Kids These Days... amiright?! Today is a nostalgic walk down memory lane comparing and contrasting the difference in the world we grew up in and the one kids today are growing up in.

And in similar fashion, kids today are being raised in a world so dramatically different than the one we knew.

We hope you enjoy this conversations!

There is always a lot of focus on resolutions and goals at the first of the year. We all talk about starting strong, but isn't it more important how you finish?

We recently spent an entire day without screens and it really highlighted how unhealthy and unproductive our addiction to tech and devices is. We went into the day with anxiety around it and we ended up having such a wonderful day! In fact, we loved it so much that we want to make this a part of our monthly routine.

In this week's episode we're laughing about each other's little quirks, habits, and pet peeves in a light-hearted, affectionate way.

Sherri and I sat down with my mom before we left Pueblo, Colorado recently and asked her advice on a wide range of topics. We talk relationships and parenting, what to do if you are stuck in a bad situation, money, and SO much more.

It's been more than 2 months since our last podcast. The past 2 months have been a lot. My (Adam's) mom was diagnosed with a late stage, very aggressive and rare form of cancer and we've been dealing with all of the things that go along with that. I had the chance to go down and spend Mother's Day weekend with mom in Colorado and while I was there I wanted to record some of our conversations. The conversation in this episode is focused on one of the main life messages my mom has shared. I've heard this countless times and it's impacted my life and the life of many others.

I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I enjoyed recording this with my mom.

As we roadtrip from New Orleans to Austin, we hit record and see where the conversation takes us! These are always so fun to record because topics are so incredibly random.

January is National Soup Month, so it only made sense to do a soup episode! We're talking about soups we love, soups we don't care for, and how Adam eats tomato soup completely wrong.  

As people, we are always growing, changing, and evolving as we have new experiences, meet new people, and discover new things. This growth can be an important part of life and helps us become a more true representation of who we truly are. In today's podcast episode, we're talking about the importance of humility in this journey, how we've done it wrong, and what our personal evolution process has looked like over the past few years.

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a real part of winters in Alaska. The short, cold days are the perfect breeding ground for depression and a lack of motivation.
