It's the holiday season baby!! Grab that net and catch that beautiful butterfly! Zach is embracing it and you all know Drew is pumped and ready for Santa! In this episode, Zach comes in hot putting Drew's Christmas enthusiasm to the test, the tables turn when Zach opens up about some tough White Elephant childhood memories and then feathers may ruffle with the last topic. Tune in!

Do you have a story you would rather not share? How about a few?? Zach and Drew decided to share a few of their own, mostly embarrassing stories from their past. A few of these stories end in stitches, and some get into the guys' extreme level of nerdiness. Listen in and feel free to judge a little...or a lot. 

What do a carrot soufflé, pecan pie, and cornbread dressing all have in common? For one, they are all delicious and two, Zach has never tasted any of them! In this week's episode, Drew may have jumped the gun on the Christmas festivities, but Zach doesn't even like Thanksgiving! Hit play to listen in on the great ham versus turkey debate and hear what the guys miss the most from pre-COVID times.

Zach and Drew relive their worst fitness experiences and tell the reason why those experiences have changed them for the better. They also shine a positive light on the seemingly dark path through injury recovery. Find out how to turn any outcome of a situation into what you choose it to be. Control your thoughts. Control your actions. Control your future.

Zach and Drew are back! The guys breakdown their last two weeks away and give a quick update on their Halloween festivities...listen in on how Drew's first make-up experience went. We also learn how Zach and Drew create genuine connections and friendships from seemingly unexpected places that end up leading to great opportunities later on. Take no relationship for granted! Enjoy!

Why is it that “would you rather” questions are never easy to answer?! Sometimes there are fun choices on either side but of course Zach and Drew don't take it easy on one another. Once the guys finish mulling over what they'd rather, the topic shifts to a fear our audience has mentioned a few times: public speaking. Zach bestows his advice or his “Eganisms” on Drew and subsequently their listeners regarding the matter. Press play to hear what wisdom and tips these 20-somethings have to share.

The idea of this episode was actually conceived on a coffee walk. During their little morning meander, the guys got to brainstorming and googling and somehow landed on fears and phobias! The spooky ‘casts continue! The best part is that Zach and Drew or may not be able to relate to a few of these and they may even be as scary as a bad Tinder date!

Tinder is how people meet apparently, Bumble has ladies makin' the first moves, and Hinge is the app to be deleted don'chya know! Our very own Zach has tried them all and he's finally ready to open up about his experiences! Drew maybe has a little too much fun asking Zach about his dating app blunders and the guys bring Drew's girlfriend in to give a little female perspective on the whole dating thing... You're gonna wanna grab a venti and go for a little bit longer of a walk for this one ;)

Episode 15 is upon us! To say that Zach is excited about Halloween is a bit of an understatement. Drew is mostly excited about Christmas being that much closer now that we are officially in fall. There are still two holidays before any halls can be decked though, so all things pumpkin and haunted first. All October episodes will be some sort of Halloween theme. Tune into the first haunting ‘sode and find out who's making the kids cry, and what costumes Drew and Zach are most proud of.

Who's ready to get moving!   Zach and Drew are in their element as they discuss the most commonly asked gym questions...and the answers will surprise you! Listen in as the guys debunk myths about weight loss, calorie counting, and even sweating to help clear the path for healthier habits and a better overall fitness lifestyle. 

Lucky number 13 Y'all asked and Drew and Zach answered! The audience was given the platform to ask the guys questions, and/or provide topics of their own. Take a listen to hear what was thrown out and what Zach and Drew's answers were.

After Drew and Zach fuel up on coffee and breakfast cake, they are ready for episode 12! Sugared and caffeinated, the guys cover multiple topics spanning personal pet peeves and time wasters to each of their most hated foods. Tune in to find out what these fitness pros really enjoy eating, and where one can find the elusive “canola animal”.

If the definition of a regret is a "loss or missed opportunity" which is no longer present, what would your regrets be? Are they truly regrets in the sense that you cannot correct course currently? Drew and Zach dive into their biggest regrets in this episode and it may, if you have had your coffee today, stir up some retrospective thoughts of your own.  Mid-episode, before the conversations turn to Zach's undies, Drew drops this golden thought nugget: "Even knowing that you don't like it is better than not knowing if you will." Tune in to hear the whole story...

 Between Zach's hometown of Santa Cruz, and Drew's hometown of Lake Charles, the guys have front row seats to the destructive power of the forces of nature.  All this topsy-turvydom gives way to the incredible power of humans and their capacity for compassion and community.  The guys share a bit about the unity they are witnessing and they are in on the action as well.  It wouldn't be a true Coffee Walks episode though without Drew and Zach inspiring some smiles and laughs, so tune in for a little comedic relief and listen in on their most embarrassing stories to date. 

"You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with" -Jim Rohn. Seeing as how you all might not know Zach and Drew's real life circles of 5, the guys put some thought into their celebrity circle of 5.  Some of the names on the roster may surprise you, others you might have guessed. 

The origins of the caffeinated walks and real talks for Zach and Drew can be traced back to coping with and navigating breakups.  That's where they begin episode 8 and it gets pretty interesting... Then, true to form, the guys deviate from breakups, visit a couple other topics and eventually find themselves landing on recreational space vacations.

Reunited and it feels so good! Drew and Zach have been apart for two whole weeks! Don't worry, they persevered. In this episode the dynamic duo go from chatting about their vacations past and future, to staying positive in a negative world...which somehow leads them to matted seagulls and gas station snacks.

Join Zach and Drew as they explore the career and mentality of special guest, Kendra Sato. She coaches coaches, is a fitness and lifestyle model, and is working on her own passion project too. She explains how self service is usually a networking motivator, but genuine relationships often yield much higher benefits often unforeseen. Listen in as we uncover the day to day routine of a model, and get into the details of Kendra and Drew's first official meeting.

What do Taylor Swift, Dwayne Johnson, Oprah, and that chick who sings "Dance Monkey" all have in common? How long does it take a G-6 to get from Santa Cruz to ski worthy mountains in Japan?
