About Us

Co-Host, Professional Ranter, Student of Life

“I’ve worked, succeeded, failed, built, burned out, raised kids, and survived a brutal divorce — and that’s just the highlight reel. I’ve been a student of life (still am), a veteran, an entrepreneur, a corporate exec, and a single dad just trying to keep up. Most of it I did the hard way.”

Jacques isn’t trying to impress you. He’s just being honest — about work, parenting, failure, aging, tech, divorce, and everything in between. A veteran, exec, and dad, he’s done a lot… and most of it the hard way. That’s why Old Lazy Guys exists.

What started as daily conversations with a few trusted friends — politics, business, family, and how not to lose your mind — turned into a podcast built on truth: unfiltered, imperfect, and occasionally useful. Jacques isn’t aiming to be a thought leader. He just wants to say the things no one else will, learn out loud, and maybe help someone else dodge the same messes.

“At this stage in life, I don’t want a new job or another career. I left the corporate world for a reason. What I want are meaningful conversations. I want to laugh with people I respect, share what I’ve learned (usually the hard way), and maybe say something that helps someone else get through the day.”

He believes when you stop learning, you die. And when you stop being honest? Nobody listens.

And besides, calling Frank way too early every morning to rant about whatever’s broken — in the world, at work, or in his own head — has to stop. So maybe this will help.

If that sounds like your kind of mess, welcome to Old Lazy Guys. Sign up quick. The clock’s ticking.

Co-Host, Life Simplifier, Daily Contrarian 

Frank didn’t plan on being the voice of reason — or chaos. That just depends on the topic. One minute he’s breaking down how to simplify your life, the next he’s ranting about the latest tech “innovation” that somehow made everything worse. He and Jacques have been swapping stories, life lessons, and unfiltered commentary for years — now they’re just hitting record.

Frank’s been around the block: startups that soared and stalled, corporate gigs that paid well but drained the soul, raising kids, navigating marriage, rebuilding after the hard stuff, and learning how to laugh through all of it. He’s led teams, launched products, burned out, bounced back, and still finds time to fix the Wi-Fi and remind you that “Have you tried turning it off and on again?” is eternal wisdom.

He’s not interested in guru talk or polished takes. He’s here to say, “Yeah, that’s hard — here’s what helped. And here’s what didn’t, so maybe skip that part.”

What makes Frank a perfect fit for Jacques isn’t that they’re opposites — it’s that they take turns. Sometimes Frank’s the calm, measured voice. Sometimes he’s the one throwing the grenade. It depends on the day, the topic, and the caffeine level. What stays constant is mutual respect, a shared allergy to BS, and a belief that life’s too short not to call things like they are.

Old Lazy Guys isn’t about being lazy. It’s about being honest — with yourself, with each other, and with anyone else who’s tired of pretending everything’s fine. If that sounds like your kind of conversation, Frank’s already pulled up a chair.
