Avery and Isla join Beard Laws as we raid the freezer, grab 8 random Stewart's Ice Cream pints, and put them through the ultimate taste test tournament to crown the best Stewart's ice cream flavor. From Cookies & Cream and Moose Trail to Happy Camper, Bark in the Dark, Sugar Shack Swirl, and more, every flavor had to survive our family bracket challenge.

Google just stood on stage at I/O 2026 and named pet care by name. Starting this summer, Google's AI agent will call your business on a client's behalf to check availability and pricing — and the businesses it can't read won't make the list. This episode breaks down what changed, the 7.22-word stat that just broke traditional SEO, the six-rule blog structure AI actually cites, the four places your reviews need to live, and the four things every pet business owner needs to do this week before the rollout hits. Timestamps [0:00] — Welcome + the CC story from February (the strainer in action) [3:00] — Why AI literacy is the new business literacy [4:30] — Google I/O: the biggest change to Search in 25 years [6:00] — The 7.22-word stat that just broke traditional SEO [8:30] — AI Mode hits one billion users — what that means for your visibility [10:30] — The new game: ranking vs. being citable [13:30] — The first 100 words rule + the brochure problem [16:00] — The 6-rule blog structure AI will actually cite [20:00] — Why Google Analytics is lying to you (and where to look instead) [22:30] — The Google quote: pet care named by name [25:30] — What it looks like when Google's AI agent calls your business [27:30] — Daily Brief + Gemini Spark for pet business owners [30:30] — Four things you can do this week (with the 4-place reviews framework) [33:30] — Close + Keep jumping In This Episode You'll Discover Why Google named pet care — by name, on stage — at I/O 2026, and what's actually rolling out this summer The 7.22-word AI search stat (and what your clients are actually typing into Google now) The 6-rule blog structure that gets your pet business cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode The 4 places your reviews need to live — and why having them only on Google looks suspicious to AI Why Google Analytics is hiding your AI traffic — and where the real fingerprints live Four things every pet business owner needs to do this week before the summer rollout About This Episode Bella Vasta — founder of Jump Consulting and host of Bella in Your Business — sits down to break down everything Google announced at I/O 2026, the biggest developer event of the year. Bella translates the keynote into pet-business plain English: what changed in Search, why the average AI Mode query is now 7.22 words instead of 4, the six-rule blog structure that AI engines actually cite, the four places your reviews need to live for AI to trust you, what it means that Google named pet care by name as one of the first categories its AI agent will call on behalf of clients, and exactly what business owners need to do this summer to stay in the conversation. She also closes the loop on a Google Labs experiment she flagged for The Jumpers community back in February — and now lives on the keynote stage. Resources Mentioned in This Episode Ep 428: ChatGPT Is Not Google Ep 433: 13 AI Pet Sitting Business Mindset Shifts Ep 421: Why AI Will Save Your Pet Business The AI Brain: The One File That Makes Every AI Sound Like You Google I/O 2026 keynote recap (Google blog) Book a website + AI visibility session with Bella Connect with Bella Website Sessions with Bella The Jumpers Mastermind Subscribe to Bella in Your Business Bella's Website Find Bella on Instagram + Facebook ? search Bella Vasta Frequently Asked Questions Q1: Is Google's AI really going to call my pet business? Yes. At Google I/O on May 19, 2026, Google announced that AI Mode will start performing tasks on behalf of users — including making reservations, booking appointments, and getting quotes. They named three industries to start: home services, beauty, and pet care. The agent will call businesses, check availability and pricing, and bring the results back to the searcher. Rollout begins in the United States this summer. Q2: What is the difference between SEO and AIO (AI Optimization)? SEO is about ranking — getting your page to the top of the blue-link results so a human clicks. AIO is about being citable — making sure an AI engine like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Mode can read your website, understand what you do, and confidently recommend you when someone asks. Old SEO chased the click. AIO is about being in the answer itself. Both still matter, but AIO is now the gate. Q3: Why is my pet care business invisible on Google AI Mode? Most pet care websites read like a brochure — vague phrases like 'passionate care for your beloved pets' or 'tailored services for your pet's unique needs.' AI engines cannot cite that language because it does not answer a specific question. To show up in AI Mode, your pages need specific facts in the first 100 words: city, zip codes, services, prices, availability, and what kind of pets you specialize