Podcast Superstar and Content Coach, Krystal Proffitt joins us to share her nostalgic journey through a fleet of hand-me-down vehicles that shaped her driving experience. Her first car story perfectly captures the teenage driving experience that many can relate to: receiving her father's work truck nicknamed "Doo-Doo Brown,” complete with bench seats, manual windows, no air conditioning, a cracked windshield, and most memorably, her father's faded plumbing business logo still emblazoned on the door. The thousand-dollar truck became Krystal's first taste of freedom, despite needing to pop the hood just to get the windshield wipers working during rainstorms.
Beyond her captivating car stories, Krystal shares invaluable insights from her expertise as a podcast coach and content strategist. Having produced over 1,400 podcast episodes herself and guided countless content creators, she emphasizes that consistency trumps perfection. The seemingly simple advice to "just keep showing up" becomes a powerful mantra for both podcasting and life itself—much like those reliable hand-me-down vehicles that may not be perfect but faithfully get you where you need to go.

Very excited about this, and I'mgoing to read one right now,

What do you think?
Is that okay?
Yeah, here we go.
Share the love.
Here's one that's not toocritical of me.
We're not going to read any ofthose me.
(03:01):
We're not going to read any ofthose.
This one says what is happeningto my phone right now.
Okay, If you're a car guy, youhave to listen.
This is from December 4th from FMonty, maybe that's F1.
I don't know who that is.
I've always struggled to find.
Okay, this is the review.
(03:21):
I've always struggled to findthe best podcast about cars and
this one hit the nail on thehead.
It's engaging, funny,interesting and I love the
stories.
I for sure recommend thispodcast, not just for car people
, period, anybody.
Three exclamation points.
So that is when we started this.
(03:42):
Doug always likes to say thatthe show is about family,
bringing together people,talking about, kind of the daisy
chain of people in cars thatmove through our lives today.
The theme of today's show isgoing to be hand-me-downs, and
we will get into that.
But what do you think, doug,when the review says this is for
(04:02):
anybody?
It's not just for gearheads.
We have those.
We have people that restoreantiques car antique cars,
people who write books aboutcars, people who educate the
next generation how to work oncars.
But it's for anybody.
You don't have to know anythingabout cars to have a good time.
What do you?
Doug (04:17):
say I agree, and uh, pretty much all guests and uh,
we can, we can put our guests onthe spot when we get to her and
do the introduction.
Pretty much all of our guestshave said they have enjoyed the
preparation part.
We have that short form thattakes five minutes to fill out
intake form, and when they'refilling it out, just their mind
(04:40):
goes back to that first car.
It might have been 30 years ago, you know, in the case of your
son, when we had him on, itwasn't that long ago but,
there's still some smiles outthere and, uh, I I like seeing
that.
I also like being able to tie itback to you know, maybe it's
just a coincidence in the storythat triggers something in my
(05:00):
head that takes me back.
Christian (05:03):
Yeah, yeah, and it's.
It's interesting how we talkabout hey, where did the first
car come from?
Oh, you know, uh, some peoplejust had to work their fingers
to the bones.
Sometimes there werehand-me-downs, sometimes it was
grandma's car, sometimes it wasyou know.
It had been sitting up onblocks in the backyard and you
had to shoo away the mice andsquirrels before you even
started your restoration.
(05:24):
And so when we talk abouthand-me-downs, we're so excited
about today's guest, who has alot of experience and just
hilarious speaking with herbefore the show.
But I'm going to hand over thebaton here to Doug for the
introductions.
And how did Crystal come intoyour world?
Why is she such an appropriateguest for our show?
Doug (05:46):
Yeah, so many, many things , and I don't know exactly how
it happened, but when we wereworking on podcasting or
initially talking about it,crystal's podcast, the Prophet
Podcast, popped up and I startedlistening to her pretty
religiously.
Up, and I started listening toher pretty religiously and you
(06:08):
know it was funny.
What prompted me to put us onYouTube was actually one of
Crystal's episodes about just doit, make it simple, just bite
the bullet.
You don't even have to havevideo.
And so that kind of got usgoing.
And as soon as Crystal announcedI think it was towards the end
of last year her PodcastersConnect Community, which is a
and I'll let her do the justiceon it, but I am, I hope to think
(06:31):
I'm a very active member in itand Crystal gives me lots of
advice.
Truly amazing how much time shedevotes to everybody in there
who wants help, and we havemonthly calls.
So with that, I can't sayenough good things about Crystal
.
Oh, and when I said, would youlike to be on our podcast, she's
(06:52):
like sure, I'm not really a carperson, but I have a story or
two.
Christian (06:58):
It's going to be great.
She's going to be great, she'shere, she's waiting, crystal,
how are you?
Krystal (07:03):
Well, I mean, y'all do such an incredible job.
Thank you so much, Doug andChristian, for having me on the
show.
This is going to be incrediblebecause I did.
I was like, guys, I'm not a carperson, I'm really not.
And I started thinking when Iwas filling out the form you
know, because, as you said, youknow, I'm a podcast nerd to my
(07:23):
core and I love a good intakeform and the way that y'all have
it all laid out.
I was like, oh, there's somestories here, because it is what
I love.
I love to tell stories in mycontent.
It's how you take somethingthat could be a boring subject
and really amp it up or get itto the relatable piece of it for
(07:45):
your listeners to enjoy.
And I started thinking.
I was like I have some reallygood stories about cars and
they're not fancy, they're notflashy, but man, I'm excited.
So I just I can't wait to havethis conversation with you today
.
Christian (08:01):
Well, thank you for being here.
We appreciate that.
And before we get going here,just a little preamble, and
we'll mention it as prologue too.
If you're listening to thispodcast and you have your own
podcast, this happens a lot, andDoug is always bringing back
these wonderful nuggets from theether.
A lot of them come from Crystal.
(08:21):
A lot of them come from thisgreat, huge community of
podcasters.
Can we just pause for a second,crystal, and tell your
presences to everyone?
If they go on your YouTubechannel, what are they going to
learn about?
If they go on your podcast oryour social media, where would
they go to learn?
What about you?
Krystal (08:41):
Yeah, so you can find me everywhere.
You go to crystalprofitcom andthat's where you're going to be
plugged into the podcast andYouTube.
It's Crystal with a K andProfit has two F's and two T's
and, yes, that is my actual lastname, it is not a stage name.
I get that question a lot.
That's another story about howwhen I met my husband and we it
(09:01):
was a whole thing.
But cause I was like your namecan't really be profit, we met
at business school, right Likethat was a total line.
I was like that's a line thatyour last name is profit.
Doug (09:13):
Well, you would have spelled it, spelled it right if
it was actually profit, if itwas intentional.
Krystal (09:18):
Exactly.
Come on Like I, but it was.
It was I made him show like canI see your ID?
Cause I didn't believe him.
So again, another story foranother day.
But yeah, I have met so manycreators over the years and I
actually just met with someonetoday and they said the same
thing to me.
And that's, I want to be theperson that helps you.
(09:39):
Just keep showing up, becauseit gets hard, right?
I don't know if you know, and Iknow that the podcast is newer
to you.
But you come up against thesehurdles, whether it's your life
gets in your way or you have totake time off because a family
member sick, or you have to dounexpected travel, and then it
could just easily fall throughthe cracks that your podcast or
(10:01):
your content is a priority, andso I try to come up with
strategies that makes it fun,Like let's, let's not be so
restrictive and like, um, reallyjust rigid about the rules of
what you're creating and let'sjust infuse fun and create
around you know what you'repassionate about, which is what
I love that y'all are doing,because that's exactly the model
(10:22):
that we try to do is, hey, findsomething you're passionate
about that you could talk aboutliterally for hours, because
what you're going to do andenjoy it, lean into it really,
(10:48):
um, the kind of the inceptionfor the show.
Christian (10:49):
For sure, he's also this push and this creative
force that keeps us goingforward.
But there's, there's this,there's this special thing off
to the side, this pleasure partof it, where we we enjoy getting
together, we enjoy talking tothe guests.
And he said something magicwhere you just have to keep at
the grindstone.
And when we first started wedid our first two or three and
Doug said you know, I was somesome early advice that we got
(11:12):
before we knew you.
This fellow said you know, yougot to make it to 30 by hook or
crook.
You got to make it to 30 andtwo or three or four.
Yeah right, right, past 30 attwo or three or four.
I thought we're never going toget there.
I mean, this is my best pal,you know, with his new hobby.
I said I'll help him go as faras he wants to go.
I said we'll never get to 30.
