After my last adventure in San Antonio at Tejas Rodeo, I began to make my way to the US/Mexican border on my way to Monterrey, the capital city of the Northeastern Mexican state called Nuevo León. I hop into an Uber where I manage to communicate a little in broken Spanish to my driver, who couldn't speak any English. Thankfully my host spoke English, but I was looking forward to practising my Spanish with the locals.  FREE WALKING TOUR MONTERREY In order to immerse myself into the city's culture as quickly as possible, I decided to attend a free walking tour. Before I get into the sights and sounds of this new city, I need to mention before leaving San Antonio, I visited the Alamo and the River Walk, which is a 15-mile long winding waterway that offers visitors loads of options in the way of food and shopping. Sadly, I didn't have too much recorded for those two visits as I didn't really get a chance to run into a local who could share much of the history. So, imagine my surprise when I met Brent before the walking tour here. And he's a guide himself – from San Antonio.   SAN ANTONIO RIVER WALK I told Brent about the last few spots I visited in San Antonio, and I was gifted with some really great insights, especially about the River Walk. "The river is the whole reason the city began in that region because it was called Yaniguana, meaning 'refreshing waters'…."  When Brent isn't proudly showing people around his wonderful city, he has a full-time job in finance. He began guiding because it offered him a creative outlet and a way to meet people from all over the world, so we got on just perfectly.Brent went on to tell me that…  "San Antonio is the 7th largest city in the US, in terms of population. We're around 1.4 million people in the urban area. Urban downtown, we are ranked 31st in the US. What really sets it apart is the history you have there, in terms of what took place on the land but also the history that you see every day walking on the streets. We've become the top tourist section in Texas because of the things people can see and do there. Austin is making a great stretch towards that" We went on to speak about the music and the unique weirdness that made up Austin, another great Texan City, and Brent told me more about the differences between San Antonio and Austin. Specifically that San Antonio number 1 industry is ranching and cattle drives. Brent is a great guy, and if you ever find yourself in San Antonio, contact Amigo Free Walking Tours to have Brent take you on a guided tour of the city he loves so much. SIGHT-SEEING IN MONTERREY I enjoy taking free walking tours as one of my first activities in a new city because you get great tips on where to go, from restaurants to bars, museums, and other interesting spots to visit. Our guide on this tour is Clarissa, who like Brent, also has a very different day job.  "I'm a geophysicist so I work from Monday to Friday, and on weekends I offer this kind of tour because I want to improve my English and because I want to know people around the world and know something about the cities where they live". During our two-hour walking tour, we visited 13 important places in downtown Monterrey Clarissa explains that the old town, where I was right then, happened to be the area that is the most representative of this charming city's culture and history. The Museo de Historia Mexicana is a magnificent building by the Canal Santa Lucía and one of the most important places to see in Monterrey. When you purchase a ticket for the museum, you get an additional ticket for a second museum next door. And that's an even more impressive building. I was excited to see the museum, so I visited it a few days later, but before I tell you all about my visit to the museum, let's get back to my chat with Clarissa. She grew up in this vibrant city, and as she explains, with it being such a big city, you need to adapt to a very different pace. Everyone is always in 'hurry up' mode, and if you want to live here, you'll need to get used to this chaotic rhythm. "We're the third most popular city to visit in Mexico", explains Clarissa – but that's more visitors for business. She also confirmed my suspicions that English wasn't as common in this city as one might think.  "Education in this part of Mexico is not too good. A lot of people don't speak English very well."  Clarissa was an excellent guide, and if you're looking to take a great tour through downtown Monterrey you can find her here on Facebook ­– Free Walking Tours Monterrey and meet her at the meeting point every Sunday. Remember to tell her I say hi! MUSEO DE HISTORIA MEXICANA A few days later, I took Clarissa up on her suggestion, and I made my way to the Museo de Historia Mexicana. While it's a historical museum, it's very modern and interactive, and while everything is generally in Spanish, three small screens were translated to English. Unfortunately, only one of the three was working that day.  As I mentioned, everything was interactive, and I found myself on an old train and where the windows should be, were screens with landscape displays that took me right back in time as we were told the story of the city's beginnings from 1915 to 1940. It's an experience you should simply not miss.  MUSEO DEL NORESTE The second museum that you get the free ticket with your ticket for Museo de Historia Mexicana is in the building next to it. This one is the museum about the northeast of Mexico called Museo del Noreste, and is well worth the visit too. So, when you come through, make sure you bank on enough time to see both, and if your Spanish isn't up to scratch (like mine – haha), you may want to get an English speaking guide.  CANAL BOAT RIDE After I visited the two museums, I went on a boat ride that took me down the beautiful Canal de Santa Lucía, which took me to the amazing museum – called Museo del Acero Horno 3. It was quite beautiful and dedicated to the city's history with steel manufacturing. I do enjoy visiting museums in different countries because it helps give me a true reflection of the history and culture.  IT'S TIME TO HIKE My week in Monterrey had seen some very rainy and overcast days, but I met up with my guide Luis this Thursday despite a few rain clouds in the sky. He was going to take me on a hike to see the beauty of the natural landscape around Monterrey and visit a waterfall.  I found Luis off of Airbnb Experiences, and he was a little late (Mexican time, as he humorously explained). Still, he was excited to take me on the hike, with a warning that the poor weather would make it a muddy experience but that it was one of his favourite hikes.  It's hard to imagine that you are treated to the most beautiful foliage, a river, and some exceptional waterfalls just outside of the city. The mountains around Monterrey are beautiful, but this was not the hike we were doing on the day. That day we made our way to Lastanzuela waterfall, and in fact, this was the first time I had used the Airbnb Experiences product, and I was pretty pleased with my experience.  Luis explained that he had started doing these experiences to help pay for his paragliding lessons. At the time, he was studying Entrepreneurship in the city, and he told me of his dreams to become a digital nomad: "I've always wanted to have my own business and then travel the world."  MONTERREY WEATHER CHANGES A LOT As we continue along our hike, which was muddy and very slippery, Luis told me that the weather in Monterrey could be quite extreme because the weather changes a great deal. I was there at the beginning of winter, and I was pleased to hear that I was missing the coldest of months. The biggest issue drivers may find in this area is the very dangerous ice on the roads.  MEXICANS ARE NORTH AMERICANS TOO I asked Luis how he felt about the Trump campaign to 'build the wall', and he said it was very upsetting for some people because "we are like brothers."  Luis also spoke about how the previous Mexican president had quite a lot to say about Trump's campaign and that within the Mexican community, they find his English quite amusing. I took some time to find you a clip: Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto speaking English. It is quite funny. MORE TO COME FROM MONTERREY That's all for this episode, but in the next episode, I continue to chat to Luis as we go on our hike, and I booked another Airbnb experience – watching a big football match with a local. So make sure you tune in next week to hear more about the fun I had in Monterrey. There's also a bit of mystery around the next episode, all to do with a message I received from someone I met in Bosnia Herzegovina. I know you're curious so let's make a date for next week where I reveal all.  Until then, my name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving.