in. Specific. Real. Answerable. Q4: Why doesn't my Google Analytics show AI traffic? Google Analytics runs on JavaScript. The crawlers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode do not execute JavaScript, so they never trigger your Analytics tracking. That means even when AI bots visit your site every single day, your Analytics dashboard shows nothing. The only place AI bot visits show up is in your server logs. Ask your web host or developer for access to your raw server logs — that is where the AI fingerprints live. Q5: How long is the average AI Mode search now? According to Google's own one-year AI Mode data published in May 2026, the average AI Mode query is 7.22 words — almost double the average traditional Google search at 4 words. The top words used to begin an AI Mode search are What, How, I, Is, and Can. The top action words inside the search are find, information, identify, explain, and summarize. Pet care clients are no longer typing 'pet sitter Phoenix' — they are typing full conversational questions, which is why brochure-style websites built around three-word keywords are losing visibility fast. Q6: How do I structure a pet care blog so AI will cite it? Six rules. One — make your headline a question a real client would type. Two — answer that question in the first 100 words with a specific number, city, or service. Three — make every H2 heading a question too. Four — add an FAQ block with six to ten real Q&As and FAQ schema markup. Five — internally link to one other blog on your site and link back from it. Six — include an author bio with credentials, photo, years in business, and service area. That signals E-E-A-T (experience, expertise, authoritativeness, trust) — what AI engines look for when deciding what to cite. Q7: Where should I put my pet business reviews so AI can find them? Four places. Place one — your Google Business Profile (the floor). Place two — embedded on your website as real text (not screenshots), on a dedicated Reviews page AND on every service page, with schema markup. Place three — woven into your FAQ answers so reviews function as proof inside your actual responses. Place four — cross-platform on Yelp, Nextdoor, Facebook, and Bark, because AI engines look for citation consistency. A pet business with 300 reviews on Google and zero anywhere else looks suspicious to AI. The one with reviews distributed across four platforms looks like a real business. Q8: What are the four things every pet business owner needs to do this week? First, be your own client — open ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode and search 'best pet sitter in [your city].' See whether you appear. Second, read your homepage like an AI would and audit the first 100 words for specifics: city, services, prices, availability. Third, lock down your Google Business Profile — hours, phone number, services, service area, photos. Fourth, distribute your reviews across the four places listed above so AI sees you consistently cited as a real business. Full Episode Transcript You guys, on February 26th, I was inside my mastermind with the jumpers and I was talking about this tiny little what they call Google Labs, right? It's an experiment that they were doing. It's called CC. And CC was this email feature that it was so cool because every morning it would read your Gmail and your calendar and then hand you a prioritized summary of your day. What was urgent, what was next, all in one place with links to go to it. So now you're not having to read through your emails and your ? appointments and requests and things that had deadlines and not know it it just it was amazing. I was fired up and I told all my jumpers that like they all needed to be on it right now. And the response was also excitement, and other people signed up for it too. Some people had to get on the wait list because There was a wait list for it, but it was a really cool thing. And since February, I personally have been doing it. Now let's fast forward to May 19th, which you're gonna hear a lot about today. Google stood on a stage at their biggest developer conference of the year and announced it to the world. It was a new name. It was built into their Gemini app on the keynote stage in front of a billion people. And guys, this is exactly what I do. I take this stuff. That is out there, that is overwhelming, that is just like there's so much that you become paralyzed. And I put it through a strainer. I decide what is actually gonna be important to you, the small business owner. I distill it and I give it straight to you. That's exactly what I did. Okay. And I filter out the noise. I bring you the things that actually matter before they matter, before the headlines, before everyone else gets on top of it. That's what I've been doing since 2023, okay? And today's no different because AI literacy is the new business literacy. And if you're listening to this, you are one of the special people in the small business world that wants to learn and wants to know. You're not one of the ones that are sticking your head in the sand or paralyzed by fear. Do you have fear? Probably.

