Pour Decisions Episode 10: Tentacles and Trolls

Pour Decisions Episode 10: Tentacles and Trolls

This week on @pourdecisionswithus, we somehow went from talking about octopi and AI to keyboard warriors and hyperbaric chambers… and honestly, that tracks perfectly for us. In Episode 10, Erin and David dive into one of David's Dad's books, social media drama, why people act so differently behind a screen, Erin's new job, and a fascinating conversation about hyperbaric oxygen therapy and healing. It’s part science, part sarcasm, part relationship banter, and completely unfiltered. Basically, if you’ve ever wondered what would happen if AI, octopi, internet trolls, and oxygen tanks ended up in the same conversation over drinks… this episode is for you.  Thanks for listening to Pour Decisions.

Episode 9 - Between the Struggle and the Comeback

In this episode, we’re getting honest about what life really looks like right now. We talk about the pressure so many people are feeling in this economy and what it’s like trying to stay afloat when everything feels a little uncertain. Erin shares the story behind stepping into a new job and what that transition looks like behind the scenes, while still balancing real estate, life, and everything in between. We also dive into what’s happening in today’s real estate market, how it’s shifting, and why building trust with clients matters more now than ever. This isn’t the market for fluff… it’s the market for real conversations and real relationships. Through it all, we talk about gratitude, perspective, and holding onto hope even when things feel tight. If you’ve been feeling the weight of it all but still showing up anyway, this one’s for you.

Episode 8, Should We Run for County Commissioner… or Stay in Our Lane?

Santa Rosa County, Navarre, Pensacola… this is home, and this conversation matters more than people think. Local politics is where real decisions get made, the kind that shape our growth, our neighborhoods, and our future. We care about smart growth, transparency, and making sure our community is protected while still moving forward. So yes, we’re talking about county commissioner, leadership, and what it really takes to serve.  This isn’t noise, this is real talk about what matters right here on the Emerald Coast.  #SantaRosaCounty #NavarreFL #PensacolaFlorida #LocalPolitics #CountyCommission #CommunityMatters #GrowthDoneRight #VoteLocal #EmeraldCoast #RealTalk  Thanks for listening to Pour Decisions.

Episode 7 - Anniversary, Alcohol & Algorithms

This one felt like a reset we didn’t even realize we needed. We got away for our anniversary, and somewhere between the wine tastings, the quiet moments, and just being together, we actually put our phones down… like really put them down.  No constant scrolling, no checking notifications, no half-listening while pretending to be present. And you know what? It changed everything. We laughed more, talked more, connected in a way that reminded us of what all of this is actually about.  In this episode, we’re talking about our trip, the wine, and what happens when you unplug long enough to see each other again. And yes, we’re also calling ourselves out… because getting back home and picking those phones back up is a whole different story.  Thanks for listening to Pour Decisions.

Episode 6 - Toothpaste, Tension & Taking Care of Mom and Dad

There is a moment in life that no one really prepares you for. It is when the people who raised you slowly start needing you. Not in big dramatic ways at first, but in small everyday moments that somehow feel heavier than anything else. In this episode of Pour Decisions, we talk about what that really looks like in our lives right now. David shares what it is like caring for his 98-year-old father. The routines, the responsibility, and the quiet reality of watching someone you love age right in front of you. It is not always easy, and it is not always talked about, but it is real. I open up about my mom, who is 89 and in assisted living. The constant thoughts that run through your mind. Am I doing enough. Am I making the right decisions. How do you balance your own life, your business, your marriage, and still show up the way you want to for your parent. There is a lot of love in it, but there is also guilt, pressure, and moments that catch you off guard. We also talk about hitting 20 years of marriage. Because when you are in this season of life, your relationship shifts too. You lean on each other in different ways. You see each other differently. And somehow, you keep showing up together through all of it. And because this is us, we do not stay serious the whole time. David goes off on why he does not trust self-driving cars, which somehow makes perfect sense when you think about everything else, we are navigating. And yes, we even end up talking about brushing our teeth in the shower. Because life is not just heavy. It is also weird, funny, and completely unpredictable. If you are taking care of a parent, or you know this season is coming, this episode will feel familiar. You are not the only one figuring it out as you go. Pour a glass and come sit with us.  Thanks for listening to Pour Decisions.
