This week's episode was supposed to be an introduction to our new intern Megan.  Naturally, I messed up the recording and was so lucky I could guilt my brother Scott to be my guest.  He was not prepared for the questions that I asked, which turned into an insightful conversation. 

I first discuss group photos and how to look good in them and proper etiquette on posting across social media channels.  We talk about giving off positive energy and how a smile is an easy way of just looking good and happy. 

We then dive deeper into the emotional side of FOMO and when it is and is not appropriate to post pictures that could offend loved ones. 

Lastly, Scott defines the  phenomena that I am explaining as “flex culture” He uses his own personal stories as examples of being a young guy in the flashy Miami scene. 

[9:00] If you just smile you are giving off happy energy 

[14:39] Do you go out of your way not to post to not offend anyone? Or do you just do it because you are living your life?

[17:00] Our parents really beat into us if you have nothing nice to say don’t say it at all 

[23:58] If I don’t turn these things into motivation I’m going to consume myself and not be happy
