From Hot Takes to Hard Lessons | Starting 2026 by Reflecting on 2025

Welcome to the first episode of 2026 🎉—and it was such a good conversation we had to split it into two sessions. Travis kicks things off with some classic dad-level questions: What is the proper way to eat a Bagel Bite? Can a Hot Pocket actually be cooked all the way through? And… do you have a plan if your Christmas tree catches fire? 😅 After warming up with a little humor, Travis and Robert shift gears and reflect on 2025—the successes, the failures, and the lessons learned along the way. From personal growth to family life, they talk honestly about what worked, what didn’t, and what they’re carrying forward into the new year. This episode is a mix of laughs, perspective, and reflection—perfect for kicking off 2026 with intention while remembering that sometimes the best conversations start with the simplest (and strangest) questions. 👉 Part two coming soon.
