In this episode of Sunday Afternoon Smokes, Chris sits down with local attorney Trey Ingram of Holliday Ingram Real Estate Law for a wide-ranging conversation about family, faith, entrepreneurship, adoption, and building a meaningful life in a rapidly changing world.

Trey shares the story behind Holliday Ingram Real Estate Law, why he walked away from the traditional big-firm path, and how he and his law partner built a people-first business culture focused on relationships over billable hours. The conversation also dives deep into fatherhood, raising nine children, foster care, adoption, and the lessons Trey and his wife learned through their journey serving vulnerable children both locally and abroad.

Chris and Trey also explore:

  • The modern impact of AI and technology

  • Cigars, coffee, and slowing down for conversation

  • Homeschooling and raising kids outdoors

  • Farming, cows, and life outside the city

  • Why children are a blessing, not a burden

  • The emotional reality of parenting and watching kids grow up

  • Entrepreneurship, law, and creating a healthier work-life balance

  • Faith, purpose, and building a legacy that lasts beyond money or career success


  • Grab a cigar, pour a cup of coffee, and settle in for one of the most thoughtful and heartfelt conversations yet inside the Sunday Afternoon Smokes Lounge.