Seann's missing… but somehow still manages to send in a very familiar voice note
This is a bonus feed drop from Dan Blumberg's podcast 'Future Around and Find Out' (FAFO), winner of the 2026 Webby Award for Best Technology Podcast.If you like what you hear, check out FAFO at https://www.futurearound.com/Original description:Henrik Werdelin is one of my favorite entrepreneurs. He's founded and incubated several unicorns, most notably BARK, the dog happiness company.Henrik himself is a pretty happy guy — an optimistic guy who likes to ask what could go right? — and on the day we recorded (a few months ago as I was squirreling away interviews for the podcast relaunch), he helped me see through some future of tech gloom I was feeling.

#131Josh sits down with Michael Jacober for a wide-ranging conversation about restaurant value, shifting diner behavior, and why legacy brands like Chili's are suddenly feeling relevant again. They unpack the idea of a “K-shaped” restaurant economy, where brands increasingly feel pushed toward either premium experiences or clear-cut value, and debate whether that narrative really holds up in practice. Along the way, they dig into Chili's surprising resurgence, how simplifying menus and tightening operations can improve both the guest experience and the business, and why restaurant nostalgia can become a powerful growth strategy when it is backed up by execution.The conversation also veers into restaurant supply chains, with thoughts on Cisco's acquisition of Restaurant Depot and what cash-and-carry models offer independent operators, before ending on a more personal culinary tangent: Josh's belief that sausage is an underappreciated burger format. From Vietnamese-style pork patties to memories of Bark's crispy pork sandwich, the episode becomes a bigger reflection on what makes food craveable, scalable, and worth coming back for.Links and resources
Alley found a video made by some local high schoolers and she had to share. DZ gives advice to a woman who keeps getting money requests from her dead fiance's kids. A man messaged in and asked if he was the jerk for yelling at his mom. How much are we tipping these days? Not only do they discuss but are appalled by all the people who don't tip. Alley shares why she won't take Doug the dog to Bark in the Park at Am Fam Field.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
In this episode, I sit down with Adam Adler — Charleston-based founder, private equity investor, and dad of two — and his ten-year-old daughter Isla, who is not just the inspiration behind their app Wyzly but an active co-founder and integral part of the business. Yes, you read that right. A ten-year-old co-founded a company. And when you hear the idea, you'll understand why. At seven years old, Isla asked a simple question: what if kids could earn screen time by learning first? That question became Wyzly — a learn-to-earn platform that ends daily screen time battles without punishment, restriction, or power struggles. Instead of ripping the device away, Wyzly locks the apps and gives kids 5 to 10 curriculum-aligned questions to answer — specific to their grade, school, and school district — before the device unlocks. The whole thing takes about five minutes. The bunny runs across the screen, and the apps open back up. We dig into what too much screen time is actually doing to kids' brains, why the lock-and-block method always fails, and why giving kids the power to earn their own screen time changes everything. We also cover how the parent portal works, how Wyzly compares to Bark, and what's coming next — including avatars, brand partnerships, and Android. Larry has been using it with his 10 and 12 year old and it's already changing behavior, reducing anxiety, and eliminating the daily battle. Use code DAD20 when you download Wyzly for 20% off the $6.99 monthly membership. Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:02] Meet Isla — ten-year-old competitive gymnast, co-founder, and the brains behind Wyzly [4:24] Adam's background — private equity investor, founder, and dad of two girls [8:22] The idea that started it all — a seven-year-old's question that no app had ever answered [13:06] Why Adam went looking for the app in the App Store first — and what he found [15:48] Larry's firsthand experience using Wyzly with his 10 and 12 year old — and what changed [16:21] Two plus years building a category that didn't exist — and thousands of downloads in 60 days [19:44] How Wyzly actually works — what the device does, how the bunny unlocks the screen, and why kids love it [21:14] What makes it different — curriculum and school district specific questions powered by their own AI [23:03] How many questions, how long it takes, and what happens when you get them wrong [27:45] Why Wyzly flips the script — from power struggle to collaboration [29:12] Available now for kindergarten through sixth grade — and what's coming next [31:20] What too much screen time is actually doing to kids' brains — from Isla and Adam's firsthand experience [35:07] The data Wyzly is collecting on brain breaks and how they're helping kids regulate better [38:36] How Wyzly compares to Bark — and the key difference in the learn-to-earn model [41:03] No Family Sharing required — scan a QR code and it works instantly [47:34] Isla's next big idea inside the app — customizable avatars earned through points, with brand partnerships coming Five Key Takeaways The lock-and-block method doesn't work. Ripping away a device causes rage and resentment — it doesn't teach kids anything. Giving kids the ability to earn their screen time changes the entire dynamic from power struggle to collaboration. Too much uninterrupted screen time changes your child's behavior, attitude, and anxiety levels — and most parents can see it clearly but don't have a sustainable tool to address it. A five-minute learning break before screen time is not a punishment. It's a speed bump — and kids who earn their time actually look forward to the process rather than resenting the restriction. School district and grade-specific AI-powered questions mean your child is reinforcing exactly what they're learning in school right now — not generic content that may or may not be relevant. Giving kids ownership changes everything. When a child earns their own screen time, they don't need to run to mom or dad and beg. The battle disappears because the child is empowered.

