It’s not his first Big Surf — but it might be his last! David Busch has opened 24 waterparks in his career, and now he’s leading the charge at SuperSplash USA, formerly Big Surf.

We talked about the mad scramble to get a waterpark open, the hilarious horror stories that come with it, and the new changes coming to SuperSplash this year. But most importantly, we dove into David’s bigger mission — running a business that’s intentionally Christian, from how they treat guests to how they raise up their team of ambassadors.

This episode is a ride — and a refreshing one.

*LISTENER NOTE* -- We recorded this episode on-site, in the midst of SuperSplash's scramble to open. AND it was a terribly windy day! So you'll hear equipment running in the background, and the wind whipping the curtains on the cabana where we sat. It's admittedly not the best sound quality, but it's very *real life*. I hope it doesn't bother you too much, and you can enjoy the interview!

In this free-ranging episode, I joined Nadine Kelsay on her show on DAM Radio, and we went for it, on some spicy topics.

We talk about why the Minimum Wage might actually be evil, whether AI is just digital Frankenstein, and yes — we even go there, with robot girlfriends. A fun, fast-paced convo that’ll get your brain cooking, and is guaranteed controversial!

For this episode, we sat down in a barn full of treasures with Cody West, a collector, restorer, and storyteller of old things.

From antique signs to vintage tools, Cody has a gift for seeing value in what most people overlook. We talked about the Davis Baskets sign he and his wife Emily lovingly restored, why old things are worth saving, and what they teach us about life at Lake of the Ozarks — past and present.

There’s a little echo in the audio-quality from the on-site interview, but this one’ll echo in your heart long after it’s over.
