In this heartfelt and humor-filled episode of Thrive-Learn-Connect, Jamie (rocking a delightfully husky voice thanks to a stubborn sinus infection) and Max (recovering from a fierce case of “pickle elbow”) reflect on how our past, present, and future shape who we are and who we’re becoming.
Through personal stories, laughter, and a few sniffles, they explore:
-
The hidden gifts of our past (including Max’s third-grade grit and Jamie’s first-grade recorder concert gaff)
-
Techniques for finding peace and presence in a chaotic world
-
The power of dreaming big and imagining what’s next
Whether you’re stuck in the past, hustling through the present, or nervously eyeing the future, this episode invites you to pause, breathe, and appreciate all three timeframes as part of your personal mosaic.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
