A Note from That KEVIN - 02/07/26
A Note From That Kevin
Audio By Carbonatix
There are moments in the calendar that feel ordinary—until you realize later they were quietly shaping something meaningful.
This weekend feels like one of those moments.
If you’ve been walking through winter wishing life would slow down just enough to let you catch your breath, this week’s That Passport Life stories were created with you in mind.
We continue our Olympic journey with a piece that may be my favorite so far: Venice — Stillness in a World That Won’t Slow Down. In a season obsessed with speed, Venice reminds us that beauty still lives in quiet places, if we’re willing to look.
You can read it here:
Venice: Stillness in a World That Won’t Slow Down
Our latest podcasts carry that same spirit—mixing inspiration, humor, and practical insight as we talk Italy, Olympic travel, aviation thrills, winter wonder, and even a little Times Square magic.
Give them a listen:
Travel Tuesday - February 3, 2026: Italy, Olympics, and Jet Thrills
Fun Friday - January 30, 2026: Snow, Eagles, and Times Square Magic
And now, from my heart to yours, let me say this plainly.
If you have ever dreamed of seeing Italy “someday”…
If you’ve ever promised yourself “one day we’ll go”…
If you’ve ever looked at photos of Capri, Positano, Rome, and the Amalfi Coast and thought, “I wish we could do that”…
This is your moment.
Our Italy 2026 journey is filling quickly. The seats are limited. The experience will be unforgettable. The friendships, memories, sunsets, meals, and laughter we’ll share can’t be replicated later.
There is no “later” version of this trip.
There is only now.
Visit Italy2026.info, reserve your place, and give yourself the gift of a memory that will last the rest of your life. Don’t let this become another beautiful story you only watched from the sidelines.
On a lighter—and tastier—note, I’m pretty proud to tell you that CestSiBon.org is featuring one of my recipes this weekend: my Super Bowl chili. Yes, I cooked it. Yes, it’s legit. And yes, you’ll want to try it.
Find it here:
Music fans, we are officially in Valentine’s mode at The TEA Collective. Romance, connection, and heart are in the air, and our latest release is the perfect soundtrack for it. If you haven’t yet, give it a listen and save it to your playlist.
Start here:
You Said It First (Pre-Album Release)
On television this weekend, we’re bringing you what you’ve come to expect: breaking news, thoughtful analysis, plenty of sketch comedy, and another great installment of #NewMusicSpotlight. It’s smart, it’s fun, and it’s built for people who still care about substance and laughter in the same hour.
And finally—this weekend, as the Olympic Winter Games officially get underway—let’s all take a moment to cheer on Team USA. These athletes have given years of their lives for moments that last minutes. Let’s honor that commitment with our support, our pride, and our prayers.
So wherever you are this weekend—on the couch with chili, listening to music, watching the show, planning your next trip, or dreaming a little bigger than usual—thank you for letting me be part of your journey.
Let’s keep moving forward together.
With gratitude,
—That KEVIN
