Mike Brockway found himself on the path to FI after buying and house hacking his first property. Because he wanted to stop working for big corporations, he quit his W-2 the same day he closed his second property. Now, he is a full-time real estate investor and business owner. In this episode, Mike breaks down his first three residential investment properties and his events business. He also talks about his brief stint with “Top Chef: Colorado”, how he saved up on taxes, and the opportunities his business has opened up for him.

"The first time I did a Top Chef Colorado, says Chef Brother Luck from Four by Luck in Colorado Springs, that was more about anger. I was angry at myself for losing the show. And I understood why. I was disappointed in myself. Coming back for the second season and doing Top Chef, Kentucky was a decision that I probably shouldn't have made. I was so quick to want to validate myself from losing the previous season and feeling like it was unfinished that. I went back and I wasn't in a good mental place. And in the end, I think that's where a lot of young chefs don't understand, is you have to take care of your mental health." What we covered in this episode From depression to raising awareness for mental heath issues Chef Brother Luck shares his "big lesson" after being on multiple cooking TV shows like Beat Bobby Flay, Chopped, and Last Chance Kitchen. Cooking on television isn't real. It's entertainment.  Chef Brother Luck takes us to the time when he was told "pack you knives and go!" when he lost Last Chance Kitchen. The elimination from Bravo's Top Chef was the beginning of some important life changes for Chef Brother Luck.  Chef Brother Luck had a very traumatic childhood. "I never realized how much that was going to affect me as a man. I built up a lot of anger from all that pain. And you can only hold that in for so long." "And all it takes is one fracture of a scenario to break it and it's coming out. You don't know how to handle that. And I think that was where I was at at that point in my life when when I got kicked off Top Chef, Kentucky. Losing the show was the trigger." "That was a really hard time. And I was one of the fortunate ones to say, you know, I need help. And I want to go talk to my therapist. I need to be around people that actually care about me because I felt used at that time. And I think when you're in a situation where you feel used or taken advantage of, you're gonna shut down. And that's exactly what I was doing." His therapist diagnosed him with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) about two years ago, which stemmed from experiences like the passing of his father and violence in his childhood. Chef Brother Luck came to realize that sharing his story helps other chefs and cooks struggling with the same challenges. "When someone's dealing with depression or insecurities or not feeling like they belong or they're looking for validation, the answer isn't to ask them “are you OK?” I think the answer is to share your own story so they don't feel alone." "I think we don't have a labor shortage right now. We have bad leaders. So we have to change our our culture. So I think that's where it starts." Read Chef Brother Luck's essay about mental health and depression (link to article in the "link mentioned in this episode" section below) From cooking for necessity to owning Four by Luck restaurant in Colorado Springs "I never wanted to be a chef until they told me I was good at cooking. And that compliment is what I became hungry for. I wanted that attention. I spent my whole career chasing that approval of that male role model." Chef Brother Luck mentions the benefits of Griffith Center for Children, C-CAP, and Pro-Start programs. The cuisine at Four by Luck is continuously influenced by four main providers who supply the ingredients  "The Hunter, The Gatherer, The Fisherman, The Farmer" Influenced by a recent trip he made to Japan, Chef Brother Luck transcribed the love that Japan has for nature, menus celebrating the four seasons into his local region in Southern Colorado. "It's not about which ingredient is the best each season. It's about the transformation of the ingredient from the season." For Chef Brother Luck at Four by Luck, cooking is about survival.  The story of each ingredient as it transforms through the season is what it's about. Favorite ingredients: Huitlacoche, pronounced weet-la-COH-cheh, is a fungus that grows on ears of corn, and,

This week Richard sits down at the Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach during the Newport Beach Food & Wine Fest with Top Chef Colorado contestants Joe Flamm, Joe Sasto and Chris Scott to talk about their recent run on the show including Chef Flamm’s win, how they have stayed so tight since filming wrapped up, and where Top Chef compares to other cooking competition shows.

We’re heading into the end of the calendar year, and with The 2017 List-ening looming, it’s the perfect time to revisit one of the year’s most fascinating and puzzling entries, the return of Twin Peaks. Joining Kate to break down the alternately confusing and compelling season is friend of the show Emily L. Stephens of The A.V. Club. Before we dive into the strange world of Frost and Lynch, however, there’s a very full week of TV to discuss.First Noel and Kate look at the comedies, including the holiday returns of Psych and Superstore, the finale of Broad City, and the epic 99th episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. After a brief dip into reality to discuss the premiere of Top Chef, it’s time for the week’s genre episodes. Noel only lasted about 10 minutes into the Happy! premiere, and we chat about why. Then there’s the premiere of Agents of SHIELD, a dramatic return on Outlander, and the fall finales of Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, The Flash, and Arrow. Which series are getting their silliness quotient right and which could stand to be a bit less precious?
