Richest Men in Town

In This Episode:Fans and listeners of the Richest Men in Town are in for a treat as Mike and Tyler welcome Jeremy Mhire to the program. Jeremy comes to the program through a couple of degrees of separation. To make a long story short, Jeremy owns the Proximal Strength Gym in Springfield, Missouri but for Jeremy and his community, Proximal Strength is so much more than a gym. It's his way of empowering lives. Their mission is to build and strengthen lives through fitness and community. With his team, they are committed to daily mental, physical, and spiritual growth. And that just so happens to line up with the Richest Men in Town podcast is all about. Jeremy is a warrior. He is all about strength from the core and for him that means giving his best effort every day to live his faith in Christ. He lives in continual pursuit of making himself and everyone around him better. It is impossible to summarize the depth of where Jeremy takes the guys but a few nuggets from the conversation include:The importance of giving our best effortNothing good happens fastSpeaking truth in love like Christ didEliminating/turning down the dial on distractionsDaily disciplinePulling weeds Accountability through communityRepentance and changeShow NotesQuotes..."The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him." -Psalm 28:7"Wait on the LORD: Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD." -Psalm 27:13"The purpose of life is finding the largest burden that you can bear and bearing it." -Jordan Peterson"When the whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his mind." -C.S.

In This Episode:Tyler and Mike call in a couple of members of their "tribe" for some powerful reminders and "non-judgmental observations" about what is most important and why. No strangers to the program, Peter Carlseen and Will Barnett jump in and provide the much-needed depth perception that the guys need to help them deal with the things that life is throwing at them these days. The discussion is broad, deep, and downright hilarious at times. Topic highlights include:Power of a playlistReinventing parent stylesEqual vs. EquityAsking for helpSharing weaknessesAccountability=LoveMaking change for the right reasonSitting with othersPassing it alongShaping kidsHigh StakesShow NotesQuotes..."The essence of being as good as you can be is you gotta figure out who you are. You gotta figure out in that relentless effort to get clear about what's important to you, what uncompromising principles do you stand by, what makes you who you are, so if you don't go through that process, if you don't do the self-discovery, then you don't have an opportunity to be your best because you don't know who you are yet." -Pete Carroll“If I had an hour to solve a problem, I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.” -Albert Einstein"David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine.

I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them." -Ether 12:27 in The Book of Mormon"Don't be upset by the results you didn't get with the work you didn't do." -Richard SwartReferences...Norah JonesToby Keith"Love is a Battlefield" by Pat BenatarBoxer in Animal Farm by George Orwell"I Am the Gardener Here" by Hugh B.

In This Episode:Mike and Tyler sit down with someone who means a lot to not only both of them but to an entire community. Cal Hunter is living a tremendous life that values people more than things and he's not even close to being done. In his time with the guys, he drops a master class on love, faith, and family. Cal's life has been built intentionally on values and those values have stood the tests that life throws at all of us. The headline of his message to listeners is to keep going and keep loving because in the end, love wins and the fight is worth it. Cal is all about finding joy in the marvelous journey and aligning life to what matters most. To Cal, thank you for the life you are living. You're doing alright. Just keep going. Show NotesQuotes..."Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips, and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals." -Samual Ullman"What if there's everything?" -Tomorrowland (2015)"From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life." -John 6: 66-68"All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope." -Winston ChurchillReferences..."Don't Let the Old Man In" by Toby KeithCascade ChristmasOne of Cal's Radio Stations-KBLF 1490 AM"Believing Christ by Stephen RobinsonEpisode #126 with Rachel Spencer-"He Stayed with Me""The Christ Child" short filmU.S. Navy Blue Angels F-18 Fighter PilotsMr. Krueger's Christmas scene featuring Jimmy StewartBrigham YoungDave Ramsey's Financial Peace UniversityEssentialism by Greg McKeownPsst...Check out our website or visit us on our Facebook and Instagram platforms.

In This Episode:Tyler and Mike welcome Steve Mollman to the program. At RMIT, we know that no man is an island and our actions have an impact on others. In quiet and humble ways, Steve is making a tremendous difference in the world around him and the guys pull up a chair and spend some time learning about his rich life. The journey for Steve has been an unexpected life where he has learned that a cute girl in the third grade can become an amazing wife of 47 years, where a driveway conversation with an older brother can become a life-changer, and where Jesus can become the answer for everything. In their time with Steve, so much is learned about finding (and losing) real peace, being complete, seeing God's better plan for us, and the importance of becoming. Steve's advice is to get as close to God as we can and the guys could not agree more. The world needs more guys like Steve Mollman. To Steve and his wife Sandy, thank you for the lives that you live. Who you are matters to the world around you. Keep going!Show NotesQuotes..."Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! 'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store.

