What a pleasure it is to bring you all Dr. Ben Michaelis, who we think of as ⅓ management coach, ⅓ therapist, and ⅓ couples counselor (at least in our case). We've been seeing this guy—together!—for five-ish years, and he's helped us to navigate much in our lives, professional and personal. Speaking of navigating, we're kicking-off the episode by answering an age-old question: "What sort of thank-you gift do I get my snake-sitter?!"

Oooh, boy, did we get a good gifting request: "Thank you for your friend who fed your pet snake weekly for 6 weeks. They like Phish." Here's where we landed: Fishman Donut Round Jigsaw Puzzle, Island Bamboo spoon sets and salt cellars, Na Nin incense cones, Boy Smells Kush candle, Debbie Carlos Curl Pipe (from Tetra), Edie Parker Flower stash case, Areaware Snake Block, Lorien Stern snake wall-hanging ceramic or plush snake sculpture (or bucket hat or hoodie), Ferm Living Mr. Snake cushion or fruiticana snake, Chen Chen and Kai Williams serpent lighter keychain, and Willa Heart snake prints and placemats.

Here's that snake opening a door video you were hoping for.
