  • Childless by Choice | Christine Reed's Deliberate Decision to Not Have Kids

    Christine Reed recently underwent a procedure to have her tubes removed - a deliberate, permanent sterilization ensuring she would never have kids of her own. This week we talk about her thought process behind the decision and what factored into her choice - from her physical and mental health to her partner and their vision of their future to the current and future state of the world.

    There is no one right answer for everyone. Your health and your family planning should be in your own hands.

  • Defining Success, Values, Productivity, & Happiness with Sam Tarell of DivergentU

    Sam Tarell didn't have a conventional childhood. He was raised to pursue his curiosities and to be his own person - even if that meant he embraced being a bit of an outcast. His first business, Hoop Brothers, came about because his own college basketball aspirations were cut short and he didn't want the same to happen for his younger brother. After that business was successfully built, he set his sights on bigger things - DivergentU. A school to foster divergent thinking and the melding of creativity & entrepreneurship.

    Listen to this week's episode to learn more about success, values, productivity & happiness from Sam's perspective.

    So he moved into a van and hit the road. From that first foray away from the concrete jungle, he found more meaning and freedom than ever before.