A seven-year-old saw the problem clearly and asked the right question. What if kids could earn it instead of just have it taken away? Three years later, that question is a real app, changing real behavior in real homes — including Larry's. Download Wyzly, use code DAD20 for 20% off, and let your kids earn it.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, April 29, is the Memorial of St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380). This fourteenth-century Italian saint, a tertiary of the Dominican Order, was favored with visions from the age of seven.She was distinguished for a life of prayer, extraordinary mortifications, and compelling spiritual writings, such as Dialogue, the book of her meditations and revelations.She addressed letters to cardinals and kings and led ongoing appeals for civil peace and Church reform.In 1366, when all of Siena was celebrating the carnival, and Catherine was praying in her room, Christ and our Blessed Lady appeared to her.Taking Catherine's hand, our Lady held it up to her Son to place a ring on it, one visible to Catherine but not to others.Later, Catherine received an invisible stigmata, which became visible after her death, and through which she accepted the physical agonies of the crucifixion.Though always suffering terrible physical pain, living for long intervals with practically no food except the Blessed Sacrament, she was full of practical wisdom and the greatest spiritual insight.She made such a profound impression on Pope Gregory XI that he left Avignon, despite the opposition of the French king and almost the entire Sacred College, and returned to Rome in 1377.Catherine besought Christ to let her bear the punishment for the sins of the world and to receive the sacrifice of her body for the unity and renovation of the Church. This petition was answered by a vision in which the Bark of Peter was laid upon her shoulders, crushing her with its weight.After a prolonged and mysterious agony, during which she was paralyzed from the waist downward, Catherine died on April 29, 1380.She said, "All the way to heaven is heaven because He said, 'I am the Way."Alleluia! Christ is Risen!Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Breaking The Silence with Dr Gregory Williams Navigating Youth Safety and Human Trafficking in the Digital Age Guest, Heidi Chance, Author of the book "Talk to Them: Navigating Difficult Conversations with Youth in the Digital Age." This Week's Guest will be Heidi Chance. Heidi is the author of the book: "Talk to Them: Navigating Difficult Conversations with Youth in the Digital Age." She has over 27 years of distinguished law enforcement experience and is recognized as one of the nation's leading subject matter experts in sex trafficking, undercover operations and online safety. This episode of Breaking the Silence features host Dr. Gregory Williams and guest Detective Heidi Chance, a 27-year law enforcement veteran and expert in sex trafficking. The discussion centers on the urgent need for personal boundaries and the evolving dangers of the "digital white van"—the smartphone—which has become the primary tool for child exploitation. The Philosophy of Personal Boundaries Dr. Gregory Williams opens the program by defining boundaries as "guardrails" designed to protect individuals from falling into "deep ditches" or off "cliffs" in their personal lives. He emphasizes that boundaries are not about being standoffish but are essential for safety and minimizing emotional damage. He identifies several critical areas for boundary-setting, including Time (learning to say "no" to protect family time), Emotional (avoiding the "vicarious trauma" of taking on others' pain), and Mental (shutting the door on negative, intrusive thoughts). He notes that for those who have experienced trauma, the goal is often a "manageable life" rather than a return to a perceived "normal." The Digital "White Van" and Online Exploitation Detective Heidi Chance introduces the concept of the "digital white van," explaining that the traditional stranger-danger threat has moved from the street into the child's bedroom via the smartphone. Statistics show a 93% increase in online child exploitation since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Predators are increasingly bypassing traffickers to message children directly on platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Detective Chance warns that grooming is alarmingly fast; in undercover operations, she has seen the transition from an initial greeting to a request for a physical meeting happen in as little as 23 minutes. Law Enforcement Challenges and High-Risk Events The conversation highlights a significant gap in proactive law enforcement. In large cities like Phoenix, only a handful of detectives are dedicated to undercover sex trafficking work, leaving many departments purely reactive. This vulnerability is exacerbated during major events like the Super Bowl or the World Cup, which attract traffickers who follow the "client" base. Detective Chance stresses that because police are overwhelmed, parents must take the lead in educating their children and monitoring their digital footprints. Strategies for Parental Intervention Detective Chance provides practical advice for parents, including the use of specialized devices like Bark or Gabb phones that have built-in safety filters. She emphasizes that parents should never allow phones in bedrooms at night and should lead by example. When discussing difficult topics, she recommends "rapport building" and "verbal judo" rather than immediate confrontation, which can cause a child to shut down. If a child is caught in a "sextortion" or compromising photo situation, parents are urged to stay calm, capture evidence with a separate device, and contact professionals immediately rather than engaging the predator themselves. The digital landscape has fundamentally changed the nature of child safety, requiring parents to move beyond the "white van" warnings of the past. By establishing firm personal boundaries and actively monitoring digital interactions, families can create a safer environment against the rising tide of online exploitation. As Dr. Williams notes, as long as there is "air in your lungs," there is hope for healing and protection.
Wolfman & Spunky head for the stars in this cosmic edition of The 70s Vs The 80s.This week, we each carve out our personal Mount Rushmore of Moon Songs and Space Songs—and the debate gets heated fast.

Rick Watson breaks down four stories shaping e-commerce and retail this week: Shopify's partner town hall reveals a company that treats API chaos as a brand attribute — and why that's a problem for any hyperscaler ambition. Lowe's bets $99 can put a red vest inside your home twice a year, and why that physical touchpoint is worth more than any app can replicate. The Watson Weekly is sponsored by Avalara — automated tax compliance built for Shopify merchants, from calculation to returns. For more details: https://avalara.watsonweekly.com/USPS wants an 8% fuel surcharge — the first in its history — and what the gap between that and Amazon's 3.5% tells you about structural efficiency. And Allbirds is done: not restructuring, not pivoting — dissolved, with a $4 billion brand selling for $39 million. Plus the Investor Minute: Zipline's $200M Series H, Cintas acquiring UniFirst for $5.5B, OpenAI snapping up Astral, Puratos buying Dawn Foods, and why Bark isn't going private yet.
Send us Fan MailMost teams are asking the wrong question when it comes to theme nights—and it's costing them ticket revenue. In this episode, Jeremy Neisser breaks down a practical, repeatable framework for building theme nights around real audiences, not random ideas. If you want your promotions to actually sell tickets (and grow year over year), this is the blueprint.Key Topics Covered Why “What theme night should we do?” is the wrong starting point The shift from idea-first thinking → audience-first strategy The 4-part framework every successful theme night must have: Clear audience Reachable list Organizer/advocate Compelling reason to attend How weak theme nights fail (and why they don't drive group sales) Real examples of audience-driven nights (Korean Night, Healthcare Appreciation, Bark in the Park) How to evaluate and score your current theme nights for effectiveness The role of organizers (coaches, principals, business leaders) in scaling ticket sales Building momentum: turning 200-ticket nights into 500+ year-over-year Why specificity beats broad appeal when trying to grow attendance Timestamps00:00 – Introduction: Why most theme nights don't work 00:26 – The common mistake teams make when planning promotions 00:54 – Theme nights as audience strategy (not ideas) 01:46 – The wrong question teams are asking 02:16 – Start with audience: the foundation of every successful night 03:15 – Real-world examples of targeted theme nights 04:10 – Build the idea for the audience (not the other way around) 05:07 – The 4-part theme night framework 05:37 – Defining a clear, specific audience 06:05 – Do you actually have a list to reach them? 06:34 – The importance of having an organizer/advocate 07:03 – Creating a compelling reason to rally a group 07:58 – Challenges at the minor league and college level 09:22 – The 4-point filter to evaluate your theme nights 10:20 – Using momentum to grow attendance year-over-year 11:14 – Leveraging past success to scale future nights 12:13 – Why specificity drives results 13:10 – Prioritizing high-impact theme nights 14:07 – Continuous improvement and iteration 15:04 – Final takeaway: audience first, always 15:34 – Wrap-up and next stepsCore TakeawayTheme nights aren't promotions—they're audience acquisition strategies.If you don't have: A clearly defined audience A way to reach them Someone to organize them A reason for them to show up …you don't have a theme night.