In This Episode:Well after two episodes and about 4 hours, one thing is clear. The guys have become huge fans of Gordon DeWitt. In his second round, Gordon leaves it all on the floor and the result is a master class of real faith in really hard times. After some initial shenanigans and some less-than-manly confessions on Mike's part, the guys get into some powerful truths like:The power of words like "I get it"The Ministry of presence and helping others through the "unimaginable"The tendency to get in our own wayThe need to live the lessonBeing quick to apologizeRemembering that God is love and that His love is big enough for everything that we feel and experienceLooking back on our graveyard of GoliathsChoices to be better or be bitterTo Mr. DeWitt, you can come back by the RMIT any time you want. Thanks to you and your family for the good that you do. It matters, maybe more than you will ever know. Keep going!Show NotesQuotes...“Men and women who turn their lives over to God will discover that He can make a lot more out of their lives than they can. He can deepen their joys, expand their vision, quicken their minds, strengthen their muscles, lift their spirits, multiply their blessings, increase their opportunities, comfort their souls, and pour out peace.” -Ezra Taft Benson"Scrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more...He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world...and it was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well." -Closing lines of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens“To love someone long-term is to attend a thousand funerals of the people they used to be. The people they're too exhausted to be any longer. The people they don't recognize inside themselves anymore. The people they grew out of, the people they never ended up growing into. We so badly want the people we love to get their spark back when it burns out; to become speedily found when they are lost. But it is not our job to hold anyone accountable to the people they used to be. It is our job to travel with them between each version and to honor what emerges along the way." -Heidi PriebeReferences...Royal Canadian Mounted PoliceStockton Heat Minor League Hockey TeamSan Diego Gulls Minor League Hockey TeamKeep Your Mouth Shut and the Welcome Mat Out by Jim BurnsCharity in 1 Corinthians 13My Biggest Problem is Me by Paul David TrippThe Great Divorce by C.

In This Episode:After a little well-deserved break, Tyler and Mike are back at it. This time, the guys sit down with one of their most sought-after guests. Gordon DeWitt joins the Richest Men in Town conversation to share the rich lessons that his life has been teaching him over the last 47 years. His story begins as all good stories do...with a JC Penney's suit, a Subaru Brat, and hoop dreams. Sprinkle in a life-changing Petra concert and a 3-day courtship with a cute girl in Texas and Gordon's course was set. Gordon gives listeners a master class on authenticity through the challenges and trials that he and his wife have experienced and he also provides some insight into how they have supported each other to stay in the fight. The rich conversation with Gordon covers a lot of ground, including: "Dynamic God moments"Friends serving as the Hands and feet of ChristBeing "An All or Nothing Guy"Being acquainted with pain, suffering, and lossThe Power of bond and partnership to help carry the loadHow God is equipping us to be able to accomplish our purpose here on earthEnduring seasons of disillusionmentStrong relationship with who God really isAcknowledging that how we feel is realRemembering that there is a way backThe benefits of counseling and the need for help in receiving guidanceThe DeWitts are living lives that matter. It has not been easy but they have not only found the strength to go through the unimaginable but have also found value, comfort, and perspective in helping others through similar challenges. To Gordon...thank you. Thank you for the way that you are showing up. To the DeWitt family...thank you and keep going. Show NotesQuotes...“The purpose of life is finding the largest burden that you can bear and bearing it.”  -Jordan Peterson"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." -Psalm 34:18References...The Gift of Influence by Tommy SpauldingElf Carl's Jr. Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger (an RMIT Favorite!)The Jimmy Kimmel Live's Guillermo RodriguezSubaru BratPetra BandCinderella ManLucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford"Back to Life" by Zahriya ZacharyBetterHelpPeter on the water in Matthew 14:22-33Psst...Check out our website or visit us on our Facebook and Instagram platforms.

In This Episode:Since the days of season 1, Mike has been talking about getting Jonathan Anderson on the Richest Men in Town podcast, and in this episode it finally happens. Jonathan is doing some incredible things now as the Executive Director/CEO of the Good News Rescue Mission in Redding, California and the story of how he got where he is today is the stuff of RMIT legends. In his time with the guys, Jonathan provides a master class in change with all the ingredients of an incredible story including conflict, prayers answered, mentors, the power of authentic love, and radical transformation. Jonathan's spiritual momentum has taken him from the streets of East Oakland to college to the silence and solitude of a French monastery to meeting Michelle to raising boys to helping repair broken lives and he is not done. Jonathan is a reminder to all of us to trust God with all of the pieces of our story. If He's real, if He's good, and if He has our best interests in mind then why are we worried?  Show NotesQuotes..."The other side of fear is freedom. The other side of pain is growth.

It is not one we can rationalize our way into, it's one that must be felt.

