This week on Eggs, we have special guest J. Massey. J. is an author, speaker, and coach who teaches those he encounters how to build a short-term investment business by way of his amazing rags-to-riches story. On the show, he talks with Ryan and Mike about his experience from nearly living on the streets to developing a multi-million dollar business. As he tells his story he shares useful, actionable insights, and goes deep sharing with listeners practical information that they can apply in their own lives to build something from nothing in the short-term rental real estate market. We had a wonderful conversation, learned a lot—and you will too. Take a listen, then rate, like, share and subscribe!
What's in store…
Jay's background and how he got started in real estate: 2:03 - 10:28
How Jay transitioned from traditional real estate to short-term rentals: 10:28 - 13:20
The profit margins you can expect from short-term rentals: 13:20 - 14:00
Factors to consider when choosing a property for short-term rentals: 14:00 - 15:00
The tools and resources Jay provides to help people get started with short-term rentals: 15:00 - 17:00
How to approach landlords when you want to turn their property into a short-term rental: 42:20 - 44:48
Key takeaways:
Anyone can get started in real estate investing, even if you have no money or experience. Jay's story is a testament to this. He started out with nothing after a personal tragedy and went on to build a successful real estate portfolio.
There are different strategies for real estate investing. Jay shared his experience with wholesaling, fix-and-flip, and short-term rentals.
Short-term rentals can be a great way to get started in real estate investing. They are relatively low-risk and can be profitable even with small properties.
The key to success in real estate investing is to take action. Jay emphasizes the importance of not hesitating and moving quickly to get started.

This week on Eggs Classics, we have the wildly-talented singer-songwriter Desi Valentine. On a recent tour stop in SLC we were able to get an hour with Desi backstage to talk about where he's been, where he's at, and where he's headed. We talked about growing up in the UK, finding his inspiration, his time on the West End (London's "Broadway") as a theater performer, playing the O2 arena with Elton John, touring with the likes of Blondie and Andra Day, finding success in TV, making the jump across the pond and finding his voice, and so much more. Really fun and interesting conversation. We were thrilled to have him on the show and guarantee that after our chat he's sure to be your new favorite singer, as he is ours!

Welcome to Eggs! the Podcast, featuring the best and brightest minds in business leadership, entrepreneurship, and technology.
Today, we are thrilled to have Alan Siebenaler, a 22-year veteran real estate agent and investor. To say that Alan’s investing career has been an easy one would be a flat-out lie. Over the years, Alan has managed to survive a hurricane that nearly destroyed a 48-unit property in Texas, took on gangs at his affordable housing project in Chicago, and so much more. However, despite the many challenges, his real estate investments have paid off big, achieving single transaction profits of over $1 million.
Today he will be sharing his secrets on how to take advantage of the market as a real estate investor — even when the market sucks, seller financing and creative financing tips for buying properties without banks, and how to retire in five years with real estate investing. Get ready to learn from one of the best in the business. Join us in welcoming to the show, Alan Siebenaler.

Welcome to Eggs! the Podcast, featuring the best and brightest minds in business leadership, entrepreneurship, and technology. Today's guest is Kurt Uhlir, a leading product visionary and expert on the speed of change in technology, who has traveled coast-to-coast advising high-growth companies on how to thrive in the age of disruption.
Kurt's non-linear career path started when his father brought home an Apple IIgs, which led him to become an early hacker and hustler.

Welcome back to Eggs! This week's special guest is equal parts CEO, part personal development wonk, part biohacker info geek, and serial entrepreneur. Our guest is none other than Thom King. While his list of favorite books contains many success-oriented and personal-development classics, the traditional definition of achieving success isn't what motivates Thom. He follows more of a “you aren’t doing well unless you’re also doing some good” line of thinking. Consequently, his company, Icon Foods, has been built around the simple principle of “do the right thing.” Here to talk about becoming a successful entrepreneur, building a business, starting with "why," and how to make a big impact. Please join us in welcoming Thom King to the show.
This was an amazing show, and we're thrilled to re-share this episode of Eggs! Classics.

