As much as we all want to be a winner all day every day, there are times where we just have to admit defeat (and plot for a comeback). We don't necessarily think losing is a bad thing though, as we can turn that sense of bitterness into a motivation to improve. Losing does stink, but is there such thing as losing graciously? And do we want to be one?

Let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we? What were our first impressions of each other like and how have those changed since? We've been told that making a great first impression is important, so how much effort do you take into it? And on the flip side, how much does someone's first impression affect the way you think about them?

What makes you get up everyday? Some people want to be rich, some are working towards a job promotion, and some may be living to achieve their dreams of becoming an NBA player (sorry, we're in the thick of the NBA Finals now...). What we live for might change as we go through different phases in life so we sit down to discuss what keeps us going every single day. It doesn't always have to be a grand life goal, but at least it gives us something to strive for!

We always hear that adulting is hard, so today we will peel off these endless layers of the very definition of adulting and discuss when we feel like we've successfully done that and where we fall short. 

Do tough life challenges force one to grow up? How did our mentality change when we were in our 20vs. vs our 30s? Come on in and give it a listen!

Pressure is inevitably a part of our day to day lives (ugh) and it can come from different places. Sometimes it is self imposed, like you feel as if you need to fulfill every obligation life throws at you. Other times it comes from those around us, manager who demands a lot from you, parents who want you to get married, like, tomorrow. How do we deal with pressure? Is pressure a good thing or a bad thing? How do we navigate through these uncomfortable feelings of overcoming pressure? Let's figure it out together.

And the topic of l.o.v.e continues! This time we learn about our love languages and discuss the importance of knowing what our love language is in our daily lives. Do YOU know what yours is? If you do, do you find that to be helpful in building relationships with the people around you?

Ever thought of how despite SO many books and articles about relationships have been written to this day, a lot of us would still struggle to maintain them sometimes? That's because human hearts are very... special. To those of you who may have recently started a relationship, first of all - CONGRATS. Listen on as Dan, Thomas and Mia try their best to give advice here; we hope you get some useful nuggets!

We're BAAACK! What was originally intended to be a short break turned out to be a much longer one, and for that we apologize, but we're excited to start another season of FND!

We actually recorded this episode quite a while back, so long ago that Tom Brady had announcement his retirement AND came out of retirement but we think the underlying topic of putting celebrities/public figured on a moral pedestal is still relevant anyway. 

Hope you enjoy, tell us what you think and if you have topic suggestions!

As we close another year, let's take some time to look back and reflect on the things that happened this year. Things haven't been so easy recently and that might be an understatement to some people, but we hope you'd be able to find happiness and moments of gratitude in your day to day. If this hasn't been your year, that's okay, we can always do better moving forward! Quick PSA: we're taking a quick break and will be back next season with a brand new look! Be well and we'll be back in your lives soon :)
