In Episode 5 of Anything & Everything with Matt Reyna, world-renowned tattoo artist Shane Estillore shares one of the most personal and extraordinary chapters of his life: his journey into meditation, spirituality, consciousness, and what he believes was a profound spiritual awakening.

After reaching a point where depression and emotional turmoil were consuming his life, Shane knew something had to change. Despite achieving success and enjoying a lifestyle many people dream about, he was still struggling internally.

Are the San Antonio Spurs already showing signs of trouble? Is Mitch Johnson the right coach to lead Victor Wembanyama and this young roster to an NBA championship?

On this episode of Anything & Everything with Matt Reyna, Matt welcomes back Johnny "Skies" Guzman III and the original villain, Drew Ski, for a heated, hilarious, and brutally honest debate about the San Antonio Spurs following their Game 1 loss.

Nobody wanted to give him a chance after prison. So he created his own opportunity.

In Episode 4 of Anything & Everything with Matt Reyna, world-renowned tattoo artist Shane Estillore shares how he went from being rejected by tattoo shops to developing his craft, finding success in San Antonio, and eventually working with celebrities and other high-profile clients.

After spending years behind bars developing his tattooing skills, Shane expected his talent to open doors. Instead, he discovered that the tattoo industry wasn't eager to welcome someone with his background.

But rather than give up, Shane...

After spending much of his youth in and out of prison, Shane Estillore faced a choice that would change his life forever: continue down a path that could lead to life behind bars or death in the streets, or walk away and discover what the world had to offer.

What happens when you finally achieve everything you thought would make you happy… but still feel empty?

In Part 2 of his conversation on Anything & Everything with Matt Reyna, world-renowned tattoo artist Shane Estillore opens up about one of the darkest periods of his life. Despite achieving financial success, recognition, and the lifestyle he once dreamed of, Shane found himself struggling with severe depression and unresolved childhood trauma.

The conversation then ta...

From growing up surrounded by gang violence in Arizona to becoming a world-renowned tattoo artist who has worked with NFL players, NBA players, celebrities, and influencers, Shane Estillore has lived a life most people couldn't imagine.

In Episode 1 of this powerful conversation on Anything & Everything with Matt Reyna, Shane opens up about his troubled childhood, being arrested at just 13 years old, spending his teenage years incarcerated, and the experiences that shaped the man he is today.

But this conversation goes far beyond prison and tattoos.

What happens after you completely change your life? You start dreaming bigger.

In Part 5, the final chapter of my conversation with Vanessa Maldonado on Anything & Everything with Matt Reyna, we look ahead at what's next for Vanessa after her journey through sobriety, fitness, personal growth, and rebuilding her real estate career.

Vanessa shares her goals for the future, including training for her first half marathon, growing her real estate business, investing in rental properties, and eventually stepping into a mentorship role to help other agents succeed.

We also discuss the importance of pursuing...

What happens when you walk away from success, bet on yourself, and everything starts falling apart?

In Part 4 of Anything & Everything with Matt Reyna, Vanessa Maldonado shares one of the most difficult chapters of her life. After spending three successful years on a real estate team and earning more money than ever before, Vanessa made the decision to leave and build something of her own.

But the transition wasn't easy.

Without the clients and leads she had grown accustomed to, Vanessa found herself rebuilding her real estate business from the ground up. In 2023...

What does it take to completely transform your body, mindset, and lifestyle?

In Part 3 of Anything & Everything with Matt Reyna, Vanessa Maldonado opens up about her incredible transformation, going from 155 pounds to 111 pounds while approaching three years of sobriety. But as Vanessa explains, the biggest transformation wasn't just physical. It was the decision to become a different version of herself.

We discuss the moment Vanessa realized alcohol was holding her back from the person she wanted to become, how she and her longtime partner made the decision to quit drinking together, and why this attempt...

What happens when you finally accept that the life you’re living no longer matches the person you want to become?

In Part 2 of my conversation with Vanessa Maldonado, we talk about two major turning points in her life: walking away from a 10-year career in multifamily to bet on herself in real estate, and eventually making the decision to give up alcohol for good.

Vanessa opens up about her relationship with drinking, repeatedly going months without alcohol to prove she was still in control, and then falling back into the same cycle once she co...

Before real estate, Vanessa Maldonado was still trying to figure out where life was taking her. In Part 1 of our conversation, Vanessa takes us back to her upbringing in San Antonio, the challenges that shaped her early years, losing her father shortly after high school, her experience with college, and the jobs she worked before eventually finding her way into real estate.

Vanessa and I also go back to the beginning of our friendship and our early days as Realtors, when neither of us had everything figured out. It’s an honest conversation about growing up, adapting to...

Are we really alone in the universe? Matt Reyna and Zach go all-in on aliens, UFOs, UAPs, government secrecy, Project Blue Beam, and the possibility that intelligent life has been visiting Earth for much longer than we realize. But this conversation gets especially interesting when Zach reveals that he actually witnessed unexplained lights over the Pacific Ocean — alongside several other people — and recorded them on video.