Hey everybody, and welcome back to Eggs! Today's special guest is cybersecurity thought leader Christian Espinosa.
Christian is the best-selling author of the popular book, The Smartest Person in the Room, an entrepreneur, a cybersecurity engineer, a certified high-performance coach, professor, and lover of heavy metal music and spicy food. He’s also an Air Force veteran and Ironman triathlete.
Christian used to value being the “smartest guy in the room,” only to realize that his greatest contribution to the fight against cybercrime is his ability to bring awareness to the issue through effective communication and leadership training — something not always available to the high-IQ people building the systems. He has made it his focus, through his coaching, speaking, and training, to make the smartest people in the room also the best leaders in the space.
Joining the show today for a conversation about his entrepreneurial journey, why we are losing the cybersecurity war, how to handle a team made up of “smartest people in the room,” developing emotional intelligence and so much more. Please join us in welcoming to the show, Christian Espinosa.

Hey everybody and welcome back to Eggs! Today we have special guest — the founder and CEO of Profasee — Chad Rubin.
Chad is a lifelong entrepreneur. In 2008 he decided to set up his first eCommerce shop — Crucial vacuum — selling vacuum cleaner parts out of his garage. It was a great success! It wasn’t long before that site exploded from just one to thousands of different SKUs, but that experience showed Chad one thing. Due to a lack of proper technology to manage their growth — and thousands of products — their warehouse became an absolute jungle to manage. To solve his own problem, Chad created Skubana, which went on to become one of the most powerful operations platforms in e-commerce.
On the back of the Skubana platform, Crucial Vacuum evolved from selling vacuum cleaner parts exclusively to covering all the replacement parts for your home. It also got a new name — Think Crucial. Skubana was eventually acquired by 3PL central, and in addition to the continued success of Think Crucial, in 2021 Chad launched his latest venture — Profasee. Profasee is a platform that enables Amazon resellers to dynamically predict the perfect price and the perfect moment for the products they sell using AI and comprehensive data management.
Joining us today for a conversation about his entrepreneurial journey, starting, scaling, and selling businesses, the state of eCommerce and so much more. Please join us in welcoming to the show, Chad Rubin.

Hey everyone, and welcome back to Eggs. This week we have Emmy award-winning camera operator turned entrepreneur Howie Zales.
With over 25 years of television experience, Howie created HJZ productions in 2000 to address the need for a professional sports broadcasting crew and staff in the New York Market. Under his leadership, HJZ grew and became a nationwide provider of top talent in broadcasting and a multi-million dollar organization.
In 2019 Howie formed a new company, Viridity Entertainment Services or VES, with a primary focus on broadcast staffing in non-union markets. However, in response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, they rapidly pivoted to become a provider of best-in-class broadcast quality live streaming solutions for sports shows and interviews, corporate events, and religious services. Additionally, Howie launched the much-acclaimed TV Sports Course, a hands-on boot camp designed to train the next generation of television production professionals.
Joining us today for a conversation about the lessons learned in 25 years of entertainment production, where Livestream broadcast events will figure into our post-pandemic landscape, the experience of building, not just one but two very successful organizations, and so much more. Please join us in welcoming to the show, Howie Zales.

Since that time, Ian’s journey took a turn for the entrepreneurial. , While finishing his Master's internship as a social work counselor when COVID-19 hit, he and his fellow interns transitioned to remote counseling using video-conferencing technology, but they quickly discovered the quality of the relationships they’d built with their patients was beginning to suffer.
Ian stumbled upon the simple fact that the screen edge cameras commonly used today created a “focal dilemma.” A major part of interpersonal communication relies on making and sustaining eye contact, ut nearly every built-in webcam makes that very challenging. That insight birthed Center Cam, a webcam that hangs to the center of your screen, allowing you to look right into the eyes of the person you are talking with online. It was a simple fix to an important problem.
Joining us today to talk about his exciting new invention, the challenges he had to overcome in producing a technology-driven product amidst a global pandemic, and how he manages to raise more than 2.2 million dollars for his idea by crowdsourcing on IndieGogo. Please join us in welcoming back friend of the show, Ian Foster.

