Can we ask you a question? Do you get distracted? If you answered "No" you are a liar and we no longer respect you. If you answered "Yes" then fear not, friend—you're in good company! Today Kyle & Noah are back with a classic discussion episode dishing on all the things that distract them and why. We're not sure how any of this will be helpful to you, but that part isn't in our job description, so you're on your own, sucka! Good luck and try not to get distracted during the episode, okay? That'd be WAY too ironic...

Coming to the end of our Mental Health series, Kyle & Noah close out the series with their individual reflections on the journey, along with viewer responses/questions.

Thank you for your stories and for engaging with us; your strength and transparency is inspiring.

Oh, our sweet goodness! Today we have a brand new episode of Humming Fools with Northwest Arkansas Designer & Illustrator, Will Echols. Listen and learn about all the terrible and equally hilarious things Will has gone through in his life, how he landed an epic project with Markham & Fitz Chocolate, and why the man loves photographing bathrooms and writing about them.

It's been said “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life," but in Kyle & Noah's humble opinion, that's a bunch of baloney! No matter how great your job or dream is, there’s gonna be stuff about it you don’t like. Agree? Disagree? For more questions and some answers (debatable), join us as we discuss “The Art of Doing Things You Hate.”