🎙️ In this episode:
• Could another major event ever bring the entire world together?
• The Project Blue Beam conspiracy theory
• Could a fake alien invasion ever be staged?
• Theories about al...

What does the worst day of Zach’s life look like? Losing a pair of Versace sunglasses in the river, losing a shoe, nearly fighting a group of strangers, jumping off a bridge, getting the wind knocked out of him, having a beach ball thrown out of a bus — and somehow ending the night with a Pizza Hut dine-and-dash. Matt Reyna and Zach look back at some of the dumbest and funniest decisions they made when they were younger, including one unforgettable trip to the Comal River and another road trip to Kickapoo that ended with the entire crew line...

How much does your phone actually know about you? Matt Reyna and Zach dive into one of their wildest conversations yet — debating whether our phones are always listening, why ads sometimes seem to know what we're thinking, surveillance, psyops, conspiracy theories, and how difficult it has become to know what information to trust. Then, in classic Anything & Everything fashion, the conversation completely shifts into Kings of Leon, unforgettable concerts, and an old traffic-stop story that nearly ruined the night.

🎙️ In this episode:
• Are our phones constantly listening to us?
• How much access do phone companies actually ha...

Is AI actually going to make our lives easier — or are we heading toward a future where nobody has a job and we can't even tell what's real anymore? Matt Reyna and Zach continue their conversation with a hilarious but surprisingly serious dive into artificial intelligence, robot relationships, AI taking over jobs, deepfakes, social media, and what life could look like sooner than we think.

🎙️ In this episode:
• Why technology somehow keeps making simple things more complicated
• Streaming services, subscriptions, and the struggle just to watch a game
• Whether AI will improve our lives or eventually...

What happens when your stolen trailer suddenly appears for sale on OfferUp in your own neighborhood? Matt Reyna is joined once again by longtime friend Zach for another completely unfiltered conversation covering everything from why modern life somehow keeps getting more complicated to old-school internet prank calls, AI spam calls, and one unbelievable real-life mission to recover a stolen trailer.

🎙️ In this episode:
• Why everything seems more complicated despite better technology
• The ridiculous number of subscriptions needed just to watch football
• NFL blackouts and the frustration of modern streaming
• AI spam calls, spoofed phone numbers...

What happens when artificial intelligence stops feeling like a tool and starts behaving more like something independent? Matt Reyna and Zach continue their conversation about the future of AI, whether machines could ever become a competing species, humanoid robots, virtual worlds, Ready Player One, Black Mirror, and how radically different life could become within our lifetime. Then, as usual, the conversation takes a completely unexpected turn into wormholes, time travel, Sixth Street, and another ridiculous story from Matt and Zach’s early 20s.

🎙️ In this episode:
• The debate over reports of AI models attempting to copy or preser...

Can changing the way you think actually change your life?

In Part 5 with Christian and Jesse Moreno, the conversation picks up with a simple question: Do things happen for a reason, or do we give meaning to things based on how we interpret them?

The guys get into positive thinking, free will, “thoughts become things,” manifestation and why simply wanting something isn't enough. Your thoughts may create the blueprint — but eventually, you have to meet life halfway and actually do the work.

From there, the conversation becomes much more person...

What if the world around us isn't exactly what we think it is?

Part 4 with Christian and Jesse Moreno starts with hilarious memories of playing GTA — but somehow turns into one of the deepest conversations of the episode.

The guys dive into simulation theory, consciousness, God, free will and whether reality could exist inside some larger system. They debate whether we'd even recognize the signs if we were living inside a simulation, whether the people around us could theoretically be “NPCs,” and whether discovering the truth would actually make our lives better — or complete...

Some stories stick with you forever.

In Part 3 with Christian and Jesse Moreno, the conversation goes from a serious debate about mental illness and criminal responsibility into the celebrity deaths and true-crime stories that our generation still talks about decades later.

The guys remember exactly where they were when they learned Kobe Bryant had died, growing up with Selena's death as part of San Antonio and Texas culture, and why Yolanda Saldívar remains one of the most hated names in the Latino community.

Then Matt breaks down the story he's followed surrounding

We have better TVs than ever before — but are we actually getting the picture quality we're paying for?

In Part 2 with Christian and Jesse Moreno, the guys debate whether expensive TVs are even worth buying in the streaming era, paying extra for higher-resolution content, physical media vs. streaming, and something we've almost completely accepted without thinking about it: we don't really own our movies or music anymore.

Then the conversation goes completely off the rails 😂 — from old-school parking lot speaker scams to a guy allegedly pretending to be a professional football player online, celebri...

Is Grand Theft Auto VI about to become more than just another video game?

In Episode 1 with longtime friends Christian and Jesse Moreno, Matt takes it all the way back to friendships that started in elementary school, South San Antonio, boxing watch parties and memories spanning decades — before the conversation turns toward one of the most anticipated video games ever: GTA 6.