Hey everybody and welcome to another exciting episode of Eggs. Today’s special guest is Andrew Ryder. Andrew is an entrepreneur and leadership consultant, advisor to tech giants, government entities, and the fortune 500. He’s also an author and an expert on creating valuable content that works, fueling your business.
After leaving school where he triple-majored in chemical engineering, applied physics, and chemistry, he set out on an entrepreneurial adventure. However, Andrew quickly soured on the run-of-the-mill, opportunistic, and click-baity content he saw running rampant online and abruptly turned his focus to an exploration of ethical leadership. From his efforts, he uncovered the idea of a future where aspiring entrepreneurs are equipped with the skills and strategies to grow their businesses ethically and lead their audiences forward. A future where the incentives of the coach or company are aligned with the incentives of the student or client.
Joining us today for an important discussion on topics spanning from self-leadership as an approach to unlocking personal potential, creating a content engine that will ignite a fire under your business, the value of being a vulnerable leader, and so much more!

Hey everyone and welcome back to Eggs. This week we have special guest, SEO wizard, and entrepreneur, Vikas Singal. Also known as Sam, Vikas is the creator of SamBlogs a digital marketing firm based in India. Unlike your typical SEO agency, SamBlogs creates a unique experience for their clients that addresses their challenges and caters to their business needs with clarity, simplicity, experience, and most importantly honesty.
From a small village in India, and with a background in mechanical engineering, Vikas has long been entrepreneurial. In 2008, he started his first marketing agency in Mumbai but unfortunately — or fortunately — it failed. It was a devastating blow, but also became one of the most profound learning experiences in his life.
Just a few years later Vikas discovered digital marketing and realized he’d found his calling. Working independently at first, then rapidly growing, he discovered he had a unique understanding of SEO — or search engine optimization. He developed his knowledge and in short order launched SamBlogs, which has become one of the top digital marketing agencies in India.
It’s been a wild ride, and we can’t wait to dig in. Joining us today for a conversation about the importance of blogging in a company's SEO strategy, things that any business can do to improve their SEO today, how to know where your business stands currently from an SEO perspective, and so much more. Please join us in welcoming to the show Vikas Singal.

Hey everybody, welcome back to an insightful episode of Eggs! Today’s special guest is Bew White. Bew is the chairman of the board at Gabriella White — along with its family of brands — Summer Classics, Gabby, and Wendy Jane.
Bew graduated from Auburn University in 1972 with a degree in textile engineering, then went to work for Avondale Mills — his family-owned textile manufacturer. After 6-years, at just 28 years old, Bew left the nest and founded his own company, Vista Corporation, specializing in selling outdoor furniture. Keep in mind that this was at a time when “outdoor furniture” was thought of as little more than a table and chairs left on the deck.
After a series of wins — and losses — Bew set to work on expansion hoping to take his business from selling furniture on the road to a national brand. His idea, Summer Classics, was built on a consumer-driven approach of manufacturing the kind of products that would stand the test of time and never go out of style. This concept panned out and his company officially took flight in 1987.
Since then, Bew has received numerous awards, including a lifetime achievement award from the International Casual Furnishings Association, and has become the subject of a well-received biography — A Summer Classic: The Bew White Story — written by Christopher Taunton.
Joining us today for a conversation about his standout career in the outdoor furniture industry, what it means to live a truly successful life, how to thrive in turbulent times, and of course, about his book. Please join us in welcoming to the show, Bew White.

This is where John steps in. On a personal mission to help entrepreneurs avoid burnout, John helps them discover work/life balance and shows them how to increase their cash immediately so they can have more confidence in their choices and ultimately become financially resilient. Joining us today for a discussion about choosing the right tax structure to save thousands on taxes, cash flow management, how and when to grow and scale your business, and so much more, please join us in welcoming to the show John Briggs.