In This Episode:Tyler and Mike take a chance on a recommendation from friends of the program. Troy and Daphne Blanchard are living rich lives in Ecuador these days but their referral takes the guys to Apache Junction, Arizona where they get to know Bryant Powell. It turns out that Bryant Powell is as good as it gets and in his time with the guys, he drops all kinds of goodness. Bryant takes listeners back to the early days of his faith journey, going back to building his life as a young man on the underlined words of the Savior in his seminary scriptures. He also lets the guys in on some of the ups and downs that life is currently dealing him. Tyler and Mike go along for the ride and along the way, some great topics come up including:Living and teaching timeless values like discipline and diligenceDefining "Enough"Perfectionism and comparisonStanding for somethingDealing with lossBuilding families and homesThrow in some talk about waterbeds, Pro Wings, and MCI phone cards and Bryant paints a rich life picture indeed. To the Powell family, thank you for the lives you are living. Bryant Powell, thank you for sharing your story and showing up for your family and your community. Keep going brother!Show NotesQuotes...“Life with my parents and the other family members was natural and pleasant. Mutual support happened spontaneously and guaranteed the survival of people as well as of material and spiritual values. Until a few years ago, those bonds were so strong in the rural culture that they safeguarded ideals. The willingness to make sacrifices for others, to be able to wait for a reward, the devotion to work; for me, these are everlasting values. The joy of working together and sharing what was being produced turned work into a joyful liturgy, not a punishment. We all knew what was being done in the fields, in the garden, in the pastures, at home; planting, cultivating, raising children and helping parents. There was no wealth, but we were happy.

In This Episode:The wait is over. After a bit of a break this summer, the guys are back with the highly anticipated debut of Season 6 of The Richest Men In Town. To kick things off, Tyler and Mike are excited to bring back Nick Anderson. Nick has been on a couple of times (check out Episodes #16 and #40) but this time the guys mix it up a bit by inviting his wife Shellie to join him on the program to tell her story...and what a story she has! Her faith journey has been an arduous one but early life lessons and adversity have shaped her to live an amazingly rich life and help others do the same. In their time with the Andersons, the guys learn about:The importance of communicationEmpowerment vs. excusesThe power of coaching-especially for couples!Releasing expectations we hold of othersThe "constant companionship" of the Holy GhostWays to intentionally enhance marriageTo Shellie, thank you for your vulnerability in sharing your story with listeners. In the midst of extremely difficult challenges, you have shown courage and grace and reminded all of us that faith is a principle of action and that the grace that is available to all of us through the Atonement of Jesus Christ gives us strength to do that which we cannot do on our own. To all of our listeners, we want to invite you to check out Shellie's resources, including her coaching website, courses, and podcast. Let's pray to do things differently and then, with some intentionality, commit to do the work on ourselves. That's the only way things change. Show NotesQuotes..."Find out who you are and do it on purpose." -Dolly Parton"The way you alchemize a soulless world into a sacred world is by treating everyone as if they are sacred until the sacred in them remembers." -Sarah Durham WilsonReferences...Shellie Anderson CoachingRestore Yourself, Restore Your Marriage PodcastFirst Night, First Year CourseMarriage Enhancement CourseSaturday's Warriors (1989)The Holy Invitation by Anthony SweatLearn more about sexual assault in America by visiting RAINN.ORGIf you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, there's help.

In This Episode:It's another new episode of the Richest Men in Town and this week's episode is short, sweet, and guestless as Tyler and Mike get some summer vacation on. Don't let the length fool you because the conversation is still rich as the guys come together to reflect on the life going on around them. This week's musings include:lossliving it right know-do-be-becomingreflecting on experiencesimpact momentsfriendshipThe guys end with a challenge to listeners to reflect and reach out to old friends to reconnect and support one another through things. Repair breaches and remove wedges that old friend that's just around the corner may not always be there. Show NotesQuotes..."The Final Judgment is not just an evaluation of a sum total of good and evil acts--what we have done. It is an acknowledgment of the final effect of our acts and thoughts--what we have become." -Elder Dallin H. Oaks"I wish I could get every member of the Church to go and partake of the sacrament, and when they took the bread, they'd ask themselves, 'Who am I? What am I doing? How am I living? Where am I going? What should I be accomplishing?' as they renew their covenants with the Lord. The minute they'd pick up the bread, something would happen." -Elder L.

Imagine waking up one morning and realizing that everything you have worked for is gone, literally from a million in the bank to millions in debt. That's just part of Lester's story and there is so much more here for RMIT listeners. It is adversity that has taught Lester what matters most in life. Out of life's challenges, Lester and his wife Jane have relied on their foundation of faith in God and trusted each other to rebuild and recreate what they want their lives to look like and who they want to be "one brick a day".

In This Episode:There's nothing better than some old friends (not necessarily friends that are old) getting together and catching up and this week on the Richest Men In Town podcast that's exactly what happens. The guys welcome back Keiffer Marino to catch up and learn what life is teaching him these days. The conversation does not go where they thought it would but it went where it needed to go. The result of their slow-down session is some dumping, some sharing, and some much-needed clarity in a crazy world.  Topics are all over the place and include:  "moral victories"high expectationsimposter syndromemindset-beliefs-actiontime and placetrustenjoy todaylabels that matterfear of the unknownleadership and "certain calls"course correctionsleaning on the Lordchanging us to change the worldShow NotesWho Said It..."The people we surround ourselves with either raise or lower our standards.