The guys debate whether GTA 6 could fundamentally change gaming culture, create entirely new opportunities for online creators, push current consoles to their limits and even become such a massive release that millions of...

What happens when you stop hiding the things you're struggling with?

In Episode 6 with Eugene Morales, the conversation gets deep into faith, men's mental health, anxiety, vulnerability and the ways men often cope without ever addressing what's actually happening underneath. Eugene opens up about realizing he'd spent much of his life in a constant fight-or-flight state — and how understanding his past helped him finally recognize why he always felt like he needed to stay ten steps ahead. 

Matt and Eugene also have an open conversation about their relationships with alcohol, using drinking as a coping mec...

Sometimes the biggest change in your life begins when you finally ask yourself one question: “Am I happy with what I have right now?” Matt Reyna and Eugene Morales talk about growing up with a chip on their shoulder, leaving behind a victim mentality, becoming more mature as men, developing a positive mindset, finding faith, and learning that nothing changes until you actually take action. 

The conversation also goes back to Matt and Eugene’s younger years, their early experiences with entrepreneurship and sales, and one unforgettable San Antonio Fiesta story that somehow helped create friends...

Eugene Morales is back for Part 3, and this conversation goes even deeper into the environment, decisions and people that shaped the person he eventually became.

We pick up talking about what poverty actually looked like for Eugene growing up on San Antonio’s West Side.

When Eugene shows homes today and hears kids complain that a bedroom or closet isn’t big enough, it sometimes takes him right back to his childhood — when his family lived in spaces where one room could serve as the bedroom, living room and kitchen.

From there, Eugene and Ma...

Eugene Morales is back for Part 2, and this conversation takes us even deeper into the stories that shaped who he became.

We start by going back to the old Gold’s Gym days, when Eugene, Zach and the rest of the crew were young salesmen trying just about anything to generate leads.

Before social media marketing was what it is today, they were doing what Gold’s called “guerrilla marketing” — walking into local businesses, setting up trade-outs, giving away gym memberships and finding creative ways to get people through the doors.

And sometimes they got a...

Eugene Morales joins me for Part 1 of a conversation that's been more than a decade in the making.

Eugene was one of my earliest partners when we worked together at Armadillo Homes, one of my early mentors in real estate, and ultimately became one of my closest friends. What's crazy is that Eugene was also there when I first talked about wanting to start a podcast — and we actually recorded a rough test episode together more than a decade ago.

Now everything comes full circle as Eugene finally joins me on Anything & Everything.

We...

Rob Menn is back for the fifth and final part of our conversation, and we're ending this one with some serious fight debates.

We start by talking about investing based on cultural trends, whether the massive amount of money pouring into artificial intelligence is creating an AI bubble, and how recognizing where society is heading could potentially create investment opportunities.

Then we get into Rob's world: fighting.

We debate the greatest UFC fighters of all time, Anderson Silva vs. Jon Jones, whether wrestling is scored too heavily in MMA, and whether AI could...

Success can look completely different as you get older. In Part 5 with Eugene Morales, we look back at the journey through sales, new home construction, real estate and entrepreneurship — and how those experiences eventually became about something much bigger than making money.

Eugene opens up about faith becoming the most important part of his life, experiencing a personal breakdown, becoming sober, going to therapy and learning to surrender the things he couldn't control. Matt and Eugene also discuss their own struggles with alcohol, what it means to mature as a man, and realizing that the way you li...

Rob Menn is back for Part 3, and this conversation starts with one simple question: What are the greatest movies of the 80s and 90s?

From Bloodsport, Rocky and First Blood to Terminator 2, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Batman, The Crow and The Shawshank Redemption, Matt and Rob revisit the movies they grew up watching and debate which ones still hold up today.

They also revisit The Odyssey and compare it against movies like 300, Troy, Braveheart and Gladiator before getting into Batman, Joker, why people don't go to movie theaters like they used to, and...

Rob Menn is back for Part 2, and we're going full movie and superhero nerd mode.

We start by breaking down The Odyssey — what worked, what didn't, the massive cast, and whether the movie actually lived up to the hype. From there, the conversation turns into why lesser-known actors sometimes make movies more believable, the greatest action movies ever made, Batman, Superman, Zack Snyder, James Gunn, Man of Steel, Henry Cavill, and our picks for the greatest superheroes of all time.

🎙️ In this episode:

Rob Menn joins Matt Reyna for Part 1 of a conversation that goes everywhere — from debating whether Jonah Hill can actually fight to jiu-jitsu, Bruce Lee, Michael Jai White, Joe Rogan, Wesley Snipes, Van Damme, classic cartoons, comic books, Spawn and growing up during one of the best eras of pop culture.

What starts as a fight debate quickly turns into a nostalgic trip through the 80s and 90s as Rob talks about the cartoons, comics and characters that shaped his childhood — and how that eventually inspired his own love for drawing and art.
