Hanging Out with Nolan Hong

Dr. Lenny is back! He was originally on the podcast 5 years ago for Episode 14 which seems like a lifetime ago! Lenny has been eating carnivore which I heard about but had no idea what it was or why anyone would do it. So he explained it and shared his own life-changing experiences with it. If you’re not interested in the carnivore diet, lemme just say that according to Lenny, it means eating bacon and not eating vegetables! Now you’re intrigued huh? So was I lol.

Keao is a gifted animal communicator who helped us immensely a few months ago. Our dog Natto was exhibiting extremely unusual behaviors, so much so that we took her to the emergency vet. They couldn’t explain what was going on, her test results all came back normal and healthy. Luckily a friend referred us to Keao, and she helped us understand what Natto was trying to tell us and she’s been back to normal ever since (knock on wood).

In this episode, Keao tells us about her abilities to connect people with their pets, how she got them and how it all works. She also shares some experiences and connections throughout her career including being invited to do readings for celebrities at the Golden Globes and the Oscars.

Tessa is a veteran wedding planner and Joseph is an incredible wedding photographer, and together they launched “Unveiling Paradise” – a podcast focusing on destination weddings. They shared stories from working at countless weddings throughout the years, wedding trends they like, and how they each got into their careers (somehow their paths involved a PhD and culinary school?!). We also talked about how the wedding industry was hit during the COVID lockdowns, and how they got together to advocate for our community of wedding professionals.
