• E76 Bryan Battle & Ode Osbourne UFC! PT3 | Joe Wagner
    Aug 18 2025

    This one’s not for the faint. We sat down with Ode “The Jamaican Sensation” Osbourne and Bryan “The Butcher” Battle—two rising stars in the UFC—fresh off their visit to Napa, where they left a lasting impression on the town (and probably a few unsuspecting wine bars). Known for their explosive styles inside the cage and raw honesty outside it, these guys came ready to talk wins, losses, hustle, and what it really takes to climb the ranks of the fight world.

    From Ode’s journey from Kingston to the Octagon to Bryan’s transformation from 300+ pounds to The Ultimate Fighter champion, this episode is a no-holds-barred look at resilience, mindset, and the chaos that comes with chasing greatness. They also let us in on their next big move—a cigar brand in the works—because these two aren’t just fighters, they’re full-on entrepreneurs.

    And while we didn’t get to witness their legendary night out in downtown Napa firsthand, the stories alone made it clear—we wish we had. Add in some wine wax-dipping, a barrel racing showdown between Ode, Bryan, Joe Wagner, and Fat Mario (winner TBD 👀), and you’ve got the makings of a Go With Your Palate classic.

    Grab a glass, buckle up, and get ready for an episode full of grit, heart, and some of the wildest storytelling we’ve ever aired. This one hits different.

  • E75 Miryha Fantegrossi pt 2 | Joe Wagner
    Jul 23 2025

    This week on Go With Your Palate, we explore flavor, function, and everything in between—including a category that demands serious respect: bras. Let’s be honest—we didn’t know much about them before this episode. But thankfully, the brilliant and hilarious Miryha Fantegrossi, SVP of Merchandising & Design at Wacoal America, came ready to school us… in the best way possible.

    With over 25 years in the industry and thousands of fittings under her belt, Miryha walks us through what it really takes to create the perfect bra—yes, all 52 components of it. From fabric and fit to global sourcing and the development of Wacoal’s groundbreaking mybraFit™ digital sizing tool, she shares how innovation, empathy, and data come together to serve women of all shapes, sizes, and lifestyles.

    We dig into the journey from sketch to shelf, how real customer feedback fuels design breakthroughs, and why bras are basically NASA-level engineering meets fashion. And of course, we keep it fun: there’s talk of “breast roots,” potential wine-bra collabs, and design inspiration that doesn’t always come from Fashion Week. We also bust a few bra myths, get into pop culture moments, and reflect on what it’s like for two guys to finally learn what real support means.

    Whether you're team wired or wire-free—or just want to hear two dudes try to wrap their heads around bra science—this episode is equal parts eye-opening, laugh-inducing, and deeply inspiring. Miryha’s entrepreneurial journey and leadership in an often misunderstood category is something every innovator can learn from.

  • E74 Kemo Sabe pt 2 | Joe Wagner
    Jul 8 2025

    In this episode, we saddle up with the powerhouse trio behind luxury western brand Kemo SabeWendy Kunkle (President & Owner), Jennifer Demers (GM), and Arna Einarsdottir (VP)—to dive into their ride-or-die entrepreneurial journey. From its roots in Aspen to becoming a high-fashion staple rocked by the likes of Bella Hadid and Jeff Bezos, Kemo Sabe has transformed cowboy culture into a bold, modern movement.

    We get into how Wendy went from salesfloor grit to ownership, what it takes to craft a one-of-a-kind hat, and how this fearless crew keeps the brand authentic while growing fast. It’s a deep dive into craftsmanship, culture, and running a retail business that feels more like a lifestyle than a job.

    Of course, in true Go With Your Palate fashion, we veer into werewolf protection strategies, Icelandic wisdom, and a very experimental red-and-white wine blend known only as… Slop Bucket.

    If you love stories about building something iconic from the ground up—and doing it with a little dust, a little glitter, and a whole lot of grit—this one’s for you.

  • E73 REI Closers pt 2 | Joe Wagner
    Jun 23 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with Alex and Ben Jensen, the powerhouse brothers behind REIClosers and Caruth Brothers Real Estate, to talk all things real estate hustle—straight from the trenches. From their early days knocking doors to consistently closing $20K+ wholesale deals, the Jensens have built a standout brand by mixing serious strategy with a whole lot of personality.

    We get into how they turned cold calls into community, why adding entertainment to education is their secret sauce, and how social content has helped them connect, inspire, and level up new investors. There’s also some unfiltered fun along the way: Joe jumps in for a mock “door-to-door closer” roleplay, we hear wild tales from the field (including scoring snacks and home-cooked meals mid-deal), and yes—we talk about the real estate deal that nearly became a full-blown sitcom.

    Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just here for the laughs, this episode is packed with sharp insights, real stories, and enough charisma to close any room.
