    I’ve had the incredible pleasure of spending time with Chad at The Local Bar as a guest and longtime listener. Only get to hang with him in person once a year on The Rock Boat, but feel like I never miss a beat with the weekly listen. Happy to say Chad is 100% authentic in real life – everything you hope for and more. His energy just fills the room, and the positive vibes he exudes are contagious. If that wasn’t enough, Chad’s wife is even lovelier….

  • Very uplifting!

    I met Chad on the Rock Boat, so I decided to give this a tumble. The conversations with guests are fantastic. But, I keep coming back for the message of positivity at the end of the show. Great stuff, Chad. Keep it up!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Local Bar 222 - Jason Hardin
Q: What advice would you give to someone thinking about getting into real estate or property management?
You gotta have faith, and you can't go into it thinking it's going to be easy because it's not.
The Local Bar 219 - Sam
Q: What is the actual difference between addiction and compulsion?
Addiction involves a physical or psychological dependence on something, while compulsion is an irresistible urge that isn't necessarily linked to a dependency.
The Local Bar 210 - Nathan Seagraves
Q: What advice would you give someone who is hesitant to pursue their dream?
If God calls you to it, don't let fear deter you from pushing towards your goals. There are people waiting to help you that you might not even know about until you start talking about your dreams.
The Local Bar 212 - Jamal Stroud
Q: How do you keep your heart from getting hard when you're going through the worst of it?
A lot of prayer, but also just taking in that moment and being thankful for each day to do something positive for others.
The Local Bar 212 - Jamal Stroud
Q: What drove you to create this nonprofit?