(11:32):
Good grief, we have 30 or 40now that I think we've published
with another I don't know dozenin queue that Doug has to
sprinkle the magic engineeringdust on to get him out there.
Doug (11:46):
Yeah, well, we also had Matt Farah from, I think it's
Car and Driver editor said whenyou guys get to 99, when you
guys get to 99, give me a call,I'll be on your podcast.
So that's our target.
Krystal (12:01):
That's incredible and it's so fun.
So I love hearing y'all's storytoo, because I think it's
motivational for anybody that'slistening, just to find that
passion and just like starthanging out with your friends
that love to talk about it too,because then it doesn't feel
like work like me doing thiswith y'all, like this, doesn't
feel like work to me.
It just feels like another funconversation that I get to have
(12:23):
and and it's about, again,things that I wouldn't even
normally talk about but it's ina situation where I know your
listeners will appreciate whatwe're talking about here today
and that's what I try to do inany forum that I show up on is
how can I add value to thepeople that are listening,
because they're doing this forentertainment value, or they're
trying to get educated ormotivated and whatever they're
(12:43):
doing, and I like to justsprinkle in whatever kind of
magic I can and, you know, go goon to all the different pieces
of content that we can keepcreating for people that are out
there.
Christian (12:56):
Well, we are all about the magic.
Love to hear it, thank you, andbefore we let's see.
So we've talked a little bitabout what you do and I'd like
to maybe revisit your world alittle bit.
Instead of your stepping intoour world, as we've done for the
past few minutes, when we'redone talking about your cars, I
would like to maybe step inyours and talk a bit about your
(13:17):
business, your coaching, contentstrategy and creating content.
I think that would be wonderful.
But before we get there, fanservice, let's step into the
Wayback Machine and slide intothe nearest car that'll
transport us back to your dad's.
Let's go to where it allstarted dad's business.
Krystal (13:36):
Okay, okay.
So do you want me to just startwith what he did for a living
first?
Christian (13:42):
I think it's wonderful.
Please, please, I think it's.
We can't get enough of thesefamily stories.
Yes, please.
Krystal (13:48):
Yes, so my dad.
Actually, he started his ownplumbing business.
I was around 12 years old andhe was doing it all by you know,
scrapping things together andsaying, all right, like we're
going to make this business work.
He, he was an entrepreneur andyou know I'm following in his
footsteps and a lot of thethings that I do, but he was
(14:10):
like I just want to make thiswork and so he was on a tight
budget.
He was working with, you know,as many other contractors or
builders in the area that hecould get advice from or get
free supplies from, or he couldjust have, like you know, any
kind of partnerships around ourcommunity.
I grew up in Athens, texas,which is in Northeast Texas
(14:30):
small town, but it was just like, okay, I saw him working so
hard and I am the youngest ofthree siblings.
I have two older brothers and Iwatched my brothers have, you
know, um, not necessarily pickof the litter.
We wouldn't call it that.
We would call it like hey, uh,this vehicle runs so therefore
(14:54):
you can drive it when you want,but just know it's going to be a
work truck, like it's a worktruck during the week and maybe
on the weekends you can drive itand slowly over time, my dad
would say, okay, you know, youcan officially like, you've
proven yourself, you haven'twrecked this fully, you can
drive this full time.
So that's kind of what happenedfor my brothers.
But then whenever it got to bemy turn, he was like, oh, we
(15:16):
don't really have anything kindof in the rotation that him or
his workers were using.
And so I had the luxury, theprivilege of getting what was a
doo-doo Brown.
This is what I tell my kids whenthey ask me like tell us about
your first car?
It was doo-doo Brown plumbingtruck.
(15:37):
That was a single cab.
I still don't even really knowwhat exact year it was, but I
just remember it was a benchseat.
I had a bench seat.
Again, we're in Texas.
No AC, there was absolutely noair conditioning whatsoever.
It was manual windows for any,like, of course, my kids.
(15:57):
These days they were like whatyou like cranked them down.
Yes, it was a hand crankedwindow.
There was of this nothingautomatic about this none, none,
uh, it was.
It was, uh, automatic, right,so it wasn't a stick shift.
I still don't know how to drivea stick shift, so you know I'm
gonna disappoint a lot of thecar fanatics out there.
No, no, no but it also it didn'thave, uh, a rear view mirror,
(16:23):
which again I don't know how itpassed any inspections.
It only had one side mirror andit had a big crack in the
windshield.
And to get the windshieldwipers to work, there was like
electrical tape on the box underthe hood, so I would have to
pop the hood, like move thataround and jiggle it a little
bit to get the windshield wipersto work, which is the last
(16:45):
thing you want to do in arainstorm anyway.
So, yeah, that's I mean that'soverview my first vehicle, and
it cost a thousand dollars.
I do remember my dad sayingthat he's like this was a
thousand dollars.
You're welcome, here you go.
Doug (16:59):
And he gave it to you.
Krystal (17:01):
Yes, he gave it to me, but I did forget, and Doug
reminded me of this before westarted recording.
The best part about the wholething was, before he handed it
down to me, he did not take offthe large Blair plumbing
insignia on the driver's sidedoor, and I think it was on the
passenger side too.
(17:21):
So as soon as he said, here'sthe keys, this is your vehicle,
I went to the store and you know, some auto parts store got some
goo gone and immediatelystarted scraping it off.
And you could I mean you couldstill see it, let's just be
honest.
So I drove around town with aplumbing truck and I was very
grateful to have wheels.
Doug (17:42):
And it was cool at high school right.
Krystal (17:44):
Yeah, High school yeah sure.
Doug (17:48):
Sure, sure, probably a lot of trucks in Texas at high
schools.
I know there are a lot oftrucks in Texas for sure.
Christian (17:56):
Yes, and down here in Florida too.
Krystal (18:00):
Oh yeah.
Christian (18:01):
So what happened to that truck?
How long did you have thattruck?
Krystal (18:09):
Hmm, that's a good question.
And I couldn't remember if Ihad it for two years or about a
year and a half probably about ayear and a half and then I got
upgraded.
So while I had the the doo doobrown truck, my middle brother
had inherited the next truck.
(18:29):
It was the F three 50, which hewas.
We called her the the big beastbecause f-350 which she was, we
called her the the big beastbecause that's exactly what she
was the big truck she was thebig, the big mama truck.
She was very big, um, so I,while he had that, I was
drooling over it.
I was like, look at this, likeshe's so pretty and look at how
many, let's see, I was not agreat driver, so I was looking
(18:52):
at all the curbs I could hit andless damage I would do in this
monster truck, because that'swhat it was basically an, um, uh
, 18 wheeler.
That's what I was thinking whenI was driving this and I, like,
lifted the steering wheel allthe way up.
I felt like I was in anddriving some sort of train, yeah
yes, because I'm pretty tall.
(19:12):
I mean I'm I'm five, seven ish,and I loved that I still had to
get on the step bar to get intothis vehicle.
Doug (19:22):
I was like I'm literally driving a monster truck and then
be careful not to fall outright.
Krystal (19:26):
Yes, yes, exactly, exactly so that was while my
brother was driving that I wasjust salivating over like, oh my
gosh, I cannot wait to get thistruck.
And then eventually, one day Idon't even remember how the
exchange went, other than mybrother inherited the next truck
when he went off to college,newer F-350.
Christian (19:55):
Again, we were obsessed with these monster
trucks which for gas mileagepurposes made no sense
whatsoever.
Krystal (19:58):
but you know it was, it was affordable, I guess, for my
dad just to write it off andhand it down to his kids.
But yeah, but my brotherinherited the other truck so I
inherited his and I.
I love that vehicle, but for a16, 17-year-old to park in a
high school parking lot, I meanI just had to just take my
(20:18):
chances in the farthest I couldgo, because I was so terrified I
was going to take out like fourother vehicles trying to park
anywhere close to the school.
So I just, if I went toanywhere any stores, I was like
no, I'm just going to park wayout here where I won't damage
any other vehicles.
Christian (20:37):
I like how your father's fleet, your father's
business fleet I can just seeall these you know small
business person with thesetrucks lined up and then you
know, one gets bumped to thebottom of the depth chart and it
just starts this cascadethrough the brother and
sisterhood and it just kind ofmakes its way through you, uh,
to you.
(20:57):
I, I love that.
That's great.
Sorry, dog, you were gonna saysomething.
Doug (21:00):
No, it's, it's funny.
We're, you know, think aboutthings that uh, spark memories.
Um, this is a recent one, but Iwas at a monster truck show a
couple weeks ago with my son andit was so much fun and, uh,
just it's funny.
My 83 year old mother who'sstill driving she drives pretty
well, but not at night.
(21:21):
We don't want her to.