Chris & Kelsey drive on the wrong side of the road and piss off an entire outback hunting village. The Classic Film: Razorback (1984) "As a vicious wild boar terrorizes the Australian outback, the husband of one of the victims is joined by a hunter and a farmer in a search for the beast” (IMDb.com). A (perhaps unsurprisingly) beautiful and striking horror film in the vein of Tremors or Jaws, Razorback most disappoints when you aren't getting *enough* of the good stuff. The Modern Film: The Loved Ones (2009) "When Brent turns down his classmate Lola's invitation to the prom, she concocts a wildly violent plan for revenge” (IMDb.com). The Loved Ones is unmistakably torture-porn-esque, but it manages to charm even these two haters of the genre with its compelling characters and teen drama tropes.

Allison from Everett has asked Fitz for help with her boyfriend Brent who she calls a “grown-ass kid”. Allison says Brent does not understand that “working from home” is actually working, and he doesn’t just interrupt her with goofy questions while she is working, but he wanders into her work Zoom meetings, sometimes in his underwear, and whenever she is not on the computer, he uses it to play video games and sometimes closes out all her windows. To make matters worse, Allison is the only bread winner right now, and she is legit afraid his behavior will affect her job. When Brent comes on he admits he is kind of acting like a slacker because he is enjoying being off work for the first time in ages and sometimes he just loses track of time and totally forgets she is actually working. He also wishes she would get her work done faster so she can spend more time slacking around with him. When the P1’s weigh in, we learn a lot about…well, how to play “Doom.”

Have you ever wanted to get out there and start performing? Maybe solo at an open mic night, maybe getting involved in the local blues jam, maybe starting or joining a band - or even going out and getting paying gigs as a live performer.   If so, you might have found yourself in the situation many of us do: our skills are up to scratch but we’re still not ready. Emotionally, mentally, psychologically, we just have some kind of barrier that stops us from taking the plunge.   Today on the show we have a returning guest, our friend Brent Vaartstra from the Learn Jazz Standards podcast, and his new show, Passive Income Musician.   When Brent was with us before, we talked mostly about jazz and improvisation, but today we wanted to dig into something different with him: what it’s like to be a gigging musician. From the practicalities to the juicy mindset stuff that can make the difference between sitting alone at home practicing by yourself for the rest of your life - and getting out there and sharing your music with the world confidently in a variety of musical situations.   Brent shares some really valuable insights and actionable tips, including:   • The number one most important thing to do in advance of a session or gig • How to handle a new and intimidating performance situation, especially as an introvert • And we talk about “Imposter Syndrome” - that psychological phenomenon where you continually worry you’ll be found out as a fraud - even when you are actually good enough for what you’re doing - and Brent shares his six tips for overcoming it.   We loved having this opportunity to draw on Brent’s expertise and wisdom beyond the world of jazz, and we know you’re going to find a ton of valuable stuff here, especially if performing is part of your musical life - or you wish it would be!   Subscribe For Future Episodes!