Hey everybody, welcome back to eggs. Today's special guest is sales and mindset coach Isaac Ho. Isaac has pioneered an approach to coaching that not only addresses sales and mindset skills but also includes an emotional and physical health aspect that has helped his clients achieve double to triple their income while maintaining peace of mind both inside and outside of their business.
From his early days as a 17-year-old health coach at the YMCA to owning his own gym at 22, always the consummate professional, he developed a passion for helping people achieve what he called unsolvable problems. He’s discovered that a key factor in achieving goals is being mentally and physically healthy, and that is every bit as important as skill development. He has committed his life to moving entrepreneurs out of overwhelm and fatigue, helping them instead to create lifestyles of freedom and joy.
Joining us today for a conversation with topics ranging from overcoming burnout and mastering high-ticket sales, to building a 7-figure business without sacrificing your physical or mental well-being. Please join us in welcoming to the show, Isaac Ho.

Here to talk about his experience in the business, financial literacy, and more — both during and after the coronavirus crisis — is our guest, John Stoj (pronounced Stoy).

Hey everybody I’m Ryan and welcome back to Eggs! This week we have a unique episode for you going back in time to feature one of my favorite interviews from the past. Why you ask? For people who didn’t catch last week's show, for the next little bit, approximately 12 weeks, we’re going to be doing things a little differently. As discussed at length on last week’s show, my favorite co-host and yours, Mike, has begun and is now up to his eyeballs in an exciting new adventure. Mike is presently taking part in a super-intensive web development Bootcamp as part of a big career pivot he’s exploring. Off-air he and I have talked and he’s explained he’s presently programming from 10 AM to midnight, between classwork and homework, and recording this show at our regular cadence simply isn’t doable for him.
That said, we are working diligently to put together some fun programming for you and take advantage of this break in our regularly scheduled program. More on that in the coming weeks, but let’s chat about today's drop. Today we are going way back in time to July 2019 for one of my all-time favorite interviews with the author, speaker, and philanthropist, Michael G. Dash. Michaels story is one wrought with ups and downs from drug and gambling addiction to building multimillion-dollar businesses. At the time he appeared in-person on Eggs from our downtown Salt Lake City studio, he was promoting his book Chasing the High which details his story in all of its gritty details all so that those he encounters or works with as part of his F.A.T.E. Program, can learn from his experience.
I am really excited to share this show with new listeners who may have missed it, and even more for those OGs who have heard it but could benefit from hearing it again. So, without further adieu, join me in going all the way back to a pre-COVID world, July 11, 2019, for a conversation with Michael G. Dash. Let’s go!
Hey everyone, welcome back to a special edition of EGGS. This week we have special guest Michael G. Dash. Michael Dash is an entrepreneur, business owner, author, speaker, coach, and philanthropist available for speaking engagements, both for young people and for active professionals. Michael has had a collection of unique experiences from “chasing the high” with his prior gambling and drug addiction to overcoming adversity when his business partner conspired against him.
Despite these challenges, Michael persevered and built a thriving business bringing in $5+ million dollars in revenue each year. Michael’s experiences give him a unique mindset that he imparts to audiences to help them lead their best life personally and professionally. Welcome our guest author of the new book, Chasing the High, Michael G. Dash

Hey there and welcome back to a very exciting episode of EGGS! Today's special guest is world-renowned turntablist and DJ, Q-Bert.
Q-Bert, not to be confused with the jumpy orange fellow, is widely acknowledged as one of the most innovative turntablists in the world. The San Francisco-born DJ has pioneered several highly complex scratching techniques (including the infamous crab scratch), with a heavy emphasis on rapid, percussive movements as well as conceptual usage of spoken word samples. In addition to proper albums and mixtapes, he's released countless DJ battle tool records and instructional videos, as well as launching an online DJ school.
Q-Bert is without a doubt an innovator and OG in the space, and to be honest, there are simply too many accolades to list them all here, so let's just get on with it, shall we? Please join us in welcoming to the show, the incredible, the talented, Q-Bert.

