As promised, here is the follow-up episode from Sonya's garden three months later! The In The Moment series allows us to stray from our traditional format to bring you an intimate conversation that captures the essence of spontaneity. Sometimes, the most incredible discussions occur in brief moments that don't quite fill the duration of a full episode. But why should that stop us from sharing these captivating moments? This is a collection of episodes where we embrace the beauty of unfiltered conversation. Much like our main show, the conversations in this series are completely off the cuff but offer a much more raw take on events happening almost in real-time.

I'm joined by my relatively new friend Christie Carroll—a real estate agent based in Northwest Georgia.

I'm joined by my new friend Sonya Blankenship—a true veteran in the world of home loans—which we talk a ton about. Though, what I found most interesting about one of my first conversations with her was her love of gardening, hunting, fishing, and anything outdoors! And appropriately enough—the great outdoors is where we are recording for this episode. We met at Sonya's lovely country home surrounded by greenery and a beautiful and oh-so-cozy back patio that made me feel right at home. And if that wasn't exciting enough—we hop on her motorized mule for a quick drive around the property and discuss how her love of people and spirituality propel her forward each and every day.

I'm excited to have another one of my BNI teammates Colt Kelley and his wife Stephanie Gargiulo on the show! As mentioned previously, I'm really pushing for more group conversations, and this was a jam-packed one no doubt! To be 100% honest with you, it's hard to put this conversation into words.

I'm joined on a chilly Spring day by one of my newest friends Chris Wilson. We face the nippy winds outside of our local Starbucks—or as I like to say—the HindLight Media corporate office! Chris is quite a multifaceted individual which becomes apparent quickly in the conversation. We talk about his company and what he does on a daily basis—as well as his world-traveling past career as a pro-amateur golfer. However, the bulk of the conversation definitely falls under the Bitcoin umbrella—which was the main culprit of making it difficult to stay within our hour limit. As always, thanks for joining us!