In This Episode:On the latest episode of RMIT, Tyler and Mike are blown away by their friend Will Barnett. Will comes in on short notice and hits a walk-off home run as he shares thoughts on rediscovering wonder in life, operational grace, the love of his wife Angela, and learning from his mom about unconditional love. The guys have been doing this gig for a bit now but the places that Will takes them are special and his ability to be real and let them in is unforgettable. Mr. Barnett turned a pinch-hit RMIT invitation into an instant classic performance that people will be talking about for a long time to come. To Will, thank you for letting people in on the rich life that you are living. Keep going, brother. To Angela, thanks for changing this guy's life.

In This Episode:Tyler and Mike invite Chris Lee to come in and share what life is teaching him. Chris is living a rich life from a foundation established by parents that taught him the important things in life. Growing up he learned the value of doing hard things, of trees and fruit, of the harvest, of sacrifice, and of putting God first. These lessons echo in his life and in the things that he is teaching to his children every day. In his time with the guys, they get into some incredible conversations around topics like:DisciplineLeveraging timeSharing whatever you havePower of creationFinding the "outer edge"Worst case scenarioOvercoming fearBreaking chainsAlignmentThe list goes on and on but listeners are in for a treat as Chris provides a master class on living the richest man in town life with intention and intensity.  The guys' notebooks are full after this one! To Chris, thank you for the way that you attack life every day and for the way that you showed up for this conversation. To Andrea and the Lee family, thank you for the rich lives that you are living.

In This Episode:The guys welcome Jordan Heberlein to the RMIT podcast and the result is a powerful reminder to anyone and everyone that listens that tomorrow is not promised to anyone and that we can all get through heavy things. Jordan and his wife Caitlin get it because they have been through it and are going through it every day. Jordan lets listeners in on the lessons that he has learned along the way and the nuggets he shares are solid gold. There's a lot to love about the time spent with Jordan but what stands out is his love for his family and the passionate advocacy he has taken up for everyone who might be considered an underdog. Listeners can find out where that comes from as they pull up a chair and give Jordan a bit of their time. To Jordan, keep going, brother. To Caitlin, thanks for believing in your man. To Brooklynn, Brylee, and Isaac...your parents are rock stars. To everyone grinding right now, lean in and let it sharpen you.Show NotesWho Said It..."There's no normal life Wyatt. It's just life.

In This Episode:Tyler and Mike are mixing things up for Season 5 of the Richest Men In Town podcast. The guys will be bringing Brian Grow into the conversation every once in a while to make meaning and break down what the RMIT guests have been sharing. This week Brian joins in the conversation around all kinds of topics including sports (shocker!), community, Zion, the power of curiosity, sympathy vs. empathy vs. compassion, not knowing answers, admitting when we're wrong, and questions of the soul like to pickleball or not to pickleball. Listeners might be able to check off Jimmy V's checklist for a good day with some laughter, some thinking, and some feels. Thanks, Brian for joining the madness. Show NotesWho Said It..."It was then that I decided to replace judgment with curiosity and allowed myself to really listen and hear what they had to say." -Lynn Nottage"I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." -Rainer Maria Rilke"My scientist friends have come up with things like 'principles of uncertainty' and dark holes. They're willing to live inside imagined hypotheses and theories. But many religious folks insist on answers that are always true. We love closure, resolution, and clarity while thinking that we are people of 'faith'! How strange that the very word 'faith' has come to mean its exact opposite." -Richard Rohr"There is no power for change greater than a community that discovers what it cares about." -Margaret Wheatley"One of the things we need to learn is that very great change starts from very small conversations, held among people who care. Forget about the politics or the staff person who is driving you crazy...What are the things you really have deep, abiding concern for? What is it you really have some passion for? If you go into that question for yourself, you will find the energy to go forward." -Margaret Wheatley"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” -Howard ThurmanReferences...Elf Jack in the Box sceneJohn 6Acts 9RMIT E-Book: Sweet Sixteen RMIT Episode #126 with Rachel Spencer1993 Jimmy Valvano Espy SpeechRMIT Episode #123 with Nick WebbRMIT Episode #115 with Mitch BahrTo Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

In This Episode:Mike introduces Tyler to one of his favorite human beings. Nick Skulavik jumps onto the RMIT podcast to share his story with anyone that will listen. He has a lot to be thankful for these days and he lets the guys in on the journey that he has been on to improve himself and keep the fire stoked. This episode has a little bit of everything...from junk on cheese and the boneless wing debate (again!) to the importance of creativity and the miracle of healing. Top it all off with a boy named Havoc and hopefully, listeners will learn what Nick has-that life and loved ones are precious, that cussing isn't cool, and that we can do anything. To Alixis, Sonora, Marlowe, and Havoc...you're dad is our hero.

