🎙✨ NOW AND NEXT
🧩 Season Theme: HungryyAs we enter the home stretch of this season, the conversations get even more honest. “Hungry” has always been about the things we long forrconnection, clarity, purposeeand this episode lands right in that space..Most of us spend too much time wishing we could rewrite the past..However, in this episode leans into a mindset shift called “the now and the next.”
It’s about asking two simple but powerful questions:
What can I do with the now that’s right in front of me?
And who is the next person I can impact in a meaningful way?
It’s presence and purpose staying grounded in today while staying open to who might need you tomorrow.

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.