She's like I can't stand thesemonster trucks.
You know just any truck goingdown the road because they're so
big and so high and everybodylikes to deck them out and like
mom, you should have come to theMonster Truck Jam with me.
She would have.
Christian (21:36):
Yeah, oh she would have loved it.
Well, your mom is very petiteand in her petite little Honda
too, it's a Honda right yeah,Honda Accord yeah.
I mean, all these things arejust so much physically higher
when I get into a sedan sedan,you're down here, and then an
suv you're here, and then you're, you're in one of these.
Krystal (21:57):
uh, f-150 253 50s, it's another, but if you're crystal,
you're up here I'm well, thereyou go above everybody else.
But the fun thing was and it'sfunny because, like you said,
it's gonna spark to spark abunch of memories.
I remember I liked being thefriend that, like everyone,
wanted to ride with too, becauseI had the most room.
Doug (22:19):
I mean.
Krystal (22:19):
I had somebody.
I had a friend that had aneclipse.
I mean I don't remember whatyear that was Like.
She had this little bitty.
It was like a two door.
I don't even know what model.
That was Mitsubishi yes, that'swhat it was.
It was an Eclipse.
And she was like, oh, I can fitone other person whenever we're
(22:41):
driving back to practice orgoing to school.
And I was like I'm too tall, Ican't get in the backpack of
this without my knees being inmy chest.
And so when people would say,oh, you know, we're all just
going to go and Crystal's car, Iwas like, okay, great Cause it
was, it was a lot of fun to havethat.
And I remember this was like,you know, way back in the day,
let's get real fancy for all allthe young ones listening.
(23:03):
It was that truck, because myprevious one, the doo-doo Brown
one, the very first one, didn'teven have a tape deck.
So I couldn't at that point inthe nineties and early two
thousands.
You know the thing.
The cool thing was you put thetape in that connected to your
CD player external player andyou put it in there.
(23:25):
And so my first vehicle didn'thave that, but my second one,
the big mama truck, the big Idon don't remember if we called
her the big beast or big bertha,it was something big, but she
did so we could listen to ourtunes in there.
It didn't have a cd player.
It wasn't that fancy, but wehad the tape.
It's a work truck.
Christian (23:44):
It's where these guys are fixing things with their
hands.
They're not like rocking outfrom job to job, they're
sweating and thinking, and plusthe music is distracting.
Doug (23:53):
Right, music is definitely distracting.
Christian (23:55):
It's a good distraction.
So what happened to?
Do?
You remember what happened tothat to the F-350, or were you
on to more reasonable, lessgigantic automobiles?
Krystal (24:09):
So after that I did have an F-150 after that and
that was because we were gettinginto the practicality of me
going to college and I was goingto be about four, four and a
half hours away from home.
So I guess the fuel prices weretoo high that my parents were
finally like hey, let's considersomething a little more
(24:31):
economical.
Doug (24:31):
Yeah, still a truck, yeah, exactly.
Krystal (24:36):
So my freshman year, or it was my senior year of high
school and into my freshman yearActually, no, I take that back,
it was just my senior year ofcollege I had three trucks all
through high school.
My last one was an F-150.
And I'm so embarrassed to saythis because now I'm like, oh my
gosh, like the things that wedid when we were 18.
(24:57):
But the cool thing to do then,speaking of music, is I
installed with my own moneyBecause, again, the entrepreneur
, my dad, was like I willabsolutely not buy that for you,
but you can pay for thatyourself.
I saved up my money for mybirthday, christmas, everything,
and I got a CD player and asubwoofer Nice.
(25:18):
Now, just looking back, it'sone of those things it's like,
really, really, we did that, wedid that.
Oh, that was an accomplishment,but see, that was an
accomplishment.
Christian (25:28):
Now, to a generation that has a trillion songs in
your pocket.
That's no big deal, but to getinside of your two-ton jukebox
it meant a lot I remember in myBuick Skyhawk in high school.
I have not thought about thisin so long, but I guess I was a
junior or senior and I don'tknow if I worked for them.
(25:50):
Where did the money come from?
Maybe I robbed a bank?
I don't know if I worked forthem when did the money come
from?
Doug (25:55):
Maybe I robbed a bank?
I don't know what that is.
Christian (25:57):
But I had the nicest deck, tape deck.
Yeah, it must have been a tapedeck and it completely
transformed the experience ofjust hauling people around and
now it was just a partyeverywhere we went Right and you
become more popular, kind oflike how Crystal said and
Crystal did you install thestereo yourself?
Krystal (26:19):
Oh no no no, no, no, no .
That's one of those things thatwas like we had limited means
in my small town.
So I was like, oh, I'm going togo to the big city.
So I was like, oh, I'm going togo to the big city.
I'm air quoting big city like30 minutes away, because they
have a specialty store that canyou know, you can purchase,
(26:41):
install, do everything in just afew hours.
So that's that's.
That was the route that I chose.
Doug (26:49):
OK, nothing wrong with that.
Christian (26:51):
So now, as we move forward, are we about ready to
talk about the Swiss Army knifeof automobiles, the Honda
Odyssey Doug, or did we need toinject?
Doug (27:02):
something else in here.
No, no, no, I think talk aboutCrystal's current car right.
Yes, the family car.
Christian (27:09):
Let's talk about it.
I want to hear all the greatthings about your Odyssey and
then I'll say all the greatthings about my odyssey.
Krystal (27:14):
Go ahead, we'll geek out on the odyssey so my black
she, I love her she is my blackbeauty, and this is what we call
her.
We've had her.
She's a 2014 and we she was newto us in 2016, so she had like
30 000, maybe 35 000 miles todayin 2025.
(27:39):
She's got 140.
We just hit 140 000 and I meanI've never had, never had a
honda before this.
We had, as you heard, multipleFords.
I had two Ford Explorers beforethat too, and I just we were a
Ford family.
(27:59):
That's what we're going todrive.
And then we I kind of mentionedthis earlier, but we haven't
talked much.
I have three kids, so ages nowtoday they're 15, 12, and nine,
and so I needed a practical car,I need a practical mom car, and
it has just been the bestvehicle for road trips because,
(28:23):
we drive.
We live in Houston but we havefamily in the Dallas-Fort Worth
area and in Austin and in WestTexas.
So I mean, sometimes a roadtrip is seven hours for us and
we are able to do it comfortablywith all of our stuff in this
vehicle.
So anytime we keep talking about.
(28:44):
My husband and I were like,should we sell it?
Should we get another one?
It's like, yeah, maybe one day.
Like she's got a crack in thewindshield at the top, but it's
above, like everything, I don'teven care.
Like she's got some strippedpaint on the side, Like I mean,
I don't care, I love her.
She's ragged and she's you knowshe's seen better days.
Christian (29:04):
We call it battle scars.
Yes, exactly, exactly.
Does yours have the lazy Susandown below?
Or did they retire that in theold?
In the newer models?
Krystal (29:15):
Yeah, that sounds fancy .
Christian (29:18):
Oh, I had a 2004 or 5 .
And right behind the driver andpassenger, but before kind of
the captain seat, there was thiskind of secret compartment
where you'd rip up the floor andthere was a I'm not kidding.
There was kind of this circularthing.
Maybe it was two and a halffeet in diameter or something
(29:40):
like this.
It was underneath the car butyou could sort of spin it to get
at different departments,compartments inside of there.
It was a lazy-sues insideOdyssey.
I don't remember that.
Yeah, like you're saying, it'sjust a total swiss army knife.
I remember when, when I got itwith my, my former wife, I said,
well, why do we need a car likethis?
(30:02):
You know the family was growing, ended up with three boys, but,
um, it was just, uh, to be ableto have enough space to, like
you're saying, it's.
It's not only the people, it'sthe stuff.
So I could fit 25 bags of mulchin my whole family and once you
got.
You know, I could fit.
When I was redoing a kitchen Icould just shove cabinet and
(30:23):
take out all the seats and justshove a bunch of cabinets in
there, you know, and I was like,oh wow, I get it I get it it.
Doug (30:30):
And for a while you had dueling minivans, didn't you?
You both had Honda Odysseys, Ithink.
For a time we did.
I don't know how or why thathappened, but yeah, you loved it
I did.
You were a big fan.
Christian (30:45):
Just a great car.
Yeah, I've had a few Hondas inmy day.
I still have a beat up oldAcura in the park.
I was texting with my son.
He got a new car last night andI was texting with him and he
said do you still have thatAcura?
You kept the Acura.
(31:07):
I said yeah.
He said my money's on the Acuramy money's on that thing, just
outlasting everything you got.
It's the backup plan.