In This Episode:Tyler introduces Mike to Rachel Spencer and Rachel proceeds to give the guys a Master Class in holding space and the power of God's love. This episode is about making new connections and seeing things from someone else's perspective. Rachel shares what faith looks and feels like for her as a gay woman and she is powerful in every sense of the word. Her witness is that God is her friend and she can feel Him helping her, even in the midst of doubts. She lets the guys in on her journey of stripping down her identity and locking in on the things that she knows. There might be more questions than answers sometimes, but through it all, she has learned that God loves us because of who we are and not in spite of who we are. And that makes all the difference. To Rachel, thank you for the intentional way that you are showing up in your life. You are loved and everyone that tunes in to hear your story will feel it and will be reminded that they are too.

In This Episode:Way back in November, the guys had an incredible conversation with the Biegels and they knew then that they weren't done with Alex and Bruce (see Episode #124). Fast forward to March and they are finally able to reconnect and they didn't skip a beat. They pick up right where they left off and the result is a fitting and unforgettable Part 2. The guys use the time to get caught up, revisit pieces of their remarkable story, and explore how they are dealing with the challenges that today presents. Through all of it, their witness of truth lights the guys up and everyone walks away grateful and edified. Ever have a righteous desire that just isn't happening in your life? Ever allow self-talk to get in your head? Ever discredit your experience or your own hard-earned wisdom? If you have, you will relate to this conversation. The Biegels teach us all what they have learned and are learning to get through things and the guys are taking notes. For this episode, it's simple. Tune in and be changed. After all, what do you have to lose?Show NotesWho Said It...“You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up.

In This Episode:Tyler and Mike introduce RMIT listeners to Bruce and Alex Biegel. The Biegels are an amazing couple that has a lot to teach anyone that will pull up a chair and listen to their story. Their individual faith journeys could not be more opposite from each other, but that's only half the story. The real adventure begins when they find each other and start building a life together. It's a love story unlike any that the guys have heard before. It's a living testament to the power of faith to overcome, to renew, to restore, to forgive, to endure, to surrender, and to never give up. This time spent with Bruce and Alex is a perfect reminder that everyone's journey is different, everyone's challenges and problems are custom, and with God, we can work it all out. These are some deep waters and Tyler and Mike are definitely not done with the Biegels. Neither is God.  Show NotesWho Said It..."I am not yet where I am going but I am a long way from where I was." -No Doubt About It by We The Kingdom"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." -Revelation 12:11"The Man on the middle cross said I could come." -Alistair Begg"For with God nothing shall be impossible." -Luke 1:37"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." -2 Corinthians 5:17References...Blackstone griddleDouble Western Bacon CheeseburgerBless the Broken Road by Rascal FlattDavid vs. GoliathBook of PsalmsGod Will Work it Out by Maverick CityBy Your Side by Tenth Avenue NorthCelebrate RecoveryNo Doubt About It by We The KingdomLuke 18:10-13Coming Out Ministries"Thorn in the flesh" in 2 Corinthians 12:7The Commission by CainSermon on the Mount in Matthew Psst...Check out our website or visit us on our Facebook and Instagram platforms.Mike and Tyler are both members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  If you would like to learn more about the Church or their beliefs, we invite you to check it out by clicking here.

In This Episode:Mike introduces Tyler to one of his favorite people as Nick Webb joins the Richest Men In Town family. Nick is a guy that has dedicated his life to building community one relationship at a time. He believes that finding and building relationships always lead to positive things. By following the examples of strong models like his grandmother, he has dedicated himself to giving back to make things better for other people, especially teenagers and young adults. Six years ago, Nick learned the truth that having kids changes everything, and he lets the guys in on what his twin "million dollar" boys mean to him and his wife Abby.  His dad adventure started with a couple of months in the NICU and, looking back, he wouldn't have it any other way. Being a husband and a father has helped Nick redefine what life is really all about and this perspective gives him the power to be a man of influence to everyone around him. Nick Webb, thank you for the way you are living every day and for the way that you showed up to tell your story. Keep going, brother. Listeners, grab a pen and a pad and tune in to Nick's story.

In This Episode:Tyler and Mike are back after a little hiatus to launch Season 5 and their guest takes Tyler back to his mission days in Columbus, Ohio. Tony Beckstrom joins the show to catch up on the last couple of decades and the talk is all about family. The guys take notes as Grandpa Tony gives them a preview of what life looks like when kids find love, marriage, and grandkids start happening. Tony's heart goes out to the family, friends, and community that make up the village that helped him and his wife Missy raise his kids. Along the way, the guys get into all kinds of topics including:Love and expectationsSeeing everyone's potential"Someone's Son"God's timingTough loveLove, Share, InviteFeedback from a place of lovePower of Example/ModelingEvidence of discipleshipPower of NamesFeeling unworthy to prayAlways the first one to show upShowing your love for the Savior through serviceIn the end, Tony stepped up, showed up, and delivered a "how to" on living the Richest Men In Town life.