Hey there and welcome back to Eggs. Today's guest is Ammonia and Alternative energy expert Greg Vezina.
This episode is a unique one for us in that it is a match that was totally inspired by the Eggs community. In recent months we have featured other alternative Energy Experts on the podcast including Andrew Murphey and Dr. Amit Roy to name a couple. Due to an outsized and unexpected reaction to those particular episodes by our community we've received a number of emails with more questions about the future of energy.
One such email came from listener Karim who sent this message, in part: "Dear Eggs, My name is Karim and I have a question: What do you think of ammonia cars? Because there's a Youtube video about a 1981 Chevrolet Impala that had its V8 engine converted to run on ammonia, which is a mix of hydrogen with a little nitrogen, which makes the exhaust pipe cleaner and it's far cheaper than gasoline?"
The video he's referring to, as he continued in his note, was created in 2006 by CBC News in Canada and was later run internationally on CNN, featuring today's guest showcasing his then cutting edge technology. Indulge us for a second while we run the tape...
As you can see, even then, today's guest lived on the vanguard of Ammonia technology and the future of energy and is still a prominent leader in the space.
Thank you Karim for your note, and thanks to the community for making this connection happen. Joining us today for a lively discussion about Ammonia, hydrogen, and our world's energy future, please join us in welcoming to the show, Greg Vezina.

Hey there and welcome back to Eggs! This week we have special guest, founder, and CEO of Mindful Money, Jonathan DeYoe. Jonathan has an interesting story to tell. Emerging from Rapid City, South Dakota, and being raised in a family that was less than financially secure, he developed an interest in financial education early, making his first stock trades at 9 years old with the money he’d made mowing yards and doing odd jobs.
After leaving college he worked for several years in large San Francisco-based Wall Street financial firms like Morgan Stanley and PaineWebber, but after what could only be described as a negative experience in many of these firms Jonathan decided to make a change and go solo. He launched his firm in 2001 with a focus on independent financial advice and an unparalleled client experience service.
Joining us today to discuss getting started with financial planning, please join us in welcoming to the show our guest Jonathan DeYoe.

In the heat of summer, schedules grow tighter, and on the occasional week where Mike and I cannot get together, like this week, we want to share content that newer listeners may have missed from our amazing back catalog and revisit guests and conversations that we think are worth hearing again.
We really value the support of the Eggs community and each week strive to reward the newbies and OGs with content sure to enrich your lives with relevant information and topics chosen to help you achieve whatever it is you hope to. So, without any further adieu please join me in this special re-presentation of episode number 113, from July 18, 2019, philanthropist, artist, and fine artist, Keegan Hall.
On this week's episode of Eggs, we have a very special guest Keegan Hall. Keegan is a world-class illustrator, fine artist, and philanthropist who has raised more than $400,000 for charity with his art. Well known for his Seattle-centric sports art Keegan has also done photorealistic pencil art for numerous well-known musicians, athletes, and at least one former president. In addition to his impressive illustrative chops, he is an experienced businessman and entrepreneur who only after a successful exit and a personal tragedy found his way back into the art world where he now uses the money generated by his art to support his charitable interests. He's a really interesting and multifaceted guy and we think you'll gain a lot from the conversation. Give it a listen—then rate, share, like and subscribe.

Hey everybody, this week on Eggs we take you on a little walk down memory lane that was literally 10 years in the making. We had the opportunity to sit down with our old friends Curtis Casey and Bill Delrieu, singer and bass player for the international rock music phenomenon, Phoenix, Arizona-based Vayden.
Who knew it would ever work out but the moons literally aligned and we found ourselves in a room in downtown SLC reminiscing about the Phoenix, AZ rock scene circa 2005 — which was on-point BTW — building a following, concert and show promotion, Mike and Ryan's history in Phoenix and beyond, trials and tribulations of the music business and a rise to international success. This episode is a real feel-good-fest and we're excited to share the reunion with you guys. Tune in and turn up! Rate, like, share and subscribe!

Welcome back to Eggs! This week we have a special guest Nicholas Prouten. Nick is an expert in blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies and an ambassador for the Lode One project, a platform that facilitates the purchase of digital tokens which unlike many others is backed by physical assets like gold and silver. Through their “coins,” LODE, AUX, and AGX investors are able to buy, sell, and trade digital equivalents of real bullion as easily as spending traditional FIAT currency.
Nick has a diverse background having been fortunate enough to have worked in a broad range of industries including cybersecurity, gaming, real estate, and entertainment, all that have set him up well for the work he does now with Blockchain technology and Cryptocurrencies. As a result of his diverse experience, he has developed a powerful set of skills to fit almost any situation and project. Here to breakdown the complex and often misunderstood topic of blockchain technology, what bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies actually are, and his assertion that the future of crypto will be stable, asset-backed, and collateralized by assets like gold and silver, please join us in welcoming to the show, Nicholas Prouten.

