In this episode, we dive into her career, how she and NiCole became friends (it's a story involving gum and a slap threat), and what life is like in retirement.
Like all our episodes, this one goes in many directions and it's a really fun conversation. (There's even a story about murder for all you true crime fans).

We'll be honest, this episode is very random. We had two guests who had to reschedule (we'll talk about why). So what you get is a fairly unfiltered, random conversation between Keith and NiCole.
We share stories about embarrassing childhood moments, parenting, hopes for our small town, and more.
If you need to listen to some banter, this is the episode for you.
Grab a coffee, pull up a chair, and laugh with us. We still don't know what we're doing.

Welcome to the first episode of our side series, "Beers & Banters". Nothing is off the table. Nobody is safe from getting called out. And the beers are cold.
On this episode, we're diving headfirst into the rabbit holes that keep us up at night. From the collapse of Building 7 and the missing $2.3 trillion at the Pentagon, to why no mummy was ever actually found inside a pyramid... basically, we're questioning everything we were taught in school.
Plus, we get into the Anunnaki, Admiral Byrd's diary, the Tic Tac UFO incident, and why Alex Jones might have been right about more than we want to admit.
Subscribe so you don't miss the next rabbit hole.

In this episode, Jaime Lee, better known to many as “The Sun Drop Girl”, shares her journey of embracing creativity, small-town roots, and the unexpected paths life can take.
From building “Shawano News” from scratch to preserving local stories and moments that matter, the conversation explores what it means to stay true to yourself, even when people don’t fully understand your vision.
There’s conversation about faith, family, veterans, old souls, aliens (obviously), entrepreneurship, growing up in Wisconsin taverns, and the beauty of Midwest culture. Jaime also opens up about learning to trust the process, chasing dreams without losing yourself, and why sometimes being “good enough” matters more than endlessly chasing perfection.

Episode 21 is a full catch-up with the usual chaos, including podcast updates, life talk, bad reviews, Facebook Live moments, and a lot of side tangents that go everywhere… as usual.
We also touch on some real-life health/test result conversations before jumping right back into marketing, content ideas, and running a business.
It’s funny, unfiltered, and a little deep at times. Thank you for hanging out with us while we figure things out in real time. We love this community.

A lot of you know the story of our friend, Andy. He received a life-changing liver donation back in October from an amazing woman named Mandy (She'll be on an upcoming episode soon).
Andy and NiCole have been friends since high school, so this episode dives deep into the past. You'll also discover in this episode that we are definitely not medical experts, so take what we say... lightly (don't come after us, UW-Health).
Also, ladies, be on the lookout for when NiCole gets really mad at Keith later in the episode. You'll learn something in between all the bleeps.
With that said... grab a coffee, pull up a chair, and get to know our good friend, Andy.

Savannah Wood from Good Day Wisconsin on Fox11 joins us for a conversation about how she got into journalism and what live TV is actually like.
From starting in a middle school news program to working in local news, she talks about learning to think on her feet, building confidence on camera, and why being real matters more than being perfect.
The conversation also gets into early mornings, connecting with people, and the real impact local news can have on small businesses and the community.
Unfiltered, a little chaotic, and a solid behind-the-scenes look at local news.

In this episode, we sat down with Josh Russell, the guy behind “Dang That’s Awesome.”
He built a Wisconsin food/travel TikTok to 7.4M views in 8 months, and he actually explains how he did it without the usual fluff.
We get into what’s actually moving the needle on TikTok right now: timing, hooks, why followers aren’t the metric people think they are, and how he turned simple food reviews into real revenue with restaurants and resorts.
His backstory’s just as wild. West Virginia, Green Bay, country rap career, touring… now full-time content and photography. It all connects in a way that makes sense once you hear it.
We also hit algorithm strategy, posting timing, going live locally, pricing your work, sponsored content without selling out, and yes… chicken wings and the “glazing” situation.
Go follow him: @dang.thats.awesome
If you’re running a business or trying to build something online, this one’s worth your time.

This is a real one with a guy who took a heat press, about a $1000, and turned it into a full-blown printing and design shop, DotCom Branding.
Now he’s running thousands of shirts a week, doing wraps, branding, and anything else that comes through the door. But it didn’t come clean or easy.
We get into the chaos of small-town business, scaling from nothing, setbacks like a house fire, and what it actually takes to keep things moving when the work never stops.
It’s not polished. It’s just what it looks like when you build it from the ground up and keep it alive.

She grew up Amish… and we had a LOT of questions.
This one goes from funny stories to some pretty real moments, like what happens when you leave everything you’ve ever known… and people stop listening.
We talk about faith, getting cut off, rebuilding life from scratch, and somehow ending up running a successful cleaning business.

In this episode, we hang out with Representative Elijah R. Behnke. No fluff, no pretending, just real talk.
We dig into what it actually means to represent people, not a party. From stadium deals to lake laws, the toughest calls aren’t always the ones you’d expect.
Nothing polished. Nothing scripted. Just a straight-up look at how decisions get made when there’s no perfect answer.

This one starts a little all over the place… and somehow lands exactly where it’s supposed to.
We sat down with Lindsay Johnson, who’s been behind a lot of what Shawano’s becoming—turning empty storefronts into a place people actually want to hang out.
We get into what it really takes to build a small town, why nothing happens as fast as people think it should, and the small stuff that actually moves the needle.
There’s a lot in here about backing local, building something that lasts, and figuring it out as you go.
And yeah… at some point we veer off into aliens, growing up, and the kind of life choices that don’t always make sense until they do.

Ernie Allen has done a little bit of everything—restaurant floors, bar shifts, years at Chili’s, time with Mission BBQ, and now leading as an Area Sales Manager at Performance Food Group. Not a straight path… and that’s kind of the whole story.
We get into the COVID grind, what it really means to care about the people you serve, convincing his southern wife that Wisconsin winters are a good idea, and raising two boys with some structure behind it.
Somewhere in there, we talk about why the journey might actually be the point.
It’s real, it’s easy, and yeah, there are a few laughs in there too.
Grab a coffee, settle in, and meet our guy, Ernie.

Hans is the founder of F.I.R.E. Fitness Camp, which has grown to 21 locations across Wisconsin. But the road there wasn’t exactly smooth.
In this episode, we talk about what entrepreneurship actually looks like — the failures, the risks, and the mindset it takes to keep going when things don’t work the first time.
We also get into why entrepreneurs often struggle in franchise systems, the biggest mistakes new business owners make, and why starting a business sometimes requires a little bit of insanity.
Put down the shovel, grab a coffee, pull up a chair, and take a break with us. We’re happy you’re here.

After more than 30 years in law enforcement, Mike thought retirement would be the easy part. Instead, he found himself facing what many officers quietly experience after the badge comes off — the loss of identity, purpose, and the transition into a very different life.
Now he’s working to make sure first responders have somewhere to turn when they need support.
It’s an honest conversation about the realities of policing, the transition into retirement, and why simply checking in on someone can matter more than we realize.
Grab a coffee, pull up a chair, and hang out with us for a bit. We’re grateful you’re here.

After nearly three decades in law enforcement, Tony sits down to talk about the road from serving 28 years in Oconto County to finding purpose after law enforcement.
He shares stories about camaraderie, tough supervisors, break room humor, and the moments that shaped him on and off the job.
This conversation dives into retirement, identity, marriage, and what it feels like to step away from a career that defined you for so long. It is honest, funny, reflective, and real.
