We sit down with professional Supercross racer Kevin Moranz to unpack how he landed on Netflix’s Million Dollar Secret and what the game feels like when you do not know who has the money or what anyone’s secret agenda is. We talk through “Backpack Gate,” kill shots, clue strategy, and the behind-the-scenes reality TV rules that make paranoia feel logical.

• How Kevin gets connected to reality TV casting through social media work for sponsors
• How Million Dollar Secret works with boxes, a hidden million dollars, votes, and shifting power
• Why Season 1 knowledge can mislead you when Season 2 twists change the rules
• “Backpack Gate” and the 15-feet agenda that turns strategy into frustration
• Trophy room access, clue control, and how small behaviors snowball into house-wide suspicion
• Kill shots, double eliminations, and the pressure of being targeted early
• Filming logistics including a three-week shoot, sequestering, and no technology
• What Kevin would do differently and why staying open can be smarter than pulling away
• What Kevin hopes Netflix exposure leads to next and which competition shows he wants

We sit down with Chris Stemler of Trident Homes to hear how a giant concrete 3D printer is being used to build a real home in Topeka. We dig into why attainable housing is disappearing, how infill lots could help, and what it takes to earn trust with a construction method most people have never touched.
• Chris’s Topeka roots and the career path from consulting to real estate investing
• The Beacon renovation and how historic projects exposed the pace problem
• The moment concrete 3D printing clicked and the step-by-step path to permits
• How the wall system works with conduits, insulation, and closed cell foam
• Why ADA-friendly design gets easier when walls move in the code
• The real driver of housing costs: supply, inventory turnover, and missing mid-price new builds
• Infill housing, land banks, and public-private tools like down payment assistance grants
• Common objections like renovations and wall texture plus options for finishes
• Production goals per print crew and what scaling looks like in developments
“Trident Homes is just Trident Homes on Facebook” and “3Dhomebuilder.com is the website”
