We talk with ordinary people living extraordinary lives. Be inspired, LET'S GO!

    Cancer Survivor, Assistant Director, and Personal Trainer Kyle Hardy

    Cancer Survivor, Assistant Director, and Personal Trainer Kyle Hardy

    Kyle Hardy, an assistant director with a knack for breathing life into scripts, pulls back the curtain to reveal the sweat and ingenuity poured into every frame. Our chat traverses his origin story in the sprawling landscape of Hollywood and the serendipity of friendships formed in the most unexpected places – like an acupuncture clinic.

    Life's grand tapestry is woven with threads of resilience, motivation, and sometimes, the guiding hand of faith. We wade through the early days of unpaid internships and the relentless hustle that propels one from fetching coffee to commanding the set. Through tales of personal trials, including a raw recount of my own battle with cancer, we uncover the profound growth that sprouts from adversity and the solace found in shared experiences and personal faith.

    As the final reel of our episode unspools, we celebrate the crucial bonds of friendship – my camaraderie with Evan stands testament to this – and the role of unwavering motivation in attaining even the loftiest ambitions. From facing down financial uncertainties with a blend of strategy and faith to the cathartic release of gratitude for life's most punishing lessons, our discussion is a mosaic of the human experience, offering a beacon of hope and encouragement for anyone navigating their unique path.

    Fire Department Chaplain Jeff McKee

    Fire Department Chaplain Jeff McKee

    When Jeff McKee stepped into our studio, he brought with him stories of transformation, endurance, and the deep connections forged in moments of joy and sorrow.  We trace the origins of Trinity Bat Company which earned the stamp of Major League Baseball approval and is still his families business today.

    The heart of our discussion beats with a profound respect for those who serve on the front lines as first responders. Jeff's calling as a fire department chaplain shines a light on the critical support our first responders require as they navigate through the aftermath of crisis. We share intimate glimpses of the sacred firehouse kitchen table, where laughter and tears are shared in equal measure, revealing the therapeutic bonds that sustain our firefighters through the toughest of times. Our narrative then pivots to the personal, delving into the raw grief of loss, the sanctuary of faith in the darkest hours, and the unifying power of community as we face life's most trying challenges.

    As we wrap up our time together, we reflect on the enigmatic nature of life's trials and the resilience of the human spirit. The metaphor of the coffee bean's transformation through adversity serves as a poignant reminder that we, too, can emerge from our struggles with renewed strength. This episode is a testament to the unwavering hope that guides us through the ups and downs of life, and the indomitable connections that hold us together when the path ahead seems uncertain. Join us for this deeply human exploration, and let the power of these stories resonate within you.

    Anthony Hernandez: Firefighting, Trauma, Healing, and Growth

    What truly remains in the heart of a first responder after seeing and experiencing all they have done? Join us as our special guest, Anthony Hernandez, a veteran firefighter who unveils the raw truths of a life dedicated to emergency services. From the front lines of wildland blazes to the intense demands of municipal firefighting, Anthony's career is a mosaic of courage, growth, and the relentless pursuit of balance amidst the smoldering challenges of the job.

    The weight of the badge carries more than just responsibility—it bears the heavy toll of mental health, a topic often overshadowed by the the stigma of being weak. Anthony's candid account extends into his transformative journey with Frontline Behavioral Wellness, where his personal experiences with PTSD and alcoholism illuminate the path for aiding veterans and first responders. As we share stories of camaraderie and the fortitude found in peer support, we're reminded that the mission of saving others transcends beyond the emergencies—it's also about safeguarding the minds and hearts of those who serve.

    In the echoes of the firetruck's departure, we discover tales of faith, family, and friendships that bind and heal. Anthony and Tim explore the nuanced dance between personal trauma and professional valor, where the strength of relationships and the power of faith carve a refuge from the chaos. Every shared experience, from the serenity of silence to the laughter with a friend, manifests as a beacon of hope, guiding us toward a future where first responders can embrace vulnerability as courageously as they face their jobs.

    Tattoo Artist & Longboard Surfer Stephen Sanchez

    Tattoo Artist & Longboard Surfer Stephen Sanchez

    We welcome the incredible Stephen Sanchez, whose stories of carving through Newport Beach's formidable waves on his trusty 'roller coaster' surfboard crafted by Alex Gamino set the stage for a profound exploration of the intersection between surfing and life's broader challenges. As we talk about our mutual respect for the art of shaping and the local surf scene, Stephen shares stories from the ocean's depths that serve as powerful metaphors for the personal growth and gratitude cultivated through early morning dawn patrols and navigating life's unpredictability.

    Overcoming doubt and building confidence, our guest discusses the parallels between learning to ride the waves and mastering the art of tattooing. The heartfelt stories of personal loss and the quest for inner peace resonate as we discuss the importance of embracing one's unique self and navigating the intricate tapestry of life's adversities with resilience.

    Join us for an episode that's far more than just a conversation on surfing and tattoos—it's a philosophically rich dialogue on seeking wisdom, fostering a positive mental outlook, and the search for joy amidst grief. Stephen's ethos of focusing on the present and giving one's best in each moment underpins an inspiring narrative that encourages listeners to face fears with courage, embrace their individuality, and live life to its absolute fullest.

    The Balance of Family, Ambition, and Societal Challenges

    We are back! It’s our first episode of Season 2. We talk about the complexities of balancing parenting, personal growth, and the richness of the 'now.' We unwrap the layers of these experiences in our latest season, speaking candidly about fatherhood's lessons, commemorating life's milestones like engagements within our crew, and the sweet spot of aligning our podcast format with the rhythm of our evolving lives.

    Season Two unfurls a tapestry of heartfelt dialogues, from the power of presence with family to the taxing demands of careers that can too often overshadow our personal identities. We share stories and the intense pressures faced by first responders and the quest for a balance between professional ambition and spiritual nourishment. Through our reflections, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of the intricacies of life's journey, inviting our community to ponder alongside us the delicate balance required to cherish the present while also preparing for the future.

    In this series of conversations, we also navigate the sociopolitical landscape and scrutinize California's current climate. Our commitment shines through as we discuss our First Responders Night of Hope event,  and the transformative power of community storytelling. Join us as we step into these honest spaces, seeking to inspire, connect, and offer a beacon of hope to our listeners through the shared language of our lived experiences.