Welcome back to the 200th episode of Eggs! To celebrate this milestone, we are thrilled to have our special guest, the revolutionary DJ Rob Swift. Born and raised in what would become the epicenter of hip-hop, Jackson Heights, Queens, Rob started his DJing at the young age of 12, influenced by his brother and father, DJs themselves. His education continued on the streets of 1980s New York City where he was exposed to all kinds of music from funk and jazz to old DJs like Grandmaster Flash and Grand Wizard Theodore. In 1991, Rob’s career kicked into overdrive when he joined the groundbreaking turntablist crew, the X-men, AKA the X-Ecutioners along with fellow legendary DJs Roc Raida, Total Eclipse, and Mista Sinista. He also won the DMC east coast title that year. In addition to working with everyone from Linkin Park to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rob appeared as the resident DJ on ESPNU and has achieved an unheard-of level of mainstream success. Today, he is still producing music, including his latest drop, For heads that break, with Shawneci Icecold in 2021, in addition to his popular blog, and education programs which are teaching the next generation of DJs how to master the trade. Here to talk about growing up a kid in 70 and 80s NYC, his incredible DJ career, the effect of COVID on the profession, the future of DJing and live music, and so much more, please join us in welcoming to the show, DJ Rob Swift.

It's that time of year again. A time to give thanks and express our gratitude to the Eggs community for all the support this year. We know 2020 has been a monster for so many but we have been blessed to have been able to continue producing this show despite adversity and with an onslaught of incredible guests no less! To celebrate the day, Mike and Ryan get together for the first show they've done without a guest this year! It was a great conversation about the year so far, trips and travels, the evils of social media, and so much more. It was a lot of fun and we're excited to share it with our extended Eggs family. Rate, like, share, and subscribe ya'll. Oh… and have an amazing holiday. :)

Welcome back to Eggs. Todays guests are Joey Mure and Russ Morgan. They are partners at Wealth Without Wallstreet, a firm that provides financial insight and tools to break free of the mindset and bondage of Wall Street. Joey started his career in the mortgage business in 2003. Quickly growing to become a branch manager with one of the Nation's top mortgage lenders leading 25 loans officers. By 2010 he had achieved national recognition. However, despite earning an impressive income he still had significant questions about how to save for the future without having to borrow from banks. Later that year, Joey met Russ Morgan, his now partner, who shared the Infinite Banking Concept and everything changed. Infinite banking allowed Joey to get completely out of debt besides paying off his mortgage, he started saving four times the amount he had previously been saving, and now had a clear plan of how to save for all our life's expenses without giving up retirement savings. Joey and Russ co-founded a company called Wealth Without Wall Street and together they teach people to stop trading time for money to achieve financial freedom by following their 5 Pillars. Here to talk about all that and more, please join me in welcoming our guests, Joey Mure and Russ Morgan.

Welcome back to Eggs! This week's special guest is equal parts CEO, part personal development wonk, part biohacker info geek, and serial entrepreneur. Our guest is none other than Thom King. While his list of favorite books contains many success-oriented and personal-development classics, the traditional definition of achieving success isn't what motivates Thom. He follows more of a “you aren’t doing well unless you’re also doing some good” line of thinking. Consequently, his company, Icon Foods, has been built around the simple principle of “do the right thing.” Here to talk about becoming a successful entrepreneur, building a business starting with "why" and how to make a big impact, please join us in welcoming Thom King to the show.

