What if real estate wasn’t just about money—but mission?

In this powerful first guest episode of Sugar, Spice & Spirits, we sit down with Wes Foster—pastor, foster parent, community builder, and real estate investor—to talk about faith, leadership, generosity, and a real estate system most agents never learn.

Wes shares how he:

• Transitioned from ministry into real estate investing
• Built over $500,000 in equity without using his own money
• Helps investors and agents scale through off-market deals Views money as a tool—not a taboo

This episode blends real estate strategy, life lessons, and purpose-driven leadership in a way you rarely hear—whether you’re an investor, agent, entrepreneur, or just someone asking “What’s the right way to build wealth?”

We didn’t wait until it was perfect — we launched anyway.

From imposter syndrome to hot-tub recordings, this is what real podcasting looks like.

Get a look back when we first launched and sat down at Podcast Movement with Acast for a quick interview, that turned into a raw, honest conversation about what it really takes to launch a podcast - imperfections, self-doubt, messy setups, and all.

We’re Sugar, Spice & Spirits - a podcast about business, life, real estate, and everything in between, served with strong opinions, real conversations, and a cocktail (or mocktail) to kick things off.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Launching a podcast before feeling “ready”
• Why authenticity beats perfection every time
• Building community instead of chasing vanity metrics
• Imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and betting on yourself
• Creating a podcast as a real business — not just a hobby
• Why relatability matters more than studio perfection

If you’ve ever thought about starting a podcast, business, or creative project — this is your sign to start now and refine as you go.

Christmas hits different when you’re an adult — and in this episode of Sugar, Spice & Spirits, we prove it with White Elephant gift chaos, rapid-fire holiday “would you rather” questions, and the kind of stories you only tell after the coffee kicks in.

Natalie’s repping from New York City at Christmas, while Mindy and Kelly bring Texas cheer (and peppermint everything). Then we get into the real fun: the wildest gift exchange moments we’ve ever seen — including a gift that definitely didn’t follow the price limit, a 50-cup industrial coffee maker that should’ve come with an apology, and yes… a LIVE CHICKEN showing up like it paid rent.
