This episode is mostly a recap of the recent Savage Retreat in Marble Falls, Texas, and honestly it was one of those weekends that reminds me why we do this in the first place. We had about ten people staying together on a big ranch property with longhorns, wide open land, pickleball courts, and a ton of great food. It was a relaxed environment where everyone could get to know each other, share ideas, and connect. Friday night we cooked a big meal, got everyone settled in, and Jamie gave a presentation about mindset and preparing mentally to do hard things before we tackled the Tough Mudder the next morning.

Saturday was all about the Tough Mudder, and that ended up being a highlight of the whole weekend. The course had walls, rope climbs, mud trenches, monkey bars, electrified obstacles, and a massive climb that forced everyone to work together. Nobody got left behind. People were helping each other over obstacles, facing fears, and pushing through discomfort as a team. That’s really the whole point of these retreats — creating an environment where people can challenge themselves physically and mentally while surrounded by like-minded people. After the race we cleaned up, ate a mountain of brisket, and wrapped the night with a deeper mindset presentation about identity, goals, and building the life you actually want.

On the business side, we’re celebrating eight years of Keto Brick, which is pretty wild to think about when I look back at where we started. There were years where Kristen and I were sleeping on the warehouse floor just trying to make it work. Now we’ve got an incredible team and an amazing community supporting what we do. The anniversary sale is running right now with a 15% discount stacked on top of volume discounts, and the response has been huge. Several flavors have already sold out and the team has been packing orders nonstop. None of that happens without the community, and I’m incredibly grateful for the support.