“The opposite of love is not hatred, but indifference.” Elie Weisel If you’ve been here for a while, know that we don’t usually interview men on this show (Quick shout out to past guest guys like Joel Smallbone and Van Moody). Most of our guests are female because one of our main goals is to highlight positive role models for girls and that means, most of the time, those role models are women. But we’re switching things up for today’s show, and I’ll tell you right now -- this one’s gonna be a tough and emotional one for me. When Brent and I got started in ministry and trying to impact girls, come alongside and support them to walk in their God-given identities, we started to reach out to a lot of different people mostly because we were entering uncharted territory for us. We had both spent time working in the professional world. So we started to branch out and build relationships with lots of people all over the place – church leaders, people in the book publishing and media industries and we found so many amazing people who helped us, supported us and as you know even now the circle of folks who have dedicated their lives to helping girls follow Jesus, be who God made them to be, that circle is a small one but we did find one couple we immediately gravitated to and became friends with for a lot of reasons – Jonathan and Wynter Pitts. And while I wish Wynter could be here with us (Be sure to go back and listen to her episode – it’s #71), I’m so excited to have Jonathan here for this interview because I know you’re going to be blessed by this conversation. Father to four girls, Alena, Kaity, Camryn and Olivia, Jonathan’s heart for God and his girls is so inspirational. To me, he is a modern hero of faith whose friendship has meant so much to our family. Don’t miss today’s episode. It’s gonna bless you to hear all about how the Pitts family is adjusting to life in Tennessee after moving there from Texas. Any Friday Night Lights fans out there? #texasforever He also shares a lot about what the Lord is showing him in this season and all about the book he and Wynter wrote together (JP sent in the final manuscript for #Emptiedbook the day Wynter passed away). He’s sharing details and insights for how to approach marriage with intentionality, sacrificial love, and the grace that covers it when we get it wrong. Other questions from today’s episode include: Do you feel like the approach to marriage that you and Wynter took relieved any pressure of you feeling like all the other married people were doing it better? What has it meant to you to carry Wynter’s legacy forward – not just in your shared approach to marriage – but the impact she had in her ministry for girls all over the world? What’s up next for you and the girls and how can we be praying for you? All our married, soon-to-be-married, and single people looking to marry one day, be sure to get over to emptiedbook.com watch the video and download the F R E E devotional. You will NOT regret it!

This episode is sponsored by my awesome web host, LiquidWeb I think at some point many web developers are posed with the question of growing their business into an agency or staying on the solo path (even if you have a team, you may choose to stay small). I waffled with this for a long time. You guys have heard me say over and over again that it had never been my intention to build websites. I fell in love with WordPress, started playing around with it and the next thing I knew I was bartering a website in exchange to having some tile done in my house. At the time, it was a win-win. Looking back sometimes I wonder if it was choosing the wrong fork in the road, but I guess that's how we learn, right? Fast forward to a few years after that first project and I had hired a developer and a designer. The only problem with doing this was that I never really learned to properly price my projects. A couple years after having hired the developer and designer I had a project manager and an outsourcing company (other WordPress site builders, like myself, were using my developers and designers). At the time it seemed like a smart decision. It was great cash flow and didn't require much on my end. It did, however, give me a much higher overhead than I ever wanted and all of the sudden I felt trapped.   The good news is if you really love what you're doing and have a passion for building websites, you can learn how to scale your business into an agency with larger projects that are much more profitable than the freelancing only route. That's what Brent Weaver of Ugurus learned. Brent got into website building at a young age, continued doing so with a good friend (still his business partner), learned a lot of the mistakes we all make along the way, then figured out how to scale his business the right way. Questions I Asked Brent Before we get into Ugurus, what were you doing before you launched the company? What brought you to creating Ugurus? (Why did you start the company?) When you launched Ugurus, was the Bootcamp your first product? What are some of the things that get in the way of people creating an agency (moving from freelancer or solo entrepreneur to agency owner) When I was looking at the 10 weeks of the bootcamp, one of the things that stood out to me was in week 4, the anatomy of the $10k project: Discover why you need to transition how you present yourself. I noticed a huge difference once I scaled my team and it wasn't just me. Any tips you can share without giving away your course? Are there common characteristics you find that make someone a good agency owner (vs. staying a freelancer)? When should someone consider expanding their team? When's the next Bootcamp? What You're Going to Learn What Brent was doing in Australia for 6 months and how he realized cubicle life wasn't for him How he and his partner almost ran their business into the ground When it's good to have office space (what are the 'right reasons') How investing in mentoring and coaches shifted the business (and created a business they could sell after 12 years) When Brent realized there was something to the teaching and training he was doing (hint: he was creating content) What the first Ugurus course was How they've built their team of coaches What courses Ugurus offers Like Brent mentioned in the episode, you can get access to their Web Design Sales kit!
