothing 4:00 Anne, this part is for you 4:30 Five figures a year and nobody's book of business 6:00 While we're here, let's drag Louis Vuitton 6:40 The vintage Speedy rebirth nobody will call about 8:10 A $160K condo and a $1.3M deal get the same energy 9:20 Europe treats you like a king, here they turn their nose up 10:20 What retail taught him about relationships 11:20 Meet Team Milo and the princess processor 12:20 Third grade math, emotions and HOAs 13:30 The group chats are unhinged 14:00 Follow up with your clients 15:00 Nobody is stealing your clients, you're just not calling 15:45 Everybody deserves a home 16:20 Yes, we fire clients 16:40 Don't get mad at the version of me you earned 17:20 Drag queens taught him how to read 18:00 Boundaries, check-ins and zero phone trackers 19:40 A broken picker and how fast they knew 20:20 Nobody sends an ugly picture 21:20 Take a moment for Candace 23:20 My accountability era 24:10 The MCM Rocket bag 24:40 Still cutting hair for the Shamburgers 25:30 What a real Christian actually looks like 26:20 Stunting now, eccentric old man later 27:30 Jacques Marie Mage and checking the label 28:30 The Starbucks gift wrap situation 29:50 The tumbler cabinet and the Nespresso era 31:10 A closing message for anybody who's been done dirty #MyloAndFriends #MyloAndBen #CoachCircle #Coachie #CoachBags #MCM #LouisVuitton #BagTok #HandbagCollection #LuxuryRetail #CustomerServiceFail #NorthPark #DallasPodcast #LoanOfficerLife #MortgageTips #InclusiveLending #RelationshipsOverTransactions #GayCouple #LGBTQPodcast #PodcastClips

    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. Chapters:  0:00 Bruce is back and the mic is too far away 1:20 No girl, we're not brothers 1:50 Best friend, husband, work partner 2:20 Retail to mortgage: the crash course 3:15 Two fire signs, one household 4:10 The day Bruce finally snapped 5:30 Type A, type B, type C+ 6:00 Harder market, messier clients 7:10 Paying for convenience is the utopia 7:45 H-E-B did not impress 8:35 Wawa vs QT vs QuickChek 9:30 The hoagie, the bike, and the miracle of this marriage 10:20 What he refused to lose 11:30 The donut shop in the old Taco Bell 12:20 What actually surprises him about being married 13:30 Safe, respected, and nothing like before 14:15 We're not the stereotypical gays 14:50 The 21-year age gap 15:30 Leading by example 16:40 Marriage feels like a comfortable cardigan 17:30 Every version of me, treated the same 18:20 Pretty people and the effort problem 19:00 Grandpa's 1987 dating advice 20:30 The kid conversation 22:30 Long-term care and where the line is 23:20 Bruce runs the Instagram, come correct 24:00 1,500 followers, zero subscribers 24:35 Shout out Yanny at Coach 25:15 Vegas: hot, dead Fontainebleau, good Gucci 26:20 Hotel rankings and the Vanderpump letdown 27:00 Carmine's, you're off the list 28:00 Lola's, Louis Vuitton, and April at Gucci 29:45 No vices left, just bags, cars and trips 30:20 The Coach Compass 25 reveal #MyloAndFriends #MyloAndBen #GayMarriage #GayCouple #AgeGapRelationship #LGBTQPodcast #QueerPodcast #MarriedLife #HusbandsOfInstagram #WorkingWithYourSpouse #MortgageLife #LoanOfficerLife #DallasPodcast #CoachCompass #BagTok #HandbagCollection #VegasTrip #GucciHaul #PodcastClips #MessyAndMarried

    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
