Welcome to Episode 1 of Manic Joy, a podcast about life, love, and uncertainty.

Dave and Reese start by sharing the experiences that shaped who they are, where they think they’d be if life hadn’t gone the way it did, and the moment Reese would absolutely redo at age 13 (the lesson is simple: lock the door).

Then it’s listener question time. They talk about focusing on what you can control, how parenting changes your whole operating system, the people they’d have lunch with if they could, and why communication is the one thing relationships can’t skip.

Thanks for being here. Leave a review if you enjoyed it, and send in questions for the next episode.

And remember: life is a group project. Be kind to each other.
