From Where We Sit

What starts as a conversation about coffee and caffeine evolves into an honest discussion about addiction—the habits we struggle to break and the moments that force us to take a hard look at ourselves. Along the way, we share personal stories about smoking, substance abuse, family interventions, health scares, and the loved ones who often carry the weight when someone is struggling.

Are you hitting tipping fatigue? From food truck touchscreens to sky-high restaurant tabs, the system is passing the bill to the guest.

Ever feel like your brain is running a million miles an hour, or look back at the things you loved as a kid and wonder where that effortless joy went? In this episode of From Where We Sit, we start with some laughs about aging and "misfiring neurons," but quickly slide into a much deeper conversation about reclaiming the passions of our youth. We look at how life shifts when the things we love become "jobs," and look to the incredible journey of 2x world champion surfer John John Florence as an example of choosing flow state, lifestyle, and family over pure competition. From shooting hockey pucks against an apartment dumpster to chasing the perfect wave, we tackle the ultimate question: Is chasing the vibe the real definition of success?

In our debut episode of From Where We Sit, we're reminiscing on the dumb things we did as kids—starting with stealing candy—and the lessons that shaped our vibes. But as we move into the professional world of content creation, we tackle the huge grey area of influence vs. stealing. Whether you're writing, producing media, or making art, where is the line? Join us for a casual riff on nostalgia and the ethics of creative intellectual property

So who are we and what's our vibe? LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!
