Life Goes On

Episode Description

In this episode, E chats with Jerimy, a world traveler and educator. Though they’ve never met in person, their conversations have spanned multiple continents.

 The 21 moves through travel, perspective, pet peeves, and the small things that reveal how someone sees the world.

What has travel taught you?

The conversation shifts into perspective. Not just where you’ve been, but how it’s shaped how you think, how you move, and how you see people.

Because at some point, it stops being about the destination.

The conversation shifts into identity, growth, and how experience shapes the way we move through the world. Because sometimes it’s not just about where you go… it’s about who you become along the way.

• The idea that your environment can shape your value
• A conversation about becoming the next generation of elders
• What freedom actually looks like beyond the surface

If your life right now were a chapter in a book… what would it be called?

Episode Title

What If You Could Never Lose

Episode Description

This time, E sits down with Jones. A friend who’s basically a brother. The kind of person who’s down to shenan and shenan again.

The 21 starts light. Petty peeves. Lottery signs. Warm-towel luxury. A full 2002 velour comeback. Dream concerts and DJ names.

But somewhere between laughter and honesty, the conversation shifts.

Imposter syndrome. Learning to actually receive “good job.” The burden of being aware. The leash we think is still there long after it’s gone.

Then comes The One.

If you knew you could never lose… who would you become?

Is the glass ceiling really a stop sign? Or is it a lesson waiting to be learned?

This episode feels like joking around and then accidentally unlocking a life reframe.

What You’ll Hear

• Why awareness can feel like both a gift and a burden
• The real reason “good job” hits different
• Jones’ non-super superpower
• A new perspective on glass ceilings
• What changes when you stop framing lessons as losses

Legacy, Laughter, and 20+ Years of Friendship

Episode Description

It only made sense that the first guest of Season 2 would be someone E's  known  for over two decades.

In this episode, E sits down with a longtime friend and lets the format do what it’s supposed to do. The 21 brings out stories, unexpected answers, and plenty of laughs that only happen when people actually know each other.

Then comes The One.

The conversation shifts into legacy. Not the big public version people perform, but the personal one. What it means. Who it’s really for. And whether we’re building it intentionally or discovering it as we go.

This episode feels like catching up and realizing the conversation got deeper without anyone announcing it.

What You’ll Hear

• What 20+ years of friendship sounds like
• The fun and chaos of The 21
• How we define legacy
• What we actually hope to leave behind
•

In (A Refreshing) Conversation with E

Episode Description

Season 2 Opener

It was supposed to be a short break.
It turned into almost seven years.

In this opening episode, E returns to the mic and explains what actually kept the podcast from coming back sooner. Not the polite answers. The real one: fear, uncertainty, overthinking, wanting things to be perfect, and waiting to have life figured out before speaking again.

A lot has changed. Leaving a stable career. Choosing creativity. Making space for joy. And realizing that even as an introvert, she missed conversation more than she expected.

Season 2 is built around one idea: becoming.

Not experts. Not finished stories. Just people in motion.

This season shifts away from interviews and into something looser and more human. Each guest will move through 21 unexpected questions followed by “The One,” a deeper topic that naturally grows out of the conversation. Guests won’t know the questions ahead of time, which means answers stay honest and reactions stay real.

This episode is the reset.
A reintroduction.
And an invitation back into the conversation.

What You’ll Hear

• Why the podcast paused for years
• What finally brought it back
• The difference between knowing and becoming
• The pressure to have something to say vs. creating space to feel something
• The new format for Season 2

You're back into the single life dropped into a world of joyous possibilities and excitement but also an endless space of “dating” apps, profiles, and first dates. 🤦🏾‍♂️.

In this episode, E and King discuss the modern dating culture and how the game has changed due to the evolution of technology. 

Is meet-cute still a possibility, a reality, in today’s dating culture or have first encounters been restricted to our screen? 

How long should you wait before you jump back into the dating game?

Stop asking about a zodiac sign!
