From there, Chris and Veronica jump into theater season ticket plans, the importance of supporting the arts, and why bathroom design at playhouses matters more than you think.
They share behind-the-scenes details about an upcoming underground art explosion—word-of-mouth only, like a rave for artists—and explore ways to spark more casual, community-driven gatherings. The discussion shifts to event planning realities: setting realistic expectations for turnout, focusing on the impact rather than headcount, and keeping events under 90 minutes when possible.
The episode also dives into boundaries and time management—navigating friend vs. client requests, scheduling intentionally, and resisting the pressure to drop everything for “urgent” but non-critical tasks. Throughout, Rico the dog gets his share of attention, and the show wraps with a plan to end the day the best way possible—by grabbing pizza.
A blend of humor, event wisdom, and a push for building community for the joy of it.

Chris shares about a unique wellness space offering everything from pelvic floor therapy to breathwork, while Veronica talks about finding the right pedicurist and massage therapist who actually listen.
The conversation shifts to creative community projects, including Veronica’s plans for a Día de los Muertos drag show and the debate over making papier-mâché masks versus buying plain ones for a group-decorating workshop. Chris offers practical event tips, and they brainstorm ways to make it fun and feasible.
They also chat about dogs with quirks—like Chris’s sister’s emotional support animal who won’t go to the bathroom on a leash—and her major backyard renovation project. From brown summer lawns to rain barrels, the episode blends personal updates with plenty of laughs, playful banter, and the ever-charming antics of Rico, who gets his own share of the spotlight.
It’s a warm, wandering conversation full of humor, practical advice, and a little community-building magic.

The conversation turns to car cleanliness (or lack thereof), with Chris advocating for regular detailing and Veronica admitting her backseat used to double as a mobile closet.
From there, they dive into the parallels between decluttering a car, inbox, or home and running a business—highlighting the importance of systems, organization, and knowing when to cut unnecessary things. Chris shares his love of “to-do meetings” where tasks get done on the spot, while Veronica talks about accountability, triaging priorities, and teaching people to either learn a skill or pay for it.
They swap stories about client collaborations, high-performing teams versus basic groups, and the value of setting prices for tasks others don’t want to do. The episode wraps with talk of adding a “Rico Cam” to showcase Chris’s adorable dog during recordings, complete with sunbathing, heating pads, and selective barking.
It’s a mix of humor, practical advice, and a reminder that whether it’s business or personal life—sometimes the best strategy is to stop talking about it and just do it now.

The conversation takes a few buggy turns, from earwigs and wolf spiders to Florida critter encounters that could move shopping bags.
They share laughs about technical mic adjustments, planning high school reunions, and the vastly different life paths classmates have taken. Veronica talks about missing school-year continuity as a military family, while Chris recounts his recent 25-year reunion weekend.
The duo also covers the joys of personal downtime—Chris shares his impromptu “reset” night at a Seattle hotel complete with snacks, Netflix, and a big bath—sparking a conversation about the value of intentional self-care away from home. Along the way, they debate dark vs. milk chocolate, gush over nut mixes, and swap ideas for car-free Seattle adventures.
It’s classic Chris and Veronica: fun, random, and full of relatable tangents.

We kick things off with the exclusive Seahawks limited-run hat, chat about golfing in style, and then take a sharp turn into the juicy downfall of 23andMe and the wild world of genetic data. From there, we go deep - talking about vaccines, cancer prevention, and how we each are something different to everyone in our lives.

Oh, and if you’re into economic development and the calming magic of audiobooks? We’ve got that too.

It’s thoughtful, hilarious, and a little all over the place - in the best possible way.