It's always yeah, it just won'tstop.
It't won't stop, won't die.
And hey, you know, just justjust sticking around is so much
of success in life, isn't?
Doug (31:20):
it, yes, yes it really is.
Christian (31:22):
It really is so.
Uh, let's see, as we sort of,as we sort of guide the, the
podcast here, to the off-ramp.
Did we have anything else wewanted to discuss?
D before we talked a little bitand had kind of a lightning
critique of our podcast herefrom the Jedi, the guru herself.
Doug (31:41):
Well, I just put Crystal on the spot and we did
beforehand.
What is your dream car or cars?
Krystal (31:49):
Yes.
Doug (31:50):
What's going to replace Black Beauty?
Krystal (31:52):
Okay, so we have been looking at pilots, we've been
looking at honda pilots for awhile and it was a cousin of
mine that got the newer, likewhenever the body because you
know, the bodies had severaliterations over the last 10
years.
I would say it's gone throughseveral, you, you know, it's
(32:13):
like square and round and squareand I'm like it, just it.
It's always looked appealing tome.
And then recently I think itwas like the 24 body style we
really liked.
And then just the other daywe're walking our youngest son
to the bus stop and we saw a Kiaand I was like what is that?
(32:34):
Because I saw it has slidingdoors.
I was like, is this a Kiaminivan?
This is gorgeous.
And I am not like someone tostop, like I just don't really
look at cars that much where I'mlike, oh, that's great, unless
it's something that we've talkedabout, like, oh, we should, you
know, explore, looking at that.
But I cannot for the life of me, remember what it was.
(32:55):
But it's the Kia minivan and Ithink it's a newer model that
they just came out with.
I'm like I would go to, I wouldgo look at that.
I would absolutely go and lookand see if it rivals because it
(33:16):
was a little bit shorter thanthe Odyssey, but it looked like
it had a lot of really coolfeatures that were on it.
So yeah, it's the Kia Carnival.
Doug (33:21):
Yeah, go ahead.
It's the.
It's the Kia Carnival.
One of my neighbors has one,and the nice thing maybe this is
what you liked about it itdoesn't look like a minivan.
The doors blend in very well,Like you wouldn't think it's an
SUV if you didn't have to looktwice.
Krystal (33:37):
Yeah, and I think that's why it caught my eyes,
because I was like wait, thosedoors slide, Like what am I
looking at what's happening here?
And it was a few neighbors down, they have several kids and I
was like, okay, so this ispractical, it's practical.
So if if we're talking aboutpractical, practical dreams,
then something like that.
(33:58):
If we're talking aboutirrational and like just like
what would you do?
You want a million dollarstomorrow, like, what kind of car
are you going to buy?
I have always loved the PorscheCayennes and watching them.
It's, which is funny, cause I'mnot someone that really likes
to go fast, but also I kind ofwant to just go fast in that car
(34:18):
, just to see what happens.
Um, so that would be like if,if money wasn't an option and I
could buy something tomorrow,that would be the one that I
think I at least want to testdrive, like let's, let's see
what this is all about.
Doug (34:31):
Yeah, my, our previous guests, dora, who lives in
Austin, she bought a Cayenne.
I think she bought the V8 Turbo.
She drives like a maniac.
Actually, we had Chris Oliveron, who's a friend of hers, on
another episode and he's like,yeah, she drives faster than
anybody I've ever met.
Krystal (34:50):
Oh, my gosh yeah.
So yeah, be careful with met ohmy gosh yeah.
Christian (34:52):
So, yeah, be careful with that, be careful with that.
So yeah, so again, crystal.
It's just been after hearing somany wonderful things about you
over the past several months.
Thank you for taking the timeand before we let you go here,
just remind everybody to checkout Crystal's presences here.
(35:13):
Just remind everybody to checkout Crystal's presences.
Crystalprofitcom crystal with aK profit with two Fs and I and
two Ts com, and basically herpodcast consulting business, has
really allowed us to elevate orraise our game.
So if this is something thatyou're into, please check her
out and reach out.
(35:34):
Very accessible, she's apodcast coach who helps
strategize around content, whichhelped us out a lot, because
creating content is really keyin what it's all about.
So, crystal, if you could I'mgoing to put you on the spot
here If you could give us onething that podcasts do well, and
(35:57):
then one thing podcasts don'tdo well, and then if we could
make it more local here.
What's one thing our podcast isdoing well and could improve
upon?
What do you think?
Krystal (36:09):
Yeah.
Christian (36:10):
Do it Crystal.
Krystal (36:11):
I love all these questions and now we're like
we're in my creative zone ofgenius.
Christian (36:16):
So this is exciting.
Krystal (36:18):
I think that For anybody that's listening, that's
interested in podcasting, or ifit's been something on your
mind and you want to know kindof behind the scenes, listen.
I've talked to thousands ofpodcasters.
I've been doing this since 2018.
We were talking earlier likeI've done over 1400 episodes
myself.
I've interviewed hundreds ofpodcasters, so like this is
(36:39):
literally what I eat, sleep andbreathe, and I think that the
thing that most podcastersstruggle with is just keep going
, just finding the ability tokeep showing up, no matter, you
know, if you get sick with theflu or you know like something
else chaotic and crazy and yourbusiness is going weird or your
(37:00):
day job is super hard.
Like.
Finding systems and processesthat allow you to keep showing
up has been the frustration, butalso the key to just keep going
is finding that balance andwhat that can look like for you.
I think a big area forimprovement for a lot of people
is they focus so much on eitherthe aesthetic or the quality of
(37:23):
their audio, which is important.
You should focus on that, butthey don't spend as much time on
the content or the strategy orhow their podcast can play a
bigger role in their business orin monetization, and that's the
piece that I would encouragepeople to explore a lot sooner,
because I think that a lot ofpeople have it in their mind
(37:44):
that until I get a milliondownloads, I can't do anything,
and I'm like that's not true.
It's not true at all.
You can do so much with yourpodcast.
And this is actually where I'mgoing to give a shout out to
Doug, you know, for all the, allthe implementation that he's
done in showing up in ourcommunity and just learning and
being very receptive to adviceand suggestions and
(38:06):
recommendations, because I thinkthat that's something y'all are
doing really well, even at thebeginning of your show is having
, you know, just advice on whatwe could do better, what can we
incorporate and what are thenext steps.
And I think that the thing thaty'all are already working on I
mean we just kind of breezedover this, but from an
outsider's perspective likeyou're having someone from Mazda
(38:27):
come on your show really soon,like that's exciting, like
that's really so I encourage youto celebrate those wins along
the way, because they will keepcoming if you just keep showing
up.
And so find a way as a team, oreven as a community, to
celebrate with your audience too, because I think that a lot of
(38:48):
people create in a vacuum, wherethey're like I'm just talking
to my audience, like we're justtalking at you, talking at you,
talking at you.
But the moment you really rampup that audience engagement
which again I think y'all aredoing an incredible job You're
reading reviews, you're givingpeople shout outs in the show,
you're saying you know, friendof the pod, you know, and you're
calling people out by name,that really makes a big
(39:10):
difference.
So, as much as you can,engaging with your folks in your
audience, because they're goingto be the ones that tell you
hey, this is the content we wantto hear more of.
Or y'all haven't covered thisbefore and can you, can you talk
about this?
Or I have a great guestsuggestion, or even I would love
to come on the show, like, canwe chat about my story?
(39:30):
The more you just really leaninto your audience and listen to
your people, they're going totell you what they want to hear
and that's going to be the keyto really unlocking those next
levels of success in your show.
Christian (39:43):
Great answer, great answer.
And one thing that rings sotrue to me is that you have to
keep putting stuff out.
I'm one of these people.
I get a paralysis by analysis,the perfect be the enemy of the
good, and you can't do that.
You just got to keep shipping.
You just got to keep pushing itout the door, just keep pushing
out the door.
(40:03):
And the funny thing is is thatwe're light years better than we
were at the beginning, andthat's only by showing up.
And you know, I'm, I'm uh, I'mgood at process improvement, but
Doug is very good at it.
So it's always it's that thattinker, little bit of tinkering,
get a little bit better.
(40:24):
Man, get 1% better.
Every show 1% better.
All we got to be is 1% better.
We got to be 50% better.
Let's get 1% better this time.
So that's beautiful.
What do you think about allthat, doug?
Doug (40:36):
I think it's wonderful.
No, I feel like we've gotten somuch better and um as more
polished, I hope.
Um, yeah, getting better atediting.
We've got a few short videosout.