In This Episode:Tyler and Mike sit down with an old guest and get the "rest of the story". Way back in March of 2021, the guys had Troy Blanchard on for Episode #43 "Choose Your Own Adventure" and Troy was incredible. What the rest of the world did not know at that time is that Troy and his incredible wife Daphne were on the verge of doing something pretty bold. They were packing up their US life to respond to inspiration. You see, they had both felt the prompting (in very different ways!) to disrupt, stretch, and grow and, in the end, it meant a family move. Not across the street or on the other side of town. Not even to another state. It meant a move to Ecuador. Now, Tyler and Mike take some time to sit down with Troy and Daphne to get an update and learn what the Ecuador move has taught them. To say that their notebooks were filled from the conversation is an understatement. In their time together they discuss a wide range of topics including:Focus on learning to receive and act on inspirationStaying nimbleDrips and floodsDealing with resistance, doubt, and fearRemembering sacred feelings and momentsEmbracing change and the vulnerability that comes with itPushing past the imposter syndromeChoosing courage over comfortLooking up and not aroundIntentional disruptionFocusing on the next stepShow NotesWho Said It..."Sometimes you have to be stupid enough to start this kind of thing and then brave and persistent enough to finish it." -Anders Solvarm"Today I will choose courage over comfort." -Brene Brown"And now behold, I say unto you, my brethren, if ye have experienced a change of heart, and if ye have felt to sing the song of redeeming love, I would ask, can ye feel so now?" -Alma 5:26"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us." -Romans 8:18"If you're not in the arena getting your butt kicked then I'm not interested in your criticism." -Brene Brown"Sooner or later everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences." -Robert Louis Stevenson"Doing better does not mean doing more." -Sharon EubankReferences...Be RealEpisode #43 "Choose Your Own Adventure""You are Receiving Revelation, Now Act On It" by Loren Dalton"Divine Discontent" by Michelle CraigDoug Flutie's Hail Mary vs. Miami (11/23/1984)Home on Apple TV"Am I Wrong" by Nico and VinzDiscipline is Destiny by Ryan Holliday"Jesus Take the Wheel" by Carrie UnderwoodPsst...Check out our website or visit us on our Facebook and Instagram platforms.Mike and Tyler are both members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  If you would like to learn more about the Church or their beliefs, we invite you to check it out by clicking here.

In This Episode:Brian Grow comes with his second round of questions for the guys and the conversation that follows goes deep fast. His questions get everyone talking about a wide range of topics including: Alignment between actions and truthThe importance of thinking for ourselves and rethinkingBeing anchored in identityThe power in the things we tell ourselvesRut vs. GrooveIncorrect mental patternsDanger of guilt and shameOvercoming the worldPatience with ourselvesBeing the change to build communityShow NotesWho Said It..."There can be no happiness if the things that we believe in are different from the things that we do." -James Clear"When you act badly, you may think you are bad when in truth you're usually mistaken. You're just wrong. The challenge is not so much in closing the gap between our actions and our beliefs, rather the challenge is closing the gap between our actions and the truth. That's the challenge." -Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge"I hope that everyone becomes rich and famous so they can realize that's not it." -Jim Carey"Here's the grand truth. While the world insists that power, possessions, popularity, and pleasures of the flesh bring happiness, they do not. They cannot. What they do produce is nothing but a hollow substitute for the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God." -Russell M. Nelson"Let's start with a test. Do you have any opinions that you would be reluctant to express in front of a group of your peers? If the answer is no, you might want to stop and think about that. If everything you believe is something you're supposed to believe, could that possibly be a coincidence? Odds are it isn't. Odds are, you just think whatever you're told." -Paul Graham"Overcoming the world is not an event that happens in a day or two. It happens over a lifetime as we repeatedly embrace the doctrine of Christ. We cultivate faith in Jesus Christ by repenting daily and keeping covenants that endow us with power. We stay on the covenant path and are blessed with spiritual strength, personal revelation, increasing faith, and the ministering of angels. Living the doctrine of Christ can produce the most powerful virtuous cycle, creating spiritual momentum in our lives." -Russell M. NelsonReferences..."That They Might Know Thee" by Elder Jonathan S.

In This Episode:The guys bring back a friend of the program, Brian Grow, and the script gets flipped. Brian is the one that comes with questions for our hosts. Or should we say question, because he gets one question out of the bag and a two-hour incredibly rich conversation spills out. It's a conversation that you don't want to miss.

The takeaways for listeners is a short list: Want it, do the work to find answers, do your job, and endure it well. Class dismissed. Show NotesWho Said It...“Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink,” many today lament, “Data, data, everywhere, and not a thought to think.”Elder Neal A. Maxwell once observed, sometimes “we can't make it all add up because clearly we do not have all the numbers.”"And I will tell you of the wrestle which I had before God, before I received a remission of my sins.Behold, I went to hunt beasts in the forests; and the words which I had often heard my father speak concerning eternal life, and the joy of the saints, sunk deep into my heart.And my soul hungered; and I kneeled down before my Maker, and I cried unto him in mighty prayer and supplication for mine own soul; and all the day long did I cry unto him; yea, and when the night came I did still raise my voice high that it reached the heavens." -Enos 1:2-4“The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done.” -Joseph Smith"For want of a nail, the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe, the horse was lost. For want of the knight, the battle was lost. For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost. The kingdom was lost for the want of a nail." -Old Proverb"The idea of duty is a simple one. We all have a job to do in life. Whether that job is serving customers in a restaurant, taking care of our family, teaching our children, policing our cities, caring for the ill and infirm...we must do our job to the best of our ability.

