Sand & Pine didn’t start as a business plan—it started as a calling.
This episode explores what it really takes to build a family-run brand while protecting your marriage, faith, and identity along the way. Ingrid sits down with Dr. Maddie Humerick—physician, mom, and co-founder of Sand & Pine—to talk about entrepreneurship, creativity, and supporting growth without burning out what matters most.
Maddie shares how building Sand & Pine alongside her siblings became a creative outlet beyond medicine, how working with family reshaped her boundaries, and why entrepreneurship doesn’t have to replace who you are—it can expand it. From launching a women-led home décor brand to navigating impostor syndrome, faith, and family dynamics, this conversation offers an honest look at what building together really looks like behind the scenes.
You’ll hear reflections on:
Starting and scaling a women-led home décor brand
Working with siblings and spouses in business
Creating without burning out
Setting boundaries in demanding careers
Letting faith guide business and life decisions
This episode is for entrepreneurial couples and women builders who feel called to create—but don’t want success at the expense of their marriage, family, or faith. If you’re navigating growth, risk, or a new season of alignment, this conversation will meet you right where you are.

It’s the Christmas season in Coeur d’Alene—and today Travis & Ingrid dive into one of the most meaningful parts of the holidays: generosity. Whether it’s money, time, encouragement, or anonymous acts of kindness, giving has a way of transforming our hearts and strengthening our families.
In this episode, we break down what the Bible teaches about generosity—“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” and “Those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.” We share honest stories about parenting, teaching kids to give, practicing anonymous generosity, and building family traditions that shape character.
You’ll hear practical examples of how we give in our home, including simple crafts for teachers, empowering kids to bless others, serving neighbors, and making year-end giving decisions together as a couple. We also unpack the deeper spiritual side—why giving matters, why it feels good, and how God often meets us in the middle of hard seasons when generosity doesn’t feel easy.
If you’ve ever wanted to live with more intention, create meaningful habits around giving, or model generosity for your kids, this episode will inspire you to end the year strong.

In this episode, Ingrid sits down with stager, designer, and entrepreneur Tess King, co-owner of King & Co Staging, to unpack the real behind-the-scenes of design, staging, partnerships, and motherhood. From surviving wild Denver markets to running a business with her husband, Tess brings insight, honesty, and humor that every homeowner, agent, or aspiring designer needs to hear.
We cover:
• The 2026 design trends that are in (and the ones that desperately need to die)
• Why rug size, paint color, and layout matter more than anything else
• What people always get wrong when they DIY their staging
• How design trends differ between markets (Denver vs. inland PNW)
• Running a staging company with your spouse — what actually works
• Homeschooling, mom life, and the non-negotiables that keep her sane
• The role of faith and identity in navigating entrepreneurship
You’ll walk away with actionable design tips, staging insights, and a deeper look at what it means to build a business while raising a family — without losing yourself in the process.

n today’s episode of Yoked, Travis and Ingrid break down the biggest real estate headlines dominating the news — and what they actually mean for buyers, sellers, and investors right now.
From the government finally reopening after its longest shutdown to the buzz around rate portability, 50-year mortgages, and lower credit score minimums, we cut through the noise and give you the real-world impact behind the clickbait. If you’ve heard rumors about portable mortgages, loan term extensions, or looser lending standards, this episode explains what’s legit, what’s unlikely, and what could transform inventory and affordability in 2026 and beyond.
We also share the investor perspective: how these policies could thaw the frozen housing market, why major lenders may push back, and how creative finance strategies have already been offering solutions long before the headlines hit.
Plus — we talk fall in Coeur d’Alene, 1031 updates on our Sterne property, gratitude season, Osprey-and-fish God moments, and why it’s always a good time to buy real estate… as long as it’s your right deal.

What if one small property could change your entire financial future?
In this episode of Yoked Podcast, Travis and Ingrid break down “The Duplex That Built Our Portfolio” — the little 1950s duplex in downtown Littleton that became the foundation of their real estate empire.
They share how they bought it in 2015 for $325,000 using private money, renovated it while living on one side, refinanced into an FHA loan, and later leveraged a $135K HELOC to fund flips, rentals, and lending deals — turning one humble property into over $750,000 in long-term gains and a 6,000% ROI.
This episode dives deep into:
How to use a HELOC to build long-term wealth
Lessons from property management and house hacking
Knowing when to sell and recycle equity
Creative financing, refinancing, and leveraging sweat equity
Why starting small in real estate still works — even in today’s market

This week, Travis and Ingrid pull back the curtain on what it really means to be yoked—and why it’s the secret ingredient behind thriving marriages, businesses, and families.
Fresh off a weekend at Owners Club surrounded by hundreds of entrepreneurs, Travis shares the struggles and breakthroughs many are facing right now in real estate and business. Together, he and Ingrid unpack how being “yoked” goes far beyond faith—it’s about alignment in six key areas: personal growth, finances, career, health, relationships, and spirituality.
They share real-life stories from their 17 years of marriage and partnership, the lessons learned from their counselor (“you’re crossing every part of life together—get yoked!”), and why this idea has evolved into a new project designed to help couples build unity and purpose.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a spouse of one, or simply trying to strengthen your foundation, this conversation will help you visualize how to move in step toward a shared vision—side by side, like oxen pulling the same plow.
👉 Stick around for their most honest moment yet: what they’re each “yoked to” right now in this season of life.