Uh, I'm getting more comfortablebeing on video and uh doing
things myself a little more anduh, you've, you've just been
(40:58):
that great stable, like Iremember we were a couple weeks
in and'm like why aren't wegetting downloads like so-and-so
Well, they've been doing itlonger.
Right, they've been at itlonger.
They have a real name thatpeople know.
But we're getting there andwe'll get there.
Yeah, we'll get there and, uh,we've, we've had some great you
(41:19):
know, I think I think aboutJames, andrew, a lot of other
people.
We've just had such greatsupport and engagement.
Yep, recently, james andCaroline from HH Wheels Like
what a great family and verypositive, very supportive.
Christian (41:37):
Yeah, I love that and I'm so glad that Crystal
mentioned polish, because youknow, I took a shower about a
month ago and it's made all thedifference in the world.
All right, she was CrystalProphet, crystal again, just a
total blast hanging out with you.

Very excited about this, and I'mgoing to read one right now,

What do you think?
Is that okay?
Yeah, here we go.
Share the love.
Here's one that's not toocritical of me.
We're not going to read any ofthose me.
(03:01):
We're not going to read any ofthose.
This one says what is happeningto my phone right now.
Okay, If you're a car guy, youhave to listen.
This is from December 4th from FMonty, maybe that's F1.
I don't know who that is.
I've always struggled to find.
Okay, this is the review.
(03:21):
I've always struggled to findthe best podcast about cars and
this one hit the nail on thehead.
It's engaging, funny,interesting and I love the
stories.
I for sure recommend thispodcast, not just for car people
, period, anybody.
Three exclamation points.
So that is when we started this.
(03:42):
Doug always likes to say thatthe show is about family,
bringing together people,talking about, kind of the daisy
chain of people in cars thatmove through our lives today.
The theme of today's show isgoing to be hand-me-downs, and
we will get into that.
But what do you think, doug,when the review says this is for
(04:02):
anybody?
It's not just for gearheads.
We have those.
We have people that restoreantiques car antique cars,
people who write books aboutcars, people who educate the
next generation how to work oncars.
But it's for anybody.
You don't have to know anythingabout cars to have a good time.
What do you?
Doug (04:17):
say I agree, and uh, pretty much all guests and uh,
we can, we can put our guests onthe spot when we get to her and
do the introduction.
Pretty much all of our guestshave said they have enjoyed the
preparation part.
We have that short form thattakes five minutes to fill out
intake form, and when they'refilling it out, just their mind
(04:40):
goes back to that first car.
It might have been 30 years ago, you know, in the case of your
son, when we had him on, itwasn't that long ago but,
there's still some smiles outthere and, uh, I I like seeing
that.
I also like being able to tie itback to you know, maybe it's
just a coincidence in the storythat triggers something in my
(05:00):
head that takes me back.
Christian (05:03):
Yeah, yeah, and it's.
It's interesting how we talkabout hey, where did the first
car come from?
Oh, you know, uh, some peoplejust had to work their fingers
to the bones.
Sometimes there werehand-me-downs, sometimes it was
grandma's car, sometimes it wasyou know.
It had been sitting up onblocks in the backyard and you
had to shoo away the mice andsquirrels before you even
started your restoration.
(05:24):
And so when we talk abouthand-me-downs, we're so excited
about today's guest, who has alot of experience and just
hilarious speaking with herbefore the show.
But I'm going to hand over thebaton here to Doug for the
introductions.
And how did Crystal come intoyour world?
Why is she such an appropriateguest for our show?
Doug (05:46):
Yeah, so many, many things , and I don't know exactly how
it happened, but when we wereworking on podcasting or
initially talking about it,crystal's podcast, the Prophet
Podcast, popped up and I startedlistening to her pretty
religiously.
Up, and I started listening toher pretty religiously and you
(06:08):
know it was funny.
What prompted me to put us onYouTube was actually one of
Crystal's episodes about just doit, make it simple, just bite
the bullet.
You don't even have to havevideo.
And so that kind of got usgoing.
And as soon as Crystal announcedI think it was towards the end
of last year her PodcastersConnect Community, which is a
and I'll let her do the justiceon it, but I am, I hope to think
(06:31):
I'm a very active member in itand Crystal gives me lots of
advice.
Truly amazing how much time shedevotes to everybody in there
who wants help, and we havemonthly calls.
So with that, I can't sayenough good things about Crystal
.
Oh, and when I said, would youlike to be on our podcast, she's
(06:52):
like sure, I'm not really a carperson, but I have a story or
two.
Christian (06:58):
It's going to be great.
She's going to be great, she'shere, she's waiting, crystal,
how are you?
Krystal (07:03):
Well, I mean, y'all do such an incredible job.
Thank you so much, Doug andChristian, for having me on the
show.
This is going to be incrediblebecause I did.
I was like, guys, I'm not a carperson, I'm really not.
And I started thinking when Iwas filling out the form you
know, because, as you said, youknow, I'm a podcast nerd to my
(07:23):
core and I love a good intakeform and the way that y'all have
it all laid out.
I was like, oh, there's somestories here, because it is what
I love.
I love to tell stories in mycontent.
It's how you take somethingthat could be a boring subject
and really amp it up or get itto the relatable piece of it for
(07:45):
your listeners to enjoy.
And I started thinking.
I was like I have some reallygood stories about cars and
they're not fancy, they're notflashy, but man, I'm excited.
So I just I can't wait to havethis conversation with you today
.
Christian (08:01):
Well, thank you for being here.
We appreciate that.
And before we get going here,just a little preamble, and
we'll mention it as prologue too.
If you're listening to thispodcast and you have your own
podcast, this happens a lot, andDoug is always bringing back
these wonderful nuggets from theether.
A lot of them come from Crystal.
(08:21):
A lot of them come from thisgreat, huge community of
podcasters.
Can we just pause for a second,crystal, and tell your
presences to everyone?
If they go on your YouTubechannel, what are they going to
learn about?
If they go on your podcast oryour social media, where would
they go to learn?
What about you?
Krystal (08:41):
Yeah, so you can find me everywhere.
You go to crystalprofitcom andthat's where you're going to be
plugged into the podcast andYouTube.
It's Crystal with a K andProfit has two F's and two T's
and, yes, that is my actual lastname, it is not a stage name.
I get that question a lot.
That's another story about howwhen I met my husband and we it
(09:01):
was a whole thing.
But cause I was like your namecan't really be profit, we met
at business school, right Likethat was a total line.
I was like that's a line thatyour last name is profit.
Doug (09:13):
Well, you would have spelled it, spelled it right if
it was actually profit, if itwas intentional.
Krystal (09:18):
Exactly.
Come on Like I, but it was.
It was I made him show like canI see your ID?
Cause I didn't believe him.
So again, another story foranother day.
But yeah, I have met so manycreators over the years and I
actually just met with someonetoday and they said the same
thing to me.
And that's, I want to be theperson that helps you.
(09:39):
Just keep showing up, becauseit gets hard, right?
I don't know if you know, and Iknow that the podcast is newer
to you.
But you come up against thesehurdles, whether it's your life
gets in your way or you have totake time off because a family
member sick, or you have to dounexpected travel, and then it
could just easily fall throughthe cracks that your podcast or
(10:01):
your content is a priority, andso I try to come up with
strategies that makes it fun,Like let's, let's not be so
restrictive and like, um, reallyjust rigid about the rules of
what you're creating and let'sjust infuse fun and create
around you know what you'repassionate about, which is what
I love that y'all are doing,because that's exactly the model
(10:22):
that we try to do is, hey, findsomething you're passionate
about that you could talk aboutliterally for hours, because
what you're going to do andenjoy it, lean into it really,
(10:48):
um, the kind of the inceptionfor the show.
Christian (10:49):
For sure, he's also this push and this creative
force that keeps us goingforward.
But there's, there's this,there's this special thing off
to the side, this pleasure partof it, where we we enjoy getting
together, we enjoy talking tothe guests.
And he said something magicwhere you just have to keep at
the grindstone.
And when we first started wedid our first two or three and
Doug said you know, I was somesome early advice that we got
(11:12):
before we knew you.
This fellow said you know, yougot to make it to 30 by hook or
crook.
You got to make it to 30 andtwo or three or four.
Yeah right, right, past 30 attwo or three or four.
I thought we're never going toget there.
I mean, this is my best pal,you know, with his new hobby.
I said I'll help him go as faras he wants to go.
I said we'll never get to 30.
(11:32):
Good grief, we have 30 or 40now that I think we've published
with another I don't know dozenin queue that Doug has to
sprinkle the magic engineeringdust on to get him out there.