On this week's very special episode of Eggs, we have the legendary Randy "Yukon Smitty" Smith. For those of you who may or may not have noticed, our very own co-host Mike spent much of the summer in Nome, Alaska. While in Nome, Mike was introduced to Smitty who is an absolute legend in the mining industry. After some discussion, the two decided to sit down for a little interview to learn more about the guy who might actually be the real "world's most interesting man." In what ended up being a 4.5 hour conversation (a new Eggs show record only slightly beating out John Edney of OPM fame! [Episodes 62 & 63]) Smitty broke down the many lives he's lived, from Skunk Works to mining in the Bering Sea. It was an amazing chat, and in our view it was worthy of sharing in its entirety with our audience. It's not every day you get to meet someone so interesting. Break it up on your commute, or crush the whole thing road tripping, either way, you aren't going to want to miss this. So, please join us in welcoming to the show, the legendary Randy "Yukon Smitty" Smith!

Hey there and welcome back to Eggs. Today's special guest is Dr. Glenn Livingston. Dr. Livingston is a veteran psychologist and was the long time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and food obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most importantly, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food. Here to talk about putting a stop to overeating, stress eating, binge eating and learning to stick to any diet, his alternative approach to eating disorders, and how to reprogram yourself to think like a permanently thin person please join me in welcoming our guest Dr. Glenn Livingston to the show.

Overcoming incarceration as a young man and working his way up the ladder at the largest financial consulting firm in the world gave him business notoriety and financial success. He was Senior Partner, International Practice Leader, and Member of the Board of Directors. He looked successful on the outside, but was crumbling on the inside and almost lost everything. Tommy made the choice to transform his life and follow his true calling and he's here to tell us all about it. Join us in an uplifting and motivational podcast with our guest, Tommy Breedlove.

On this week's episode of Eggs we have very special guest Keegan Hall. Keegan is a world-class illustrator, fine artist and philanthropist who has raised more than $400,000 for charity with his art. Well known for his Seattle-centric sports art Keegan has also done photorealistic pencil art for numerous well-know musicians, athletes and at least one former president. In addition to his impressive illustrative chops he is an experienced businessman and entrepreneur who only after a successful exit and a personal tragedy found his way back into the art world where he now uses the money generated by his art to support his charitable interests. He's a really interesting and multifaceted guy and we think you'll gain a lot from the conversation. Give it a listen—then rate, share, like and subscribe.

This week on Eggs we have special guest Eric Friedensohn AKA Efdot. Efdot is an NYC-based, internationally known muralist and illustrator known for his unique illustrative style. We met Eric at Creative South, the creative conference in Columbus, Georgia which has come up on this show more than once in recent shows. Eric was in Salt Lake City presenting at the LetterWest Conference and was gracious enough to take a quick moment to hang with the Eggs show. The show was quick and dirty, done moments before headed to the airport to catch a flight, but lots of fun and great jiffy chat. Looking forward to going longer form on a future show.

Eek… Sorry we're late! Traveling hiccup. But, nonetheless this episode is much anticipated and better late than never. It's been more than 15 episodes since Ryan and Mike had time to catch up and do a solo-show, but finally at long last it's happened again. This week we have no guest, but no shortage of things to talk about. We discuss the creative conference Ryan attended back in April, further his recent Santa Monica run and kick-it session with The Futur's Chris Do and the world famous Johnny Cupcakes (Earle) himself. Lots of great stuff in there. Oh, and did we mention that Mike spent a couple days with the Princess of Norway? Sounds like a joke, but it's not. You're not going to want to miss this one… even if we're a solid week late publishing! Tune in and turn it up! Rate, like, share and subscribe.

Welcome back to another fun-filled episode of Eggs! This week is the first live show Mike and Ryan have done together since the first of the year so the guys took a little time to break down the holidays and the post-holiday fun. Additionally we officially announce The Carton—the new platform where you can find our latest written musings. Our first featured article is an interview we did with founder of Straight Method, Zack Chmeis. But the hits don't stop coming! We close the show with an interview we did last summer with Rico Estrada, singer and songwriter from the LA-based band Ease Up. We've been sitting on this gem for some time now but felt like this was the moment to let it rip! Take a listen won't you? You'll be glad you did.