In This Episode:Mike and Tyler catch up with a long-time friend of the program. Peter Carlseen comes in to sit down and share what life has been teaching him these days and the guys listen up and take notes. In true RMIT fashion, the conversation bounces from Elko, Nevada to lease agreeements for kids living at home. Sprinkle in some playoff baseball and a plug for Invisalign and that's just the introduction. Peter settles in on some heavy "Aha" moments that he has been blessed with from the university that is called FAMILY. The guys discuss leaving the comfort zone to grow, what unconditional love really looks like, and the power of compassion. God is indeed love and life gets a lot more rich when the two great commandments are at the center of everything that we do. Peter and his family are living courageously these days and they've never been closer. Tune in to hear Peter's masterclass on supporting kids through anything and maybe his courage will be contagious. To Peter and the Carlseen family, thanks for letting us in and showing us what a rich life looks like.

In This Episode:This week the Tyler and Mike sit down "Pops". Michael Druey (aka "Pops" or "Grandpa Mike") has been trying to do it right for decades and the end result is a rich life that bears the sweet fruit we like to call RELATIONSHIPS. From his incredible personal relationship with God (aka "Dad") to his wife/best friend Sharon, Mike tries to leave enough evidence in the end for the world to be able to convict of being a Christian. In their time with Michael, the guys are treated to a masterclass of mid-week church and nuggets about serving others, loving not judging, putting God first, reaching out to others in their moments of need, and so much more. Michael shares that he was not looking for God but God came and got him and he rest is history. Grandpa Mike, you're right. There are absolute truths out there for us to learn and discover. There is power in just loving. When you're in a hole, there's wisdom in the counsel to "stop digging". We can see that God did indeed flip a switch in Mike's heart and now he is doing a little bit of that to everyone that is lucky enough to know him. Keep stirring the pot Pops. Thanks for showing up, sharing, and teaching us all how to live that richest man in town life. If the game is about impact, you Michael Druey are a champion indeed.

In This Episode:This week the guys sit down with Mitch Bahr. In 1984, Mitch was 11 when he hears a live performance of "Rhapsody in Blue" as part of the 1984 Olympic Opening Ceremonies. In that moment, he felt like music needed to be a part of his life. Now, almost 40 years later, music is an integral part of Mitch's incredibly rich life. In his time with Mike and Tyler, Mitch shares his journey and the lessons that life has taught him along the way. The result is an incredible episode with an incredible guy who would be nothing without his incredible wife, Carmen. You think you have a great "How you met your spouse" story? Wait until you hear Mitch's. And let's get one thing straight... Mitch teaches more than just music. He invests in people and great music happens as a by-product. Class is in session here as he gives a master class about being centered on what's important, being content, what it means to be truly successful, the importance of empathy, that "faith is not a fortune cookie", and so much more.

In This Episode:Tyler and Mike are excited to launch into season 4 with a guest unlike any other guest that they have ever had. Meet Andy Morgan. Andy is Rock Solid. He's a son, a dad, a good friend, a witness, and a believer. Andy comes to the program via Derrick Anderson and his story has something to teach everyone. He is a self-proclaimed "adrenaline junkie" who loves the Lord, his daughter, and his dirtbike. To say that the road has been bumpy is a bit of an understatement considering that Andy has had 38 concussions, a broken collarbone, a fractured pelvis, and a broken femur. Actually, not only did he broke his femur...he later bent the rod that the doctors put in to replace the femur! Through it all, Andy has learned the importance of eliminating the noise, honoring his parents, and listening to the voice that calls to all of us saying, "Better yourself". To Greg Schneider, wherever you are, thanks for saving someone. To Andy, keep going because they're always watching.Show NotesWho Said It..."For with God, nothing shall be impossible." -Luke 1:37"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready always to give an answer to every man who asketh you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear." -1 Peter 3:15"Parents simply cannot flirt with skepticism or cynicism, then be surprised when their children expand that flirtation into full-blown romance. If in matters of faith and belief children are at risk of being swept downstream by this intellectual current or that cultural rapid, we as their parents must be more certain than ever to hold to anchored, unmistakable moorings clearly recognizable to those of our own household.

Tyler's trekking and Mike is looking for some more fashion advice. It's short and sweet this time as the guys are enjoying a little summer break.

