So why start a podcast? Well, in my line of work, which is mortgages that I do all across the nation, I've had the pleasure to meet so many incredible individuals that come from so many different backgrounds. And so I thought to myself, why not share some of these stories? Why not bring them in? People that have made it through the trenches and now they're beyond sharing personal stories and actionable strategies, whether that's in business, whether that's in their personal lives, whatever it is.

We are going to be sharing these stories and learning a few things along the way. So maybe you're in college, maybe you're in the military, maybe you're exiting the military and trying to figure out what you're going to do with your life. Maybe you're starting your own Amazon company on the side to make extra cash. Maybe you're driving for Uber trying to wonder what is next? How am I going to get to the next level? Maybe you're trying to figure out social media and you're trying to market yourself and further your business and further your brand. Maybe you're making five figures and you're trying to make six figures.

Maybe you're making six figures and you're trying to make it to seven figures. All of these things that I just described, they were me at one point and they're probably one of you that's listening or watching. So I'll be talking to a wide range of guests, entrepreneurs, CEOs, military veterans, industry experts, social media experts, branding experts, people that have been in the trenches and have come out on top. They're going to be sharing their stories. They're going to be sharing their challenges and what they did to move through.

to the next level. Whether you're brand new to your industry, whether you're seasoned veteran, whether you're starting from day one or you're on day 1,000, you are going to get actionable strategies and value from these conversations. This is my first time even attempting to start a podcast, so I'm sure I'll make mistakes, but Beyond the Trenches is something that I've been thinking about for a while. I didn't quite have the name down. I didn't know what I was gonna call it, but I knew that all the individuals that I've met,

through social media, through work, through my network, through my community that have like absolutely amazing stories to be honest with you. And these need to be shared. People are going through these same exact things that they're going through, are trying to figure out how to make it through to the next side. And you're just gonna get to know some really neat individuals. And maybe you reach out to them after this and they introduce you to somebody else. And that's how it begins. That's how the connection starts. So I'm really excited. Stay tuned for Beyond the Trenches.