I met him briefly, or I should say he came into my awareness at the often discussed WMC fest in Cleveland where Jamal was a keynote speaker. Jamal is well-known graphic designer, speaker and perennial podcast guest, but he’s probably better known for the amazing work he does in his community. After years of decline and hardship in Cleveland Jamal set out to create a program that offers graphic design training to underprivileged children in the hardest hit parts of town. A Cleveland native, he has dedicated his life to rebuilding the city that he loves and giving opportunity those who might not otherwise have it. He is a truly inspirational figure and we are grateful to have him on the show, ladies and gents, let's give a warm welcome Designer, Educator, Mentor and Community Advocate Jamal Collins.

Hey everybody, this week on Eggs we take you on a little walk down memory lane that was literally 10 years in the making. We had the opportunity to sit down with our old friends Curtis Casey and Bill Delrieu, singer and bass player for the international rock music phenomenon, Phoenix, Arizona-based Vayden.
Who knew it would ever work out but the moons literally aligned and we found ourselves in a room in downtown SLC reminiscing about the Phoenix, AZ rock scene circa 2005 — which was on-point BTW — building a following, concert and show promotion, Mike and Ryan's history in Phoenix and beyond, trials and tribulations of the music business and a rise to international success. This episode is a real feel-good-fest and we're excited to share the reunion with you guys. Tune in and turn up! Rate, like, share and subscribe!

Welcome back to the second round of our EGGS exclusive two-part conversation with John Edney, AKA John E. Necro, singer, songwriter and founding member of the world famous music group OPM. After a stratospheric rise to fame there was a cataclysmic fall going from literally top of the world to enduring break-ups and personnel shifts, finding their home on a smaller label and overcoming the harsh realities of the music business. We also talk about the future of the band, Jiu-Jitsu and starting a business—Tarantula Hill Brewing Co.—a new craft-beer brewery and restaurant coming later this year to Thousand Oaks, California.
Because of the epic, long-form nature of this discussion we not only broke our conversation into two episodes but we've left it largely in its raw, unedited form for your enjoyment. Wether you are one of OPM's millions of global fans or this is the first time you've heard of them, either way you're going to love this. You aren't going to want to miss this epic conclusion of the two-part series brought to you by your friends at EGGS live from MNO Studios in Marina Del Rey, California.

Bcause of the long-form nature of this discussion we not only broke our conversation into two episodes but we've left it largely in its raw, unedited form for your enjoyment. Wether you are one of OPM's millions of global fans or this is the first time you've heard of them, either way you're going to love this. Its a wild ride, so buckle up and get ready for part one in a two-part series from your friends at EGGS live from MNO Studios in Marina Del Rey, California.

Happy anniversary! 52 weeks ago we began Eggs with the mission of exploring creativity and how it applies to all the many things we do. Since then, we have talked to experts in business, advertising, radio, music, entertainment, cooking and so much more. It really has been quite a journey. For those of you who have been with us since the beginning, thank you dearly from the bottom of our hearts. And for the many, many more who have joined us along the way allow me to express our deepest gratitude for your continued support. With all that said, we're wrapping up our first year with a real humdinger. This week we have Founder and CEO at Treehouse, Ryan Carson. Ryan is an incredibly generous person and was willing to give us an hour to discuss a wide gamut of subjects with us including getting his start in tech, building his online education platform Treehouse from the root up (now with nearly 200K students worldwide), building a professional network and punishing our kids with burpees. It was a fun, candid conversation full of practical information. Tune in and turn up and consider your life changed. You're welcome! ;) Here's to another year!

This week on Eggs co-hosts Mike and Ryan sit down and get caught up. After weeks and weeks of start-studded interviews we had a guest reschedule so it gave us an opportunity to sit down and just chat. Doesn't seem like it, but its been a minute. This gave us the opportunity to chat about Mike's recent roadtrip to Seattle and a string of great shows. Also, Ryan has relaunched his streetwear brand, Restless, so we went behind the scenes and talked about ecommerce, marketing online and other things learned during the re-launch.

In the fourth installment of the EGGS show - Int'l Edition, we drill deep on the subject of language learning. Ryan is in the middle of a five week intensive language program in Spain and Mike to has a lot of experience on the subject from a past life. With that in mind it seemed like a good time to explore the topic and discuss methods and practices that can help you on your way to becoming a polyglot. We experienced a few technical difficulties in the production of this show as Mike was recording from a campsite in the middle of nowhere.
