    Amanda & TJ are SO easy to listen to! This has become my favorite podcast as they are lighthearted, serious, and real about everything! They add in humor where you’ll suddenly be chuckling while listening. I love that they don’t hold back to talk about their faith too! Highly recommend!!!

  • Love it, but out of touch?

    I love this podcast, and I also love how usually you guys are relatable. But this recent episode felt very out of touch. TJ mentioned how you “should” give back 10% but I’m sorry in this economy it’s not about our priorities. Most people are struggling to buy groceries or anything for their family. It shouldn’t be about money, Amanda did chime in and say give effort if you can’t give money, but not everyone has money like you guys, especially nowadays! Besides this episode where they talked most... more

  • Religious hypocrates

    Podcast is boring but more importantly, they support the murder and kidnapping of people. Don’t give them your support if you believe in decency.

  • I guess I’m hooked?

    I really like this podcast. I’ve followed Amanda on Instagram since pandemic days. I started listening when they made the episode on their NBA dance/trampoline days, since I was so curious. And now… I think I’m hooked? I made the “mistake” of listening to this week’s episode on Thursday, and so now I can’t listen to it during my Sunday workout, and I’m sad. Lol! I love hearing about the back room business side of influencing. And I love hearing about TJ’s veterinary clinic!