Doug (11:46):
Yeah, well, we also had Matt Farah from, I think it's
Car and Driver editor said whenyou guys get to 99, when you
guys get to 99, give me a call,I'll be on your podcast.
So that's our target.
Krystal (12:01):
That's incredible and it's so fun.
So I love hearing y'all's storytoo, because I think it's
motivational for anybody that'slistening, just to find that
passion and just like starthanging out with your friends
that love to talk about it too,because then it doesn't feel
like work like me doing thiswith y'all, like this, doesn't
feel like work to me.
It just feels like another funconversation that I get to have
(12:23):
and and it's about, again,things that I wouldn't even
normally talk about but it's ina situation where I know your
listeners will appreciate whatwe're talking about here today
and that's what I try to do inany forum that I show up on is
how can I add value to thepeople that are listening,
because they're doing this forentertainment value, or they're
trying to get educated ormotivated and whatever they're
(12:43):
doing, and I like to justsprinkle in whatever kind of
magic I can and, you know, go goon to all the different pieces
of content that we can keepcreating for people that are out
there.
Christian (12:56):
Well, we are all about the magic.
Love to hear it, thank you, andbefore we let's see.
So we've talked a little bitabout what you do and I'd like
to maybe revisit your world alittle bit.
Instead of your stepping intoour world, as we've done for the
past few minutes, when we'redone talking about your cars, I
would like to maybe step inyours and talk a bit about your
(13:17):
business, your coaching, contentstrategy and creating content.
I think that would be wonderful.
But before we get there, fanservice, let's step into the
Wayback Machine and slide intothe nearest car that'll
transport us back to your dad's.
Let's go to where it allstarted dad's business.
Krystal (13:36):
Okay, okay.
So do you want me to just startwith what he did for a living
first?
Christian (13:42):
I think it's wonderful.
Please, please, I think it's.
We can't get enough of thesefamily stories.
Yes, please.
Krystal (13:48):
Yes, so my dad.
Actually, he started his ownplumbing business.
I was around 12 years old andhe was doing it all by you know,
scrapping things together andsaying, all right, like we're
going to make this business work.
He, he was an entrepreneur andyou know I'm following in his
footsteps and a lot of thethings that I do, but he was
(14:10):
like I just want to make thiswork and so he was on a tight
budget.
He was working with, you know,as many other contractors or
builders in the area that hecould get advice from or get
free supplies from, or he couldjust have, like you know, any
kind of partnerships around ourcommunity.
I grew up in Athens, texas,which is in Northeast Texas
(14:30):
small town, but it was just like, okay, I saw him working so
hard and I am the youngest ofthree siblings.
I have two older brothers and Iwatched my brothers have, you
know, um, not necessarily pickof the litter.
We wouldn't call it that.
We would call it like hey, uh,this vehicle runs so therefore
(14:54):
you can drive it when you want,but just know it's going to be a
work truck, like it's a worktruck during the week and maybe
on the weekends you can drive itand slowly over time, my dad
would say, okay, you know, youcan officially like, you've
proven yourself, you haven'twrecked this fully, you can
drive this full time.
So that's kind of what happenedfor my brothers.
But then whenever it got to bemy turn, he was like, oh, we
(15:16):
don't really have anything kindof in the rotation that him or
his workers were using.
And so I had the luxury, theprivilege of getting what was a
doo-doo Brown.
This is what I tell my kids whenthey ask me like tell us about
your first car?
It was doo-doo Brown plumbingtruck.
(15:37):
That was a single cab.
I still don't even really knowwhat exact year it was, but I
just remember it was a benchseat.
I had a bench seat.
Again, we're in Texas.
No AC, there was absolutely noair conditioning whatsoever.
It was manual windows for any,like, of course, my kids.
(15:57):
These days they were like whatyou like cranked them down.
Yes, it was a hand crankedwindow.
There was of this nothingautomatic about this none, none,
uh, it was.
It was, uh, automatic, right,so it wasn't a stick shift.
I still don't know how to drivea stick shift, so you know I'm
gonna disappoint a lot of thecar fanatics out there.
No, no, no but it also it didn'thave, uh, a rear view mirror,
(16:23):
which again I don't know how itpassed any inspections.
It only had one side mirror andit had a big crack in the
windshield.
And to get the windshieldwipers to work, there was like
electrical tape on the box underthe hood, so I would have to
pop the hood, like move thataround and jiggle it a little
bit to get the windshield wipersto work, which is the last
(16:45):
thing you want to do in arainstorm anyway.
So, yeah, that's I mean that'soverview my first vehicle, and
it cost a thousand dollars.
I do remember my dad sayingthat he's like this was a
thousand dollars.
You're welcome, here you go.
Doug (16:59):
And he gave it to you.
Krystal (17:01):
Yes, he gave it to me, but I did forget, and Doug
reminded me of this before westarted recording.
The best part about the wholething was, before he handed it
down to me, he did not take offthe large Blair plumbing
insignia on the driver's sidedoor, and I think it was on the
passenger side too.
(17:21):
So as soon as he said, here'sthe keys, this is your vehicle,
I went to the store and you know, some auto parts store got some
goo gone and immediatelystarted scraping it off.
And you could I mean you couldstill see it, let's just be
honest.
So I drove around town with aplumbing truck and I was very
grateful to have wheels.
Doug (17:42):
And it was cool at high school right.
Krystal (17:44):
Yeah, High school yeah sure.
Doug (17:48):
Sure, sure, probably a lot of trucks in Texas at high
schools.
I know there are a lot oftrucks in Texas for sure.
Christian (17:56):
Yes, and down here in Florida too.
Krystal (18:00):
Oh yeah.
Christian (18:01):
So what happened to that truck?
How long did you have thattruck?
Krystal (18:09):
Hmm, that's a good question.
And I couldn't remember if Ihad it for two years or about a
year and a half probably about ayear and a half and then I got
upgraded.
So while I had the the doo doobrown truck, my middle brother
had inherited the next truck.
(18:29):
It was the F three 50, which hewas.
We called her the the big beastbecause f-350 which she was, we
called her the the big beastbecause that's exactly what she
was the big truck she was thebig, the big mama truck.
She was very big, um, so I,while he had that, I was
drooling over it.
I was like, look at this, likeshe's so pretty and look at how
many, let's see, I was not agreat driver, so I was looking
(18:52):
at all the curbs I could hit andless damage I would do in this
monster truck, because that'swhat it was basically an, um, uh
, 18 wheeler.
That's what I was thinking whenI was driving this and I, like,
lifted the steering wheel allthe way up.
I felt like I was in anddriving some sort of train, yeah
yes, because I'm pretty tall.
(19:12):
I mean I'm I'm five, seven ish,and I loved that I still had to
get on the step bar to get intothis vehicle.
Doug (19:22):
I was like I'm literally driving a monster truck and then
be careful not to fall outright.
Krystal (19:26):
Yes, yes, exactly, exactly so that was while my
brother was driving that I wasjust salivating over like, oh my
gosh, I cannot wait to get thistruck.
And then eventually, one day Idon't even remember how the
exchange went, other than mybrother inherited the next truck
when he went off to college,newer F-350.
Christian (19:55):
Again, we were obsessed with these monster
trucks which for gas mileagepurposes made no sense
whatsoever.
Krystal (19:58):
but you know it was, it was affordable, I guess, for my
dad just to write it off andhand it down to his kids.
But yeah, but my brotherinherited the other truck so I
inherited his and I.
I love that vehicle, but for a16, 17-year-old to park in a
high school parking lot, I meanI just had to just take my
(20:18):
chances in the farthest I couldgo, because I was so terrified I
was going to take out like fourother vehicles trying to park
anywhere close to the school.
So I just, if I went toanywhere any stores, I was like
no, I'm just going to park wayout here where I won't damage
any other vehicles.
Christian (20:37):
I like how your father's fleet, your father's
business fleet I can just seeall these you know small
business person with thesetrucks lined up and then you
know, one gets bumped to thebottom of the depth chart and it
just starts this cascadethrough the brother and
sisterhood and it just kind ofmakes its way through you, uh,
to you.
(20:57):
I, I love that.
That's great.
Sorry, dog, you were gonna saysomething.
Doug (21:00):
No, it's, it's funny.
We're, you know, think aboutthings that uh, spark memories.
Um, this is a recent one, but Iwas at a monster truck show a
couple weeks ago with my son andit was so much fun and, uh,
just it's funny.
My 83 year old mother who'sstill driving she drives pretty
well, but not at night.
(21:21):
We don't want her to.
She's like I can't stand thesemonster trucks.
You know just any truck goingdown the road because they're so
big and so high and everybodylikes to deck them out and like
mom, you should have come to theMonster Truck Jam with me.
