As we grow up, we change—at least most of us do.
Back in the day, Tom and I worked the bar scene together. We had a ton of fun, saw some things, did some things…
Now? We’re raising families. Building lives.
This episode was a blast—catching up with Tom, talking about what we’re into now, and how we’ve built the lives we have. And here’s the twist—Tom’s chasing gold. That’s right, he’s a gold hunter.
Raw talk. Real laughs. Earned perspective.

For as long as people have walked the earth, they’ve been chasing gold. From the ancient Egyptians who prized it as the “flesh of the gods,” to the legendary California Gold Rush of 1849, the hunt for gold has shaped history, sparked migrations, and built entire towns. Gold prospecting has always been more than digging in the dirt—it’s adventure, risk, and the hope of striking it rich. In the American West, prospectors used simple gold pans and sluice boxes to pull flakes and nuggets from rivers, while modern gold hunters now mix tradition with technology—metal detectors, dredges, and advanced mapping. The common thread? The thrill of discovery. Gold hunting has never just been about wealth; it’s about freedom, grit, and chasing a dream. Whether you call it gold prospecting, treasure hunting, or simply the search for something bigger, the history of gold is the history of ambition. And today, people like Tom keep that tradition alive—out in the dirt, chasing the same glimmer men risked everything for centuries ago.
