00:00-16:00- AQHWTB- Did Aimee really do that? 

16:01-END- “If it’s easy, it’s not worth it.” Mike Brasch is my former strength and conditioning coach at MNSU and now is running his own private strength coaching services called "Optimized You". Mike has trained a bunch of professional & college athletes over the years and let me tell ya, his journey is an interesting one... From working with the Colorado rockies, to NIU, to Mash performance, to a desk job, then to starting his own company.. Mike has been all over the map and has stories from all of his different experiences. He is incredibly passionate & knowledgeable when it comes to strength and conditioning but had no idea how to start a company and all the nuances that come along with it, so Mike got to learning. From working for free, to charging $20 for work out programs, to learning he could actually charge quite a bit more.. Thank you Mike for coming on and sharing your story!

This week on "A quarter hour with the Bauer's" Mitch and Aimee go back and fourth about a few different things that transpired this week, one being a sleep regression by our two year old, another being Mitch hanging up on Aimee because of something very small. Then we talk about Jamie Lee Curtis, her weird picture, and wonder what the heck is up with Hollywood? Thanks for watching! Enjoy!

(18:28-END)- Real Estate Talk with West Edge investments co-owner- Jamie Bolinger

West Edge investments is a real estate investment company that was started by Jamie and Jacob Bolinger right here in Minnetonka, MN in 2015. Since 2015 West Edge has grown their portfolio to an impressive $11 million in holdings and just over 50 total units spread out between 15-17 different properties. Jamie and Jacob specialize in house hacking and/or the BRRR method but have also dipped their toes into other facets of real estate such as short term rentals (airbnb/VRBO). Over the past 3 years, I have also invested quite a bit of resources into real estate (listen to beginning ad for more info), so it was a lot of fun for me to be able to pick the brain of an expert in that field. If you have ever been interested in getting into the real estate game, this is a great episode to listen to. Jamie has a ton of knowledge and expertise to spill and is more than willing to help anyone who would like to get started!

Thanks for listening, 

Love you all

How many people have heard the saying sports are 80% mental and 20% physical? I think Michael Jordan said that... and if you haven't it's likely because you haven't participated in competitive sport. Being physically capable of doing something is one thing, but being able to handle big pressure situations is a whole different ball game. Our friend Harvey Martin is a human performance coach whom works with professional athletes on how to handle big pressure situations. Harvey is a man that wears many hats... business owner, human performance coach, public speaker, breath expert, hot/cold therapist, human behavior enthusiast and now author. Breathe, focus and Excel by Harvey Martin comes out February 2023. This book will mainly focus on breathing, and the benefits of breathing correctly, specifically for athletes. I know... sounds odd, because most of us don't even think about breathing and how to breathe, we just do it, but that's the issue... We need to learn to breathe better and more efficiently and that is exactly what Harvey teaches. Harvey has trained professional athletes on breath work and the mental side of sports for many years now and continues to do this while he finishes his book. Harvey currently works with the SF Giants big league team and trains their players on all things breathing and holistic style physiology. Harvey thrives learning about new wholistic practices, human behavior, as well as diving into the depths of Psychology. Harvey is the type of guy where when he's in the room, he's the person you want to listen to. He is incredibly intelligent and passionate about his trades and through this he has found a ton of success. Strap yourself in and get ready to learn and laugh with our friend Harvey Martin. Enjoy!

For many athletes, figuring out what to do post athletics can be very challenging. We often are so instilled in our athletics, we forget there is an entire world outside of athletics. Wojo had one of thee—if not, thee best season of all time in college baseball history. 99 hits, 101 RBIs, 33 bombs... all in just 226 at bats... MY GOODNESS. After the season, Woj was drafted by the Phillies in the 16th round. Battling injuries and different things throughout his career, he decided to hang up the cleats and find a new passion. So what is he up to now? Wojo is now starting his own nutrition coaching/fitness company. Woj has had his own internal beasts he has had to battle over the years but they have all led him to where he is today. Lots of good nuggets in here and if you are looking for a fitness/nutrition coach, Wojo is your guy! Enjoy! Love you all

So many different emotions are felt throughout the conversation and such great stories told throughout. Al and I have been close friends since we were in elementary school... we met playing hockey, but grew up playing a variety of different back yard sports together. With sports being a focal point in our relationship we naturally, started out this episode touching on all things, Minnesota sports. Al has always been a natural leader in sports and now translates that leadership to his everyday life, starting his home services company- ACM home services.. His trade and degree is HVAC, but also thrives in projects outside of that.. Growing up, Al succeeded in classes that allowed him to be creative, such as, Art and/or Tech Ed, so I can only imagine he will find success in this field. Any help you need around the house, Al is your one stop shop, handyman. Tune in to hear us talk about what brought Al to where he is today and the different trials and tribulations he faced throughout his journey in life. Enjoy! Love you all
