• Meet The Captain And Cruise Coach As They Map Florida’s Ports, Caribbean Itineraries, And Group Travel Perks

  Send us a textThe gangway drops, the music hits, and we kick off a cruise-driven, faith-forward journey from Port Canaveral with one goal: make your time at sea effortless, joyful, and unforgettable. We introduce our duo—Captain Jesse and the Cruise Coach—and dive right into how to choose the best Florida homeport, from Miami’s buzz to Tampa Bay’s Skyway views, and why that first decision shapes your itinerary, budget, and onboard rhythm.We unpack the big Caribbean question—East, West, or South—and explain what each route delivers, from Cozumel tacos and Cayman reefs to longer Southern escapes like Aruba. Then we zoom in on the ships themselves: Utopia, Icon, and Star of the Seas redefine “floating city” with aqua theaters, two-tier promenades, solariums, and spa sanctuaries that rival land resorts. You’ll hear smart, actionable tips: Boardwalk and Central Park balcony hacks on Oasis-class ships, the best ways to catch the AquaTheater (including from your own balcony), and complimentary breakfast windows that most guests miss.Competition is reshaping the industry for the better. We talk MSC’s rise, why dry docks matter, and how more than fifty new ships on order will push design, dining, and entertainment forward. Private islands are leveling up too—think Perfect Day at CocoCay and Carnival’s Celebration Key—making short sailings feel like full-on resort getaways. If you’re a first-timer, we demystify gratuities, inclusions, and what “turn off your brain” truly means once you step aboard.Most of all, we’re building community. Join our hosted group cruises to get concierge-style planning: curated excursions, dining guidance, show reservations, and flexible tracks for families, foodies, and adventurers. Link two ports in one vacation with Brightline rail, or bookend your sailing with Cocoa Beach sunsets and Orlando theme parks. We keep it service-first and faith-centered, closing with a prayer for safe voyages and lighter hearts.Subscribe, share with your cruise-curious friends, and tell us where you want to sail next.

• The Art of Heat: Exploring Tu Madres Hot Sauce with Founder Ricky

  Send us a textMeet Ricky, the familiar friendly face who's been pouring perfect pints at Intercoastal Brewery for years, now making waves in the local food scene with his artisanal hot sauce brand, Tu Madres. This episode takes you behind the label to discover how a casual conversation about selling homemade salsa transformed into a thriving local business with distribution across Brevard County.What started as a simple side hustle quickly evolved when Ricky's business partner Angelina stepped in to formalize the venture. Together, they've created a hot sauce that stands out in a crowded market by focusing on fresh, local ingredients without artificial preservatives or stabilizers. Their flagship carrot habanero sauce delivers a perfect balance of heat and flavor that enhances rather than overwhelms food—from morning eggs to seafood to tacos from the local Mexican market.The conversation delves into broader food trends as Ricky and host Jesse Hall discuss how consumer preferences are shifting toward cleaner ingredients and more authentic flavors. They explore the evolution of hot sauce culture from pure novelty "challenge" products to more sophisticated, flavor-forward offerings. The episode also reveals Ricky's upcoming projects, including a bacon-infused chipotle sauce debuting at the Bacon Beer Bash and his creative ventures beyond the culinary world—a found footage horror film he's producing with local talent in the EGAD district.Whether you're a hot sauce aficionado, a supporter of local businesses, or simply someone who appreciates the creative spirit of the Space Coast, this episode offers a flavorful journey through one entrepreneur's passion project.
