    Welcome to another episode of Rock Talk: From the Ground Up. I’m your host and co-owner of Texas Rock Milling, Trey McCarty. In this podcast, we dig deep into the foundations of growth, creativity, and the opportunity of South Texas. Our goal, as always, is to hear from inspiring people who are shaping the future of San Antonio from the ground up.

    When disaster strikes and threatens to damage your property, you need someone who can respond fast—whether the emergency is located in your home or business.

    Joining me for today’s conversation is a team that responds 24/7 to people’s worst days. Restoration 1 is a mitigation company that operates across multiple Texas cities, addressing the aftermath of floods, fires, water leaks, mold, and everything in between. They work in some of the most challenging spaces, from individual homes to entire neighborhoods that have been impacted by a disaster.

    In this episode, you’ll hear why it’s crucial to build a network of trusted business relationships in this line of work, what it’s like to respond to different kinds of disasters, actions you as a property owner should take at the first signs of trouble, and much more.

    Bareback riding may only last eight seconds, but the work behind it lasts a lifetime.

    In this episode, I sit down with two of the best bareback riders in the world: 2019 PRCA World Champion Clayton Biglow and Calgary Stampede winner RC Landingham.

    Together they break down what the average fan never sees behind the ride. From the injuries and mental battles to the discipline required to stay competitive year after year, this conversation explores what it really takes to build a life in rodeo. Clayton and RC share the realities of life on the road, the evolution of rodeo athletes, and the lessons pain and failure have taught them along the way.

    I think there's something for all of us in what they have to share.

    Welcome to another episode of Rock Talk: From the Ground Up. I’m your host and co-owner of Texas Rock Milling, Trey McCarty.

    In this podcast, we dig deep into the foundations of growth, creativity, and the opportunity of South Texas. Our goal, as always, is to hear from inspiring people who are shaping the future of San Antonio from the ground up.

    My guest today is someone who initially made his mark in Texas and is now doing the same out west. Jack Lopez started his journey in San Antonio, earning an Environmental Design Degree focused in Architecture/Construction from Texas A&M University. He would go on to become the President of Incore Inc., working on major real estate and construction projects all over Texas.

    These days, Jack is carving out new ground in Park City, Utah with his visionary project Keetley Ridge, a boutique luxury community situated five minutes from Deer Valley East Village—a premier destination for ski enthusiasts. Jack’s project features homes as well as a future retail center that will span 37,200 square feet.

    In this episode, you’ll discover some of the challenges of working in the Texas development market, the differences between building in the Hill Country and the mountains of Utah, the importance of living connected to the land, and much more.
