2026/09/30

Imagine beginning life as an orphan and going on to build a family legacy that would span 5 generations. One built on faith, family and quite frankly, an American dream. For more than 50 years, the Hernandez family has been quietly building a Houston legacy at Martin Tailors—one stitch, one customer and one generation at a time. They’ve dressed some names you’ll definitely recognize, including Houston sports stars like the Rockets and Astros. Take a walk with me inside this iconic tailoring...

Francesca Montillo, better known as The Lazy Italian, is living a little bit of the “Under the Tuscan Sun” dream. After years of working, saving and planning in Boston, she finally made her dream of owning a home in Tuscany a reality. And along the way, she discovered something Italians call “the sweetness of doing nothing.” It’s more than simply slowing down—it’s about savoring life, enjoying good food, lingering around the table, and making time for the things that matter.

Www.Hopeforheroestx.org They’re the people we count on when something goes terribly wrong—the police officers, firefighters, paramedics and other first responders who run toward situations most of us would run from. But what happens after the sirens stop? What does carrying those experiences day after day do to the mind and the heart? Behind the badge, the uniform, and the calm exterior are human beings who can face extraordinary levels of stress, trauma and emotional pressure. Today, we’r...

2026/08/19

Amid the ancient ruins, iconic landmarks, and layers of history that make Rome so captivating, it's easy to miss some of the city's most significant sites—especially if you don't know where to look. I've been to Rome a handful of times, but never before had I traced the footsteps of the Apostle Paul and St. Peter. This time, I saw the Eternal City through a completely different lens. Our guide, Araceli Cardenas, is a very special longtime friend who now lives in Rome. Araceli works at the U...

Don Brady Texas Winemaker Goodtaste with Tanji

2026/08/05

Today's interview is with a Texas winemaker who's producing some notable red wines in California's beautiful Paso Robles wine region. I first discovered Brady Vineyards after spotting their Zinfandel on the shelf at H-E-B. Truth be told, I don't usually reach for Zinfandel, but there was something different about Brady's. It wasn't the typical fruit bomb. Instead, it was beautifully balanced, with nuance and layers of flavor that kept me coming back for another sip. While I enjoy the Brady Zi...

Spiritual Warfare with Pastor Ed Newton

2026/07/27

We don't talk much about spiritual warfare anymore, but maybe we should. What if some of the greatest battles we face aren't the obvious ones—or even come disguised as something good? To dive deeper into what can be a heavy topic, I reached out to Community Bible Church Pastor Ed Newton in San Antonio, TX, a guy who isn’t your ordinary pastor – a man who has the ability to connect with just about anybody on any level. My interest in the subject really grew after reading The Screwtape ...

Have you ever stopped to think about what toxins you're exposed to every day—and what it might be doing to your brain? Most of us don't think twice about the air we breathe, the chemicals used on our lawns or crops, or the environmental toxins we encounter throughout our lives. But what if those everyday exposures are having a bigger impact on our brain health than we realize, especially for people in states like Texas? Researchers are taking a closer look at why neurological disorders like...

Some people can read a room. Today's guest can read the people in it. Jan Hargrave has spent decades teaching everyone from Fortune 500 executives and law enforcement professionals to television personalities how to understand the messages we send without saying a single word. She's one of the country's leading experts in body language and nonverbal communication, and after today's conversation, you'll probably never watch a conversation—or have one—the same way again. But before Jan became...

2026/06/23

A year after the historic flooding that forever changed the Guadalupe River and parts of the Texas Hill Country, the signs of recovery are impossible to miss. The floodwaters are said to have swept away more than half of the natural vegetation along portions of the river in Kerr County, dramatically reshaping the landscape. But nature has a remarkable way of bouncing back. Fresh growth is appearing where devastation once stood, and in many ways, an entirely new river is beginning to emerge. ...

There’s so much more to the story of Officer Antonio Richardson, the Florida police officer who spent nearly 40 minutes on a bridge talking a man out of taking his own life. It's an extraordinary encounter, and the bodycam footage from that night is nothing short of riveting. But there's so much more to the story. What I didn't expect was to discover Officer Richardson's own remarkable journey—a life shaped by faith, perseverance, purpose, and the extraordinary ways God prepares ordinary pe...

2026/06/02

Some of our most treasured moments in life come from simply “wasting time” with friends and loved ones. But what if we spent more time “wasting time” with God—praying outside the box, in ways and at times we may have never considered? According to Ryan Skoog, co-author of the powerful book Lead with Prayer, that's exactly what many effective leaders are doing. Ryan shares that some Fortune 500 executives regularly pray with their teams at work. Most of us never hear about it because corporat...

Food has a way of tying itself to the moments we never forget — family gatherings, celebrations, hard conversations, even the ordinary nights around the table. Long before we remember the recipe, we remember how it made us feel. If you watch Goodtaste with Tanji, you know Chef Fernando Desa, the guy I’ve cooked with in the Goya Foods kitchens for nearly 10 years. But there’s a lot more to his story than what happens in the kitchen. Before food, Fernando was actually headed toward a ca...

If you’re taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro, you already know they can dramatically reduce your appetite. But while eating less may help with weight loss, it can also create a new challenge—getting enough protein to protect your muscle, energy, and overall health. The amount of protein experts now recommend while taking these medications may actually surprise you. We recently spoke to an endocrinologist about the risks and benefits of GLP-1’s, today, we...

About our episode on homelessness—did you hear it? A few weeks ago on this podcast, I shared the story of a remarkable woman who connects with people experiencing homelessness in a way I hadn’t seen before. She has this rare ability to look past what’s on the surface and truly see the person underneath. Instead of judging, she meets people with dignity and presence. That conversation stayed with me and led me to reach out to another voice doing similar work at Communities Under the Bridge i...

Most of us have thought about what comes next—what happens when this life ends. But what if some people have already caught a glimpse of it? Today, we’re talking with an expert on near-death experiences, New York Times bestselling author John Burke, who has spent years studying hundreds of stories from those who say they’ve seen beyond this life—and returned to tell about it. His findings are fascinating—so much so that even doctors and researchers who once dismissed the topic are...