Jared and the guys do their best to "sell adulthood" and in true RMIT fashion, the discussion covers a lot of ground. Jared shares some unique perspective on the idea of making time and living our lives in alignment with priorities. He shares examples from his life of faith and courage. He also gets real and lets the guys in on some recent news that has him taking inventory and trying to wake up every day with the goal of being his kids' hero. Tough to beat that. Through it all, he's doing his best to keep the faith of his parents alive and strong in his own story. To Jared Brock, thank you for showing up in the lives of those that love you. You are our hero.

In This Episode:Mike and Tyler's time this week starts with a trip back in time to northern New Jersey to learn from the rich life of Mr. Joe Chimenti. Joe's amazing story winds through the Rocky Mountains, Boston, Minnesota, and eventually California where he settled down with his wife Debbie and his four boys. Joe shares how his life changed in an instant and in that moment he makes a decision that commits him to a life of service to  his community. Today, he continues to strive to live his best life by following those things that his dad taught him growing up. Dad was quick to share wisdom like looking at the content of a person's character, making sure that kids know they're loved, and embracing every moment. Dad loved himself a good "crulla" (that's NYPD for a Cruller donut) and he wore out his rosary beads from a promise made and kept.  That legacy of dad's faith lived on in Joe as he grew up knowing that God would answer his prayers. Joe teaches RMIT listeners that "there are only two things that matter..." Want to know what they are? Tune in to find out.

In This Episode:Mike and Tyler sit down to reflect on the great and challenging things that life is throwing at them. The great philosopher Ferris Bueller probably said it best when he said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." This episode is all about the "stop and look around" process as the guys take inventory of what it means to have kids grow up and leave the nest. This one runs the full range of emotions from joy and excitement for kids to have new adventures and learnings to fears and wonderings whether kids are ready and as dads did they do enough. Time will tell but the guys are feeling hopeful that the world will get a little better with their kids out in it.  Show NotesWho Said It...“It's not so much what you accomplish in life that really matters, but what you overcome that proves who you are, what you are, and whether you are a champion.” -Johnny MillerReferences..."How Will You Measure Your Life" by Clayton Christensen"Be 100% Responsible" by Lynn Grant RobbinsThe Hero Code by Admiral William McRavenPsst...Check out our website or visit us on our Facebook and Instagram platforms.Mike and Tyler are both members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  If you would like to learn more about the Church or their beliefs, we invite you to check it out by clicking here.

In This Episode:Mike and Tyler sit down with the one and only Bryan Bunker. In the Goold family circle, Bryan is legendary and after spending some time with him, you'll agree. Bryan brings insight and perspective that is exactly what the doctor ordered. What starts as a conversation about physical fitness and health evolves into a master class on flipping switches, slaying dragons, parenting with influence, and checking in with God. Through it all, Bryan takes the guys on his journey to living his best life and striving to be the best version of himself that he can be. He teaches us the importance of allowing ourselves to be flawed, to stop comparing, and start asking more "What if's?" And if we sit in our questions long enough, answers will find us. He has some formulas for all of us to take in and consider and he's giving them away to anyone that will listen. To Bryan, thank you for showing up with the guys and sharing your rich life. In the end, it's about living "palms up" and accepting all that this life has to teach.

In This Episode:Mike and Tyler consider every episode of the Richest Men In Town a gift and this week with Chris Scott is no different. Chris and the story of the rich life that he is living literally fell in Mike's lap. One day at work, Mike hears Chris talk about his work with Guidepost Therapy, in particular the support that he is providing to dads in a program called 24/7 Dad, and the next thing you know Chris is dropping truth and wisdom to RMIT listeners. Chris has a deep bag of life experience, education, research, and resources and his time with the guys in this episode barely scratches the surface. Chris shares some remarkable parenting insights and lets Tyler and Mike in on his journey of faith, family, change, and finding his purpose. The result is 111 minutes of help for all of us to learn how to be better at being not doing. To Chris and your family, keep going brother and screen your phone calls because there's no doubt that the guys will be calling you again soon.  Show NotesWho Said It..."Holding a grudge is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies." -John BythewayReferences...24/7 Dad Support GroupChris' therapy group Guidepost Therapy and Facebook GroupJohn Eldredge Wild at HeartMere Christianity by C.S.

In This Episode:The guys share a couple of hours with Mike's neighbor Casey Kelly. Casey and his amazing wife Tracee are proud parents of three incredible girls and he is all in on living life as richly as he can each and every day. In their time with Casey, Mike and Tyler cover a wide range of topics, everything from date night pedicures (Tyler's not a fan) and their own mortality to meditation and the benefits of therapy. Casey lets the guys in on the highs and lows and learnings that life deals out along the way and the end result is an instant RMIT classic and a Master Class on the power of family, relationships, and being our best selves. We raise a glass to Casey Kelly. Thank you for living life the way that you do and for showing up willing to share your journey. We're all better for knowing you. Show NotesWho Said It..."THE WORLD IS increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn't very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-aging moisturizer? You make someone worry about aging. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind. To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence.
