#68 - Vending Machines and Midlife Crisis (and/or awakenings)

In this laid-back and personal episode of the Fairview Social Podcast, Tim and Jeems recap a night out at Zanies in Nashville before diving into everything going on in their lives—from launching a new business to navigating midlife changes. The conversation blends humor with real-life decision making as they talk about starting Holliswood Vending, a new venture built around AI-powered vending machines, and why having the right locations makes it a no-brainer opportunity. 

They also discuss an upcoming home renovation that’s about to throw their entire routine into chaos, along with the financial realities of balancing big life decisions—like taking on a remodel while trying to launch a business at the same time. The episode gives a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually feels like to take a “safe” risk and try to build something of your own without completely blowing up your stability. 

Beyond business, the conversation turns into a deeper reflection on midlife, where Jeems shares how this stage feels less like a crisis and more like an awakening—rediscovering identity, taking new risks, and finally focusing on personal growth after years of raising kids and putting others first. Tim contrasts that with his own mindset of always needing to stay busy, build, and create. 

It’s a mix of humor, real talk, business ideas, and life perspective—covering everything from comedy shows and family to entrepreneurship and what it really means to build a life in your 40s.
