Leeann & Michelle Think They're Funny

So, we had a fight last week. Okay - not really a "fight" - more of a heated disagreement. That happens every so often. We didn't four years into this friendship/business partnership without a few dustups.

In this episode, we're talking about how we deal with conflict. The enneagram 4 and 8 combo tends to be... ehrm... dramatic. ;)

In this episode, we mention:

Not Only, But Also Podcast

Leeann's Offerpad commercial, but we can't find the link. Oops. We'll post when we finally hunt it down.

In this episode, we welcome our FIRST GUESTS.

Now, we didn't want to start small. We wanted to go big... so our guests today are Mike Nawrocki and Steve Taylor. Both are legends in the entertainment world - Mike is a co-creator of VeggieTales and the voice of Larry The Cucumber. Steve is a musician and producer who's worked with The Newsboys and Sixpence None The Richer.

If you loved VeggieTales LIKE WE DID (and our kids do), you're going to love what these guys are working on. The next great Biblically-based series for kids... The Dead Sea Squirrels. We discuss what that is, how they'll make it happen (how you can help!), and Leeann does an impromptu audition for a voiceