What happens when you combine a couple of foolish beer nerds and a food wizard? Gold, Jerry... wait, that's not our show. What happens is anentertaining conversation with Chef Taylor Jones about his journey from food prepping for his kids to the successful business that is Burn Theory Fire Kitchen. Taylor joins hosts Nigel Woodberry and Nick Parker to spill the beans... errrrr totz, on his approach to food and what drives him to deliver "Instagram-worthy" trays to every customer at any of the three Kansas City area breweries offering up the goods from his kitchen — Diametric, Grains & Taps or Strange Days Brewing. Between sips, bites and off-topic banter, the conversation highlights the role food concepts play in the business of breweries and taprooms and reminds us, Nigel and Nick should've been eating during each of the previous 126 episodes.

Taylor Jones sits down with Connor Cushman, a sharp short-term rental agent and investor, to explore his innovative "slow burster" strategy—a refined twist on the traditional buy, rehab, rent, refi, repeat model. Connor explains how blending the steady fundamentals of long-term rentals with the high revenue and cash flow of short-term rentals lets you hold a property for a full year of proven performance, thereby transforming equity and opening doors to premium refinancing or sale opportunities. Drawing on his experiences in North Georgia's competitive market, he breaks down the importance of smart property selection, strategic amenity upgrades, and keeping an eye on market fundamentals like interest rates and ROI. Whether you're a budding investor or a seasoned pro looking to 10x your results, this conversation is packed with actionable insights to elevate your STR game. 

The common tendency to overthink can be overcome, and Taylor Jones provides helpful insight in this process by answering the following questions: What is "overthinking"? What are the fruits produced by mature thinking, and the negative fruit produced by overthinking? Is it possible to overthink the Christian life? How can we curb the tendency to overthink ourselves, and our relationships? And how do we move from being preoccupied with ourselves to worshiping Christ?
