Welcome to Sake & Hot Tubs with Fred and Lisa, where big ideas start small and conversations flow as freely as the drinks. Step away from the noise of everyday life, pour yourself a glass, and join us in our own personal incubator of inspiration.
About the show
This is not your average real estate show. While we know a thing or two about houses, hustle, and the chaos coordinators behind the scenes, we’re really here for the human stories that shape our lives, businesses, and communities. Across our episodes, we sit down with local connectors, entrepreneurs, and friends to dive into the messy, beautiful work of leadership, resilience, and personal growth. Whether we're exploring the grit it takes to show up every day, discussing navigating major life pivots and difficult decisions, or sharing a laugh about multi-generational family traditions at the Iowa State Fair, our goal is simple: to help you slow down, tune in, and let your ideas take shape.
What you'll discover
- Real conversations about building businesses, showing up with grit, and taking the initiative to create your own opportunities.
- Honest, unfiltered reflections on personal setbacks, life changes, and staying afloat when things get tough.
- Stories from local business owners, community champions, and unforgettable hometown connectors who make where we live feel like home.
- Fresh perspectives on real estate, balancing multiple hustles, and finding that sweet spot between work and family.
- Deep dives into friendship, loyalty, and the people who have your back no matter what.
- A healthy dose of humor, great drinks, and the reminder that the best breakthroughs usually happen when you stop trying so hard and just start talking.
Who this podcast is for
This podcast is for the thinkers, the doers, and anyone who prefers substance over small talk. If you're an entrepreneur looking for a spark, a community member who loves a good local story, or simply someone who enjoys an honest conversation between friends over a glass of sake, you’ve found your people. You don't need to be in the housing market to tune in—you just need an open mind and an appetite for genuine connection.
Meet the hosts
Fred and Lisa bring a unique blend of humor, heart, and life experience to every single session. As two people who have navigated the ups and downs of business, relationships, and personal growth firsthand, they know how to strip away the corporate polish and get straight to the good stuff.
