What do a high school jock turned Danny Zuko, a lung-collapse survivor in the middle of the 2008 crash, and a bourbon-country hotelier have in common? Will Hardy. In this episode, Zach sits down with Will — a creative entrepreneur, real estate maverick, and placemaker behind The Trail Hotel in Bardstown, Kentucky — to unpack a life defined by bold pivots, relentless grit, and audacious vision. From sneaking into a high school audition that would change his trajectory, to flipping 800+ homes, to nearly losing it all during the housing collapse, Will's story is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. You'll hear how desperation sharpened his creativity, how a hustler's spirit turned $100 into a flipping empire, and how faith, grit, and a little bourbon fueled his latest masterpiece: a $30M boutique hotel on the Bourbon Trail that's redefining Kentucky hospitality. But this isn't just a story about bricks, bourbon, and business. It's about a man who refused to be boxed in — who chased acting gigs in LA, launched a film production company, produced a feature on Milton Hershey, and still found the courage to start over (multiple times) with his wife and kids by his side. If you've ever wondered what it takes to chase audacious dreams, survive catastrophic setbacks, and build something truly lasting — this conversation will light a fire under you.Expect stories of mimosa-fueled negotiations, clown costumes that saved real estate deals, and the kind of visionary thinking that transforms abandoned Holiday Inns into Napa Valley–level destinations for bourbon lovers.   Explore The Trail Hotel: https://www.thetrailhotel.com Follow The Trail Hotel: https://www.instagram.com/thetrailhotel   Behind the Stays is brought to you by Journey — a first-of-its-kind loyalty program that brings together an alliance of the world's top independently owned and operated stays and allows travelers to earn points and perks on boutique hotels, vacation rentals, treehouses, ski chalets, glamping experiences and so much more.

In this week's basketball coaching conversation, Utah Jazz assistant coach Mike Williams joins the Basketball Podcast to share insights on after action offensive concepts.Mike Williams joined the Utah Jazz as an assistant coach in 2023, serving under head coach Will Hardy. His rise to the NBA coaching ranks followed a standout tenure as head coach of the Capital City Go-Go, the G League affiliate of the Washington Wizards. During the 2022–23 season, Williams led the Go-Go to a franchise-best 25–7 record, establishing the team as one of the top-performing units in the league. His leadership helped the Go-Go finish with one of the most efficient offenses in the G League, despite operating with a roster that lacked consistent perimeter shooting. Williams emphasized pace, spacing, and decision-making, and his teams were known for their ability to execute in late-game situations and adapt to personnel strengths.Williams began his coaching career with the Washington Wizards organization in 2018 as a player development assistant, where he worked closely with NBA players returning from injury and helped guide on-court rehab and skill development. He later served as an assistant coach and director of player development for the Go-Go before being promoted to head coach in 2021.