CLOSURE, 9min., USA Directed by Dainique Jones In this dance film, we watch a couple unravel into a cycle of control, distance, and longing. Through movement rather than words, the film explores the weight of regret—the ache of what cannot be undone, and the haunting persistence of love that has turned toxic. A visceral portrait of connection and loss. https://www.wildsound.ca/videos/audience-feedback-closure https://www.instagram.com/littlekat_x3/ https://www.instagram.com/dainiquej/ —— Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod/ https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod
The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/032826.cfmJesus no longer walked about in public, hiding behind the veil because the people of God were not spiritually seeing Him. They were still viewing reality with worldly, materialistic eyes. The chief priests and Pharisees feared that if everyone proclaimed Jesus King, the Romans would crush their nation and take away their land. Ironically, they were partially correct; in 70 A.D., the temple was destroyed, and the Jews were dispersed. Yet, Jesus was offering a way out of this fear by establishing not a worldly kingdom, but a spiritual one that would bring true peace by grafting all nations into the Tree of Jesse.Jesus came to gather the dispersed children of God—not just the Israelites, but all who are predestined for heaven. He established a new Israel, founded not on the twelve tribes of old, but on the twelve Apostles. As seen in Revelation, the walls of the heavenly Jerusalem rest on twelve foundation stones bearing the names of the Apostles. This foundation endures forever. Through the prophet Ezekiel, the Lord promised a new Exodus, gathering His people from all nations to make them one nation with one prince: Christ, the Son of David. He is the one Shepherd for them all.In the Old Testament, when a king left on a mission, he gave his keys to his steward. Jesus gave the keys to the kingdom of heaven to His steward, Peter, the Rock upon which the Church is built. Peter's successor, the Pope, and the successors of the Apostles, the bishops, continue to shepherd the faithful. There is to be no division. Never again shall there be two nations or two kingdoms. The Church is one, completely united in the Holy Spirit. Just as a soul animates a body, the Holy Spirit unites the many members of the Church. When members are paralyzed by mortal sin, they hang limply, but they can be cured through repentance and confession.Despite this divine design, divisions persist. Since the Protestant Reformation, there have been countless splits. In the United States alone, there are over 1,200 denominations; worldwide, estimates exceed 30,000. Each claims the Holy Spirit guides them, yet the Holy Spirit is not a relativist or schizophrenic. He is the bond of love and truth. True unity requires one form of worship, one set of sacraments, one faith, and one government. Diversity is beautiful, but it must not mean division.We cannot fall into the error of Caiaphas, who viewed things materially. The high priesthood was meant to be for life, yet corruption led to yearly rotations. Jesus wants us to see beyond worldly eyes. He established a new covenant, an everlasting one based on His body and blood. Christ is the new Temple; we are temples of God. God no longer dwells in a geographical location like Jerusalem. The Book of Revelation unveils this new age where God dwells in the Church, the Body of Christ.We must stay within the boat, the Bark of Peter, as we journey to our promised land. Amidst global division, we must remember Our Lady, who kept her children united just as she formed the Body of Christ in her womb. Saint Maximilian Kolbe taught that if we do not want Mary as our mother, we cannot have Christ as our brother. Saint Cyprian of Carthage added that if we want God as our Father, we must have the Church as our mother. May we remain united as one body, diverse yet one, under the one Shepherd who leads us to our one Father in heaven. ★ Support this podcast ★
This week's episode is one I won't forget. Jeremy Schaaf reached out to me back in December with an idea—to build a custom pedestal base for my Iowa buck. What started as a simple message turned into something way bigger. Jeremy designed it, built it by hand, and then drove 13 hours from South Dakota to my house… just to surprise me with it. In a world where a lot of things feel transactional, this was the complete opposite. Jeremy is not only an elite woodworker, but he's the kind of guy you don't come across very often anymore—genuine, humble, and as real as it gets. We get into his background, his passion for woodworking, his love for hunting, and what drives him to do things at a different level. This one is about more than just a mount—it's about people.
