Episode 7: No Tumbleweeds: Two Outsiders on What Texas Really Is ft. Jordan Webb

⚠️ A Note Before You Press Play Lawson is taking an unplanned week off due to some technical difficulties on our recording app. We will have her back next episode. Bear with us on the audio and video quality as this interview was recorded a few months back. We are fixing it as we go. ☕

About This Episode

Don flies solo this week and brings in a very familiar face. Jordan Webb, IT consultant and Don's college friend of over a decade, joins for a candid conversation about what Texas looks like through the eyes of people who were not born and raised here.

From Jordan's first work trip to Austin to Don's wide eyed arrival in San Antonio expecting tumbleweeds and cowboys, this episode is a love letter to the state that keeps pulling people in from everywhere else. They talk culture, city vibes, Texas exceptionalism, and the big question nobody wants to answer out loud: is Texas still Texas when everybody from California and New York keeps moving in?

No Lawson this week. But plenty of tea. ☕🤠
