Who we are

Three decades of friendship, working together, playing golf, exploring the world, and livin’ that GenX life have created a whole lot of memories (and a few that we have thankfully forgotten). Chad, Rob and Tim have been friends, co-workers, confidants, schoolmates, and… well, basically brothers since we had single digit body fat!

Each of us have been integral parts of one another’s lives through the fun times, bad times, and a ton of adventures. From Mission Beach to Vegas to Cabo & across the country, we’ve been the classic GenX kids living life and making memories.

We envisioned this podcast as a way for us to share our experiences as we head into the later stages of our careers and lives… And have a ton o’ fun in the process. With our successful professional careers and questions as we approach our ‘next big thing’ we all hope you will enjoy our show!
