A big risk. A business built with determination. And a leader who knows success means taking care of your people.

In my latest segment of Beyond the Edge, I sit down with Bryan Howell to hear the story behind Diesel Power Products. What began with buying a business he knew little about grew into a company with a culture centered on health, purpose, and empowering people.

Bryan’s commitment goes beyond the business. It’s about his employees, their families, and the community they’ve built together.

Watch the full segment of Beyond the Edge to hear Bryan's story.

Did you know National Dessert Day is October 14? 👀🍪🍦🍰

Felt like the perfect excuse to put together a little Scottsdale sweet treat hit list.

From classic sundaes and artisan gelato to donuts, pastries, and bakery favorites, Scottsdale has plenty of spots worth checking out when the sweet tooth hits.

Save this for later, and send it to the friend who is always down for a dessert run 👇

Over 90 years of cold drinks, good times, and Cave Creek history. 🌵🎶

Last year, I had the chance to film a segment at Harold’s Cave Creek Corral and sit down with Danny to hear the story behind this longtime local staple, from its start as a small b**r and liquor stand in 1935 to the community gathering place it is today.

Now, Harold’s is celebrating 91 years with an outdoor concert under the stars featuring Parmalee, and a late-night after-party inside the new Stage ’35 pavilion.

Some places don’t just exist in a community. They become part of its story.

Strong companies don’t just invest in the business. They invest in the people behind it.

In this conversation with **Bryan Howell, President of Diesel Power Products**, we talked about how his team has taken employee wellness beyond the standard benefits package, with everything from a pickleball court and stretch therapy to personal trainers.

What started as a way to help manage the stress of working hard has grown into something bigger: community.

There’s a lot that goes into a successful real estate experience beyond finding the right house or putting a sign in the yard.

It’s patience, strategy, communication, trusted connections, and making sure my clients feel taken care of every step of the way. I’m incredibly grateful for the people who have trusted me to guide them through buying, selling, and relocating here in Arizona.

Thank you for the kind words and, more importantly, the trust.
