    Episode 144: Breaking News, Again with Sydney Dishon

    Make sure to send us text message with any questions or comments! Heath and Josh reconnect with their friend Sydney Dishon for a follow-up episode that picks up right where their last conversation left off—only this time, her life looks a whole lot different. Since they last had her on the show about two years ago, Sydney has traded in Central Texas for the fast-paced world of Jacksonville, making the leap from Temple to a much bigger and more unpredictable news market. Sydney reflects on her time working at KCEN-TV, where stories often leaned lighter and more community-focused, before diving into her new role at First Coast News. She shares how covering news in Jacksonville has been a completely different experience—faster, tougher, and sometimes a bit more chaotic—forcing her to grow quickly both professionally and personally. The conversation balances the challenges with plenty of humor and heart. Sydney admits she misses the comforts of home, especially Texas BBQ and being close to friends and family, something Heath and Josh can’t resist giving her a hard time about. At the same time, she highlights the unexpected perks of Florida life—easy access to the beach, fresh seafood, and building strong friendships with her new coworkers. Looking ahead, Sydney opens up about her ambitions to continue climbing in the industry, with her sights set on eventually becoming a news anchor in a larger market. It’s a candid, relatable episode about taking risks, chasing career goals, and learning how to thrive when life takes you far from home. Thanks for listening! We are on all major podcasts platforms.

    Episode 142: The Most Unconventional Resume You’ll Ever Hear with Jason Westphal

    Make sure to send us text message with any questions or comments! Heath and Josh sit down with longtime friend and Temple native Jason Westphal for a conversation that proves life rarely follows a straight line. What starts as a typical college experience quickly takes a turn when Jason jokingly admits he somehow managed to get “blacklisted by the ladies,” prompting him to make a completely unexpected decision—joining a traveling carnival. From there, things only get wilder. Jason shares stories from the road, including the time he found himself riding camels and even ostriches as part of the carnival circuit. Eventually trading carnival life for the bright lights of Los Angeles, Jason pursued work as a Hollywood stuntman, giving him a front-row seat to the adrenaline-fueled world of film stunts. Along the way he also stepped onto the bodybuilding stage, testing his discipline and drive in competitive bodybuilding. After years of chasing unique experiences, Jason ultimately found himself back where it all started—his hometown of Temple, Texas. Now the owner of his own junk removal business, Jason reflects on the winding road that brought him home and how every strange twist along the way helped shape the life he’s built today. It’s a hilarious, unpredictable, and inspiring episode about taking chances, embracing the unexpected, and realizing that sometimes the most unconventional paths lead you exactly where you’re meant to be.

    Episode 141: Betting It All on Wings with Mike Dent

    Make sure to send us text message with any questions or comments! In this episode of Randomness, hosts Heath and Josh sit down with Temple restaurateur Mike Dent, owner of Wings Pizza N Things, for a powerful conversation about risk, resilience, and purpose. Mike shares the story of walking away from a stable corporate career to take a massive leap of faith with his wife and open their own restaurant in Temple, Texas. With no roadmap and plenty of uncertainty, they learned the business on the fly — figuring out what worked, what didn’t, and how to survive the tough early years. Mike talks candidly about the growing pains, financial stress, long hours, and the grit it took to turn hard seasons into two decades of success. Now, nearly 20 years later, that leap of faith has paid off in a big way — so much so that they’re opening a second location. Beyond business, Mike opens up about something even closer to his heart: his work with CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), supporting children in the foster care system. Having grown up in the system himself, Mike explains why giving back isn’t just community involvement — it’s personal. This episode is about betting on yourself, building something from the ground up, and using your success to make a difference where it matters most. Thanks for listening!

    Make sure to send us text message with any questions or comments! In this episode of Randomness, hosts Heath and Josh sit down with Juan Caraveo for an inspiring and eye-opening conversation about perseverance, purpose, and the world of competitive sports. Juan shares how his love for swimming began in high school and how he was determined to continue competing at the collegiate level. After graduation, he joined a swim team outside the University of Arizona with hopes of walking on to the university’s swim team. When that opportunity didn’t come to fruition, Juan made the tough decision to step away, enter the workforce, and regroup. Eventually, his passion for education and athletics led him back to school at Austin College in Sherman, Texas. From there, Juan found his calling teaching at the high school level, where he also coached swimming—pouring into the next generation of student-athletes. His commitment to the sport didn’t stop there. Driven by his love for swimming, Juan went on to start his own swim team, creating opportunities for kids who shared the same passion and drive he once had. That journey ultimately opened the door to a career with the US Anti-Doping Agency, where Juan now works to protect the integrity of sport. He gives Heath and Josh a behind-the-scenes look at how athletes are drug tested, the lengths some competitors go to try to avoid detection, and the constant evolution of anti-doping efforts. It’s a candid conversation about resilience, reinvention, and staying committed to the love of the game—even when the path doesn’t go as planned. Thanks for listening!

    Episode 137: Healing Doesn’t Always Happen in a Hospital With Jennifer Goode Windland

    Make sure to send us text message with any questions or comments! In this episode, hosts Heath and Josh sit down with their longtime friend Jennifer Windland for a candid, funny, and surprisingly grounding conversation about life on both sides of the healthcare world. Jennifer is a registered nurse with 19 years of ER experience, and she does not hold back. She shares wild, emotional, and sometimes jaw-dropping stories from the emergency room—moments that are chaotic, heartbreaking, hilarious, and deeply human. Heath and Josh react in real time, asking the questions everyone’s thinking and laughing along while also acknowledging the heavy toll that kind of work can take. From there, the conversation shifts into Jennifer’s turning point. After nearly two decades in a high-stress ER environment, she made the bold decision to step away from nursing and pursue a path focused on healing in a different way—becoming a yoga instructor. She talks openly about burnout, the need for balance, and how yoga helped her reconnect with herself while still serving others. Jennifer also dives into her new venture as a health coach, explaining what that role looks like day to day. She discusses how she helps clients build sustainable habits around movement, stress management, mindset, and overall wellness—using both her medical background and her holistic training to support people in a more personalized, preventative way. The episode is equal parts ER war stories, personal transformation, and practical wellness insight, with plenty of laughs and real talk along the way. It’s a conversation about listening to your body, redefining success, and finding healthier ways to help others—without losing yourself in the process. Thanks for listening!
