#11 Big life changes are happening behind the scenes and this one’s the most rewarding one yet.
In this episode, I’m sharing a major personal update that’s going to shape the future of Rewarding Routes. From moving into our new home to preparing for our first child, it’s been an exciting (and honestly, emotional) season of change. I wanted to take you behind the mic and talk about what’s been going on, how I’ve been managing everything, and what’s next for the podcast and for me personally.
Becoming a dad is something that fills me with both excitement and nerves, but also a deep sense of purpose. It’s given me new motivation to create, stay consistent, and build something meaningful for the future. I’m also reflecting on how this new chapter will impact how we travel — from long-haul adventures to Japan to future family-friendly trips and road trips closer to home.
I’ll also talk about:
- How fatherhood has changed my perspective on time and priorities
- The mindset shift that helped me stay consistent when life got busy
- Behind-the-scenes updates on what’s next for Rewarding Routes
- A few exciting new episodes and projects coming soon
If you’ve ever tried to balance your passions while life is changing fast, this one’s for you. It’s a reminder that showing up doesn’t have to mean being perfect — it just means staying committed to what matters most.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support means the world, and I can’t wait to share more — both in travel and in life — in the months ahead.

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.

To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