She would have.
Christian (21:36):
Yeah, oh she would have loved it.
Well, your mom is very petiteand in her petite little Honda
too, it's a Honda right yeah,Honda Accord yeah.
I mean, all these things arejust so much physically higher
when I get into a sedan sedan,you're down here, and then an
suv you're here, and then you're, you're in one of these.
Krystal (21:57):
uh, f-150 253 50s, it's another, but if you're crystal,
you're up here I'm well, thereyou go above everybody else.
But the fun thing was and it'sfunny because, like you said,
it's gonna spark to spark abunch of memories.
I remember I liked being thefriend that, like everyone,
wanted to ride with too, becauseI had the most room.
Doug (22:19):
I mean.
Krystal (22:19):
I had somebody.
I had a friend that had aneclipse.
I mean I don't remember whatyear that was Like.
She had this little bitty.
It was like a two door.
I don't even know what model.
That was Mitsubishi yes, that'swhat it was.
It was an Eclipse.
And she was like, oh, I can fitone other person whenever we're
(22:41):
driving back to practice orgoing to school.
And I was like I'm too tall, Ican't get in the backpack of
this without my knees being inmy chest.
And so when people would say,oh, you know, we're all just
going to go and Crystal's car, Iwas like, okay, great Cause it
was, it was a lot of fun to havethat.
And I remember this was like,you know, way back in the day,
let's get real fancy for all allthe young ones listening.
(23:03):
It was that truck, because myprevious one, the doo-doo Brown
one, the very first one, didn'teven have a tape deck.
So I couldn't at that point inthe nineties and early two
thousands.
You know the thing.
The cool thing was you put thetape in that connected to your
CD player external player andyou put it in there.
(23:25):
And so my first vehicle didn'thave that, but my second one,
the big mama truck, the big Idon don't remember if we called
her the big beast or big bertha,it was something big, but she
did so we could listen to ourtunes in there.
It didn't have a cd player.
It wasn't that fancy, but wehad the tape.
It's a work truck.
Christian (23:44):
It's where these guys are fixing things with their
hands.
They're not like rocking outfrom job to job, they're
sweating and thinking, and plusthe music is distracting.
Doug (23:53):
Right, music is definitely distracting.
Christian (23:55):
It's a good distraction.
So what happened to?
Do?
You remember what happened tothat to the F-350, or were you
on to more reasonable, lessgigantic automobiles?
Krystal (24:09):
So after that I did have an F-150 after that and
that was because we were gettinginto the practicality of me
going to college and I was goingto be about four, four and a
half hours away from home.
So I guess the fuel prices weretoo high that my parents were
finally like hey, let's considersomething a little more
(24:31):
economical.
Doug (24:31):
Yeah, still a truck, yeah, exactly.
Krystal (24:36):
So my freshman year, or it was my senior year of high
school and into my freshman yearActually, no, I take that back,
it was just my senior year ofcollege I had three trucks all
through high school.
My last one was an F-150.
And I'm so embarrassed to saythis because now I'm like, oh my
gosh, like the things that wedid when we were 18.
(24:57):
But the cool thing to do then,speaking of music, is I
installed with my own moneyBecause, again, the entrepreneur
, my dad, was like I willabsolutely not buy that for you,
but you can pay for thatyourself.
I saved up my money for mybirthday, christmas, everything,
and I got a CD player and asubwoofer Nice.
(25:18):
Now, just looking back, it'sone of those things it's like,
really, really, we did that, wedid that.
Oh, that was an accomplishment,but see, that was an
accomplishment.
Christian (25:28):
Now, to a generation that has a trillion songs in
your pocket.
That's no big deal, but to getinside of your two-ton jukebox
it meant a lot I remember in myBuick Skyhawk in high school.
I have not thought about thisin so long, but I guess I was a
junior or senior and I don'tknow if I worked for them.
(25:50):
Where did the money come from?
Maybe I robbed a bank?
I don't know if I worked forthem when did the money come
from?
Doug (25:55):
Maybe I robbed a bank?
I don't know what that is.
Christian (25:57):
But I had the nicest deck, tape deck.
Yeah, it must have been a tapedeck and it completely
transformed the experience ofjust hauling people around and
now it was just a partyeverywhere we went Right and you
become more popular, kind oflike how Crystal said and
Crystal did you install thestereo yourself?
Krystal (26:19):
Oh no no no, no, no, no .
That's one of those things thatwas like we had limited means
in my small town.
So I was like, oh, I'm going togo to the big city.
So I was like, oh, I'm going togo to the big city.
I'm air quoting big city like30 minutes away, because they
have a specialty store that canyou know, you can purchase,
(26:41):
install, do everything in just afew hours.
So that's that's.
That was the route that I chose.
Doug (26:49):
OK, nothing wrong with that.
Christian (26:51):
So now, as we move forward, are we about ready to
talk about the Swiss Army knifeof automobiles, the Honda
Odyssey Doug, or did we need toinject?
Doug (27:02):
something else in here.
No, no, no, I think talk aboutCrystal's current car right.
Yes, the family car.
Christian (27:09):
Let's talk about it.
I want to hear all the greatthings about your Odyssey and
then I'll say all the greatthings about my odyssey.
Krystal (27:14):
Go ahead, we'll geek out on the odyssey so my black
she, I love her she is my blackbeauty, and this is what we call
her.
We've had her.
She's a 2014 and we she was newto us in 2016, so she had like
30 000, maybe 35 000 miles todayin 2025.
(27:39):
She's got 140.
We just hit 140 000 and I meanI've never had, never had a
honda before this.
We had, as you heard, multipleFords.
I had two Ford Explorers beforethat too, and I just we were a
Ford family.
(27:59):
That's what we're going todrive.
And then we I kind of mentionedthis earlier, but we haven't
talked much.
I have three kids, so ages nowtoday they're 15, 12, and nine,
and so I needed a practical car,I need a practical mom car, and
it has just been the bestvehicle for road trips because,
(28:23):
we drive.
We live in Houston but we havefamily in the Dallas-Fort Worth
area and in Austin and in WestTexas.
So I mean, sometimes a roadtrip is seven hours for us and
we are able to do it comfortablywith all of our stuff in this
vehicle.
So anytime we keep talking about.
(28:44):
My husband and I were like,should we sell it?
Should we get another one?
It's like, yeah, maybe one day.
Like she's got a crack in thewindshield at the top, but it's
above, like everything, I don'teven care.
Like she's got some strippedpaint on the side, Like I mean,
I don't care, I love her.
She's ragged and she's you knowshe's seen better days.
Christian (29:04):
We call it battle scars.
Yes, exactly, exactly.
Does yours have the lazy Susandown below?
Or did they retire that in theold?
In the newer models?
Krystal (29:15):
Yeah, that sounds fancy .
Christian (29:18):
Oh, I had a 2004 or 5 .
And right behind the driver andpassenger, but before kind of
the captain seat, there was thiskind of secret compartment
where you'd rip up the floor andthere was a I'm not kidding.
There was kind of this circularthing.
Maybe it was two and a halffeet in diameter or something
(29:40):
like this.
It was underneath the car butyou could sort of spin it to get
at different departments,compartments inside of there.
It was a lazy-sues insideOdyssey.
I don't remember that.
Yeah, like you're saying, it'sjust a total swiss army knife.
I remember when, when I got itwith my, my former wife, I said,
well, why do we need a car likethis?
(30:02):
You know the family was growing, ended up with three boys, but,
um, it was just, uh, to be ableto have enough space to, like
you're saying, it's.
It's not only the people, it'sthe stuff.
So I could fit 25 bags of mulchin my whole family and once you
got.
You know, I could fit.
When I was redoing a kitchen Icould just shove cabinet and
(30:23):
take out all the seats and justshove a bunch of cabinets in
there, you know, and I was like,oh wow, I get it I get it it.
Doug (30:30):
And for a while you had dueling minivans, didn't you?
You both had Honda Odysseys, Ithink.
For a time we did.
I don't know how or why thathappened, but yeah, you loved it
I did.
You were a big fan.
Christian (30:45):
Just a great car.
Yeah, I've had a few Hondas inmy day.
I still have a beat up oldAcura in the park.
I was texting with my son.
He got a new car last night andI was texting with him and he
said do you still have thatAcura?
You kept the Acura.
(31:07):
I said yeah.
He said my money's on the Acuramy money's on that thing, just
outlasting everything you got.
It's the backup plan.
It's always yeah, it just won'tstop.
It't won't stop, won't die.
And hey, you know, just justjust sticking around is so much
of success in life, isn't?
