Does Tromba work with the various different regions as well, or is there a particular focus on one region?
32:11
No, that's a good question.
32:12
Jalisco is the state.
32:14
So there's five states.
32:15
There's Guanajuato, Tamalitas, Michoacan, Jalisco, and Guanajuato is the other one.
32:22
So those are the five Mexican states that you can produce tequila in, okay? Okay.
32:26
Jalisco, however, has the best climate and culture.

It's probably one of those things, those magic ingredients where you don't really know it's in there, but without it, the whole product would fall flat kind of experience.
38:30
Has Jimmy and team maintained their like what what what is your vision for the brand?
38:38
So I actually have the great opportunity and direct line.
38:44
So I direct report into our CEO, who was one of the founders, the Canadian guy.
38:50
His name is Eric Brass.
38:52
He's incredible.
38:53
I have so much fun and I'm learning so much from him.
38:56
And it's just been like, he's still hands-on.
41:10
Who's your target for that size? Like who are you targeting? Is it restaurants? Is it packaged liquor stores? Yeah, we are.
8:43
But where might we see the most immediate effects from this housing bill if it ultimately becomes law?
8:50
I think the hope is that it will encourage the proliferation of factory-built housing.
8:56
It has the manufactured housing chassis requirement that I mentioned.
9:00
It would establish HUD as the regulator of modular housing, which is very similar, but it's sort of the prefab elements that are put together in a factory, but then they're assembled on site.
9:10
They're not transported to the site as a house.
9:13
That hope may be, like, a little Pollyanna-ish, to be honest, because manufactured housing still has kind of a branding problem, for lack of a better word.
9:21
Like, people think of trailer parks, and they zone against it.

[instrumental music] So, say he ultimately does sign it, or this bill ultimately passes, what does this whole saga tell you about the state of US politics right now, and where housing policy fits in?
36:24
Katie, tell us about Shadow on the Water Pilgrimages.
36:27
Yeah, so as, as m- uh, Brian mentioned previously, I work for a man named Mike Nolan, who lives in South Bend with his family.
36:34
He has seven children, five grandchildren, and he has been leading, um, pilgrimages to Medjugorje for about 14 years.
36:42
And then a few years ago in 2022, started a ministry, uh, to kind of branch out to do, um, mission trips and, and different ministry trips as well.
36:51
So, uh, I remember as far as like, you know, marriage and mission working together, I remember back in the day, uh, as, as y- we've been hearing Brian's ministry is very, uh, local.
37:01
It's set in a neighborhood, Hilltop specifically.
37:04
And, uh, well, back when we were dating, I had told Brian, you know, "I, I just really feel called to foreign missions," and, and yeah, uh, going abroad [laughs] it's like I can't change what I feel like God's doing in my heart.

Has, has that come into mind?
