In this episode, I’m joined by Eddie, the owner and founder of My Guy Market, a New York bodega-style sandwich shop right here in Fresno, CA. We catch up on life and business, talk about the trip to New York I won with him and his business partner Floyd, and share stories like old friends do. This is Eddie’s second time on the podcast, and it was great connecting again with a fellow entrepreneur I really relate to.

This week I sat down with Brian Boucher, owner of Midstate CrossFit and former flight paramedic, to talk about the upcoming Raz N Health Fitness Festival going down September 20th at The Tarmac in Atwater. If you don't know its a fitness event where you run through historic planes at Castle Air Museum.We also dive deep into Merced, the changes happening, what it could be, and how we build a stronger, more connected community. Somewhere along the way, we break down why everything in life is just Applebee’s if you really think about it. This episode has fitness, nostalgia, small-town dreams, and Raz N Health.
