#81 - What the Hell is Going on Around Here?

In this episode, Tim and Nikki share what life looks like when it feels like everything is happening at once. Their home renovation has turned the house into organized chaos, with furniture scattered everywhere, makeshift cooking stations set up around the house, and everyday routines completely disrupted while waiting on permits and construction progress. The conversation also dives into the realities of starting a vending machine business. What looked like "passive income" on paper has turned into a constant process of moving inventory, finding better locations, and figuring things out as they go. They discuss the challenges of underperforming machines, moving inventory into the camper, and their long-term plans to keep growing the business. The episode celebrates Jeems finishing an associate's degree and continuing toward the next step in school, leading to a discussion about education, personal growth, and surrounding yourself with people who challenge and encourage you. They also cover getting the pool back in order for summer, Eli's first attempt at smoking a brisket, and the strange reality that family somehow accumulates an endless supply of pool basketballs every year. Of course, the conversation wouldn't be complete without talking about the President's Project, including excitement for the upcoming John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson episodes and the possibility of recording the Andrew Jackson episode from The Hermitage itself. By the end, it's another fun and honest look at family life, new businesses, home projects, and the constant adventure of juggling it all at once. www.thefairviewsocialpodcast.com YouTube - www.youtube.com/@thefairviewsocialpodcast Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574493103167 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thefairviewsocialpodcast/ X - https://x.com/fairviewsocial TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/ ⁨@thefairviewsocialpodcast⁩ Click here if you have questions about the show or would like to be a guest!
