Description

Welcome to "The Tailgate Coffee Table," a space where we have conversations outside the bounds of small talk. There’s something about sipping a cup of coffee or being outdoors, sitting in the bed of a truck, that allows us to speak more deeply than in everyday life.

Every week, we chat with unique, accomplished, and downright interesting individuals who come from all walks of life. Their incredible stories and experiences give us a unique perspective of the world through their eyes. Sharing this conversation over a cup of coffee fosters a space of vulnerability, courage, and self-discovery. We want you, the listener, to become inspired to embark on a journey towards a life closer to your authentic self. We believe that within these conversations lies the ability to help you uncover the direction you want your life to take.

Imagine you’re a fly on the wall as we sip coffee, share stories, and discover new perspectives on life all. This isn’t really a podcast; it's an exploration of the human spirit, testament to endless possibilities, and an invitation to live YOUR life to the fullest.

Tune in and let these conversations give you a fresh look at life, spark an idea, and inspire your journey towards becoming the most authentic version of yourself. Welcome to "The Tailgate Coffee Table."