Doug (31:20):
it, yes, yes it really is.
Christian (31:22):
It really is so.
Uh, let's see, as we sort of,as we sort of guide the, the
podcast here, to the off-ramp.
Did we have anything else wewanted to discuss?
D before we talked a little bitand had kind of a lightning
critique of our podcast herefrom the Jedi, the guru herself.
Doug (31:41):
Well, I just put Crystal on the spot and we did
beforehand.
What is your dream car or cars?
Krystal (31:49):
Yes.
Doug (31:50):
What's going to replace Black Beauty?
Krystal (31:52):
Okay, so we have been looking at pilots, we've been
looking at honda pilots for awhile and it was a cousin of
mine that got the newer, likewhenever the body because you
know, the bodies had severaliterations over the last 10
years.
I would say it's gone throughseveral, you, you know, it's
(32:13):
like square and round and squareand I'm like it, just it.
It's always looked appealing tome.
And then recently I think itwas like the 24 body style we
really liked.
And then just the other daywe're walking our youngest son
to the bus stop and we saw a Kiaand I was like what is that?
(32:34):
Because I saw it has slidingdoors.
I was like, is this a Kiaminivan?
This is gorgeous.
And I am not like someone tostop, like I just don't really
look at cars that much where I'mlike, oh, that's great, unless
it's something that we've talkedabout, like, oh, we should, you
know, explore, looking at that.
But I cannot for the life of me, remember what it was.
(32:55):
But it's the Kia minivan and Ithink it's a newer model that
they just came out with.
I'm like I would go to, I wouldgo look at that.
I would absolutely go and lookand see if it rivals because it
(33:16):
was a little bit shorter thanthe Odyssey, but it looked like
it had a lot of really coolfeatures that were on it.
So yeah, it's the Kia Carnival.
Doug (33:21):
Yeah, go ahead.
It's the.
It's the Kia Carnival.
One of my neighbors has one,and the nice thing maybe this is
what you liked about it itdoesn't look like a minivan.
The doors blend in very well,Like you wouldn't think it's an
SUV if you didn't have to looktwice.
Krystal (33:37):
Yeah, and I think that's why it caught my eyes,
because I was like wait, thosedoors slide, Like what am I
looking at what's happening here?
And it was a few neighbors down, they have several kids and I
was like, okay, so this ispractical, it's practical.
So if if we're talking aboutpractical, practical dreams,
then something like that.
(33:58):
If we're talking aboutirrational and like just like
what would you do?
You want a million dollarstomorrow, like, what kind of car
are you going to buy?
I have always loved the PorscheCayennes and watching them.
It's, which is funny, cause I'mnot someone that really likes
to go fast, but also I kind ofwant to just go fast in that car
(34:18):
, just to see what happens.
Um, so that would be like if,if money wasn't an option and I
could buy something tomorrow,that would be the one that I
think I at least want to testdrive, like let's, let's see
what this is all about.
Doug (34:31):
Yeah, my, our previous guests, dora, who lives in
Austin, she bought a Cayenne.
I think she bought the V8 Turbo.
She drives like a maniac.
Actually, we had Chris Oliveron, who's a friend of hers, on
another episode and he's like,yeah, she drives faster than
anybody I've ever met.
Krystal (34:50):
Oh, my gosh yeah.
So yeah, be careful with met ohmy gosh yeah.
Christian (34:52):
So, yeah, be careful with that, be careful with that.
So yeah, so again, crystal.
It's just been after hearing somany wonderful things about you
over the past several months.
Thank you for taking the timeand before we let you go here,
just remind everybody to checkout Crystal's presences here.
(35:13):
Just remind everybody to checkout Crystal's presences.
Crystalprofitcom crystal with aK profit with two Fs and I and
two Ts com, and basically herpodcast consulting business, has
really allowed us to elevate orraise our game.
So if this is something thatyou're into, please check her
out and reach out.
(35:34):
Very accessible, she's apodcast coach who helps
strategize around content, whichhelped us out a lot, because
creating content is really keyin what it's all about.
So, crystal, if you could I'mgoing to put you on the spot
here If you could give us onething that podcasts do well, and
(35:57):
then one thing podcasts don'tdo well, and then if we could
make it more local here.
What's one thing our podcast isdoing well and could improve
upon?
What do you think?
Krystal (36:09):
Yeah.
Christian (36:10):
Do it Crystal.
Krystal (36:11):
I love all these questions and now we're like
we're in my creative zone ofgenius.
Christian (36:16):
So this is exciting.
Krystal (36:18):
I think that For anybody that's listening, that's
interested in podcasting, or ifit's been something on your
mind and you want to know kindof behind the scenes, listen.
I've talked to thousands ofpodcasters.
I've been doing this since 2018.
We were talking earlier likeI've done over 1400 episodes
myself.
I've interviewed hundreds ofpodcasters, so like this is
(36:39):
literally what I eat, sleep andbreathe, and I think that the
thing that most podcastersstruggle with is just keep going
, just finding the ability tokeep showing up, no matter, you
know, if you get sick with theflu or you know like something
else chaotic and crazy and yourbusiness is going weird or your
(37:00):
day job is super hard.
Like.
Finding systems and processesthat allow you to keep showing
up has been the frustration, butalso the key to just keep going
is finding that balance andwhat that can look like for you.
I think a big area forimprovement for a lot of people
is they focus so much on eitherthe aesthetic or the quality of
(37:23):
their audio, which is important.
You should focus on that, butthey don't spend as much time on
the content or the strategy orhow their podcast can play a
bigger role in their business orin monetization, and that's the
piece that I would encouragepeople to explore a lot sooner,
because I think that a lot ofpeople have it in their mind
(37:44):
that until I get a milliondownloads, I can't do anything,
and I'm like that's not true.
It's not true at all.
You can do so much with yourpodcast.
And this is actually where I'mgoing to give a shout out to
Doug, you know, for all the, allthe implementation that he's
done in showing up in ourcommunity and just learning and
being very receptive to adviceand suggestions and
(38:06):
recommendations, because I thinkthat that's something y'all are
doing really well, even at thebeginning of your show is having
, you know, just advice on whatwe could do better, what can we
incorporate and what are thenext steps.
And I think that the thing thaty'all are already working on I
mean we just kind of breezedover this, but from an
outsider's perspective likeyou're having someone from Mazda
(38:27):
come on your show really soon,like that's exciting, like
that's really so I encourage youto celebrate those wins along
the way, because they will keepcoming if you just keep showing
up.
And so find a way as a team, oreven as a community, to
celebrate with your audience too, because I think that a lot of
(38:48):
people create in a vacuum, wherethey're like I'm just talking
to my audience, like we're justtalking at you, talking at you,
talking at you.
But the moment you really rampup that audience engagement
which again I think y'all aredoing an incredible job You're
reading reviews, you're givingpeople shout outs in the show,
you're saying you know, friendof the pod, you know, and you're
calling people out by name,that really makes a big
(39:10):
difference.
So, as much as you can,engaging with your folks in your
audience, because they're goingto be the ones that tell you
hey, this is the content we wantto hear more of.
Or y'all haven't covered thisbefore and can you, can you talk
about this?
Or I have a great guestsuggestion, or even I would love
to come on the show, like, canwe chat about my story?
(39:30):
The more you just really leaninto your audience and listen to
your people, they're going totell you what they want to hear
and that's going to be the keyto really unlocking those next
levels of success in your show.
Christian (39:43):
Great answer, great answer.
And one thing that rings sotrue to me is that you have to
keep putting stuff out.
I'm one of these people.
I get a paralysis by analysis,the perfect be the enemy of the
good, and you can't do that.
You just got to keep shipping.
You just got to keep pushing itout the door, just keep pushing
out the door.
(40:03):
And the funny thing is is thatwe're light years better than we
were at the beginning, andthat's only by showing up.
And you know, I'm, I'm uh, I'mgood at process improvement, but
Doug is very good at it.
So it's always it's that thattinker, little bit of tinkering,
get a little bit better.
(40:24):
Man, get 1% better.
Every show 1% better.
All we got to be is 1% better.
We got to be 50% better.
Let's get 1% better this time.
So that's beautiful.
What do you think about allthat, doug?
Doug (40:36):
I think it's wonderful.
No, I feel like we've gotten somuch better and um as more
polished, I hope.
Um, yeah, getting better atediting.
We've got a few short videosout.
Uh, I'm getting more comfortablebeing on video and uh doing
things myself a little more anduh, you've, you've just been
(40:58):

in and'm like why aren't wegetting downloads like so-and-so

people.

Christian (41:37):

month ago and it's made all thedifference in the world.
