In today's episode we bring you one of the most inspiring stories to ever grace our podcast, the great and powerful Jeremy Johnson! Jeremy's upbringing in small town Illinois in a trailer park fueled his fire to escape his surroundings and make something of himself. Through martial arts, he learned discipline and persistence and was able to parlay these qualities into becoming a decorated fight commentator, cut man, father, husband, and entrepreneur with multiple products and services under his belt. Join us as we sip his FANTASTIC Uppercut Whiskey and talk about why where you being does not define you. It's what you do with your life that matters.

Once again we have our good friend Matt Dickens joining us on the show today! Matt was one of our first guests back when our show was still in single digits and being filmed in Zach's spare bedroom. Since then, Matt has had his daughter and began rediscovering his faith in a higher power, realizing that life without purpose is aimless and without that structure - we tend to fall to a lower frequency. Join us as we gab about mortgages, his vlogging series, balancing life and business and of course, lots of dad jokes!

In today's episode we have another Adventure Unknown contemporary - Nick Metz! Nick's mission in life is simple: be a good dude. Originally wanting to be a history teacher, Nick's life changed when he made his first real estate transaction in college. From there, he created his own team and eventually would pivot into what is now his main business: payment processing where Nick focuses on finding businesses and helping them accept credit card payments at low cost to the business. A funny guy with a great load of experience in business and family matters, Nick is someone we'd love to have on again and again!
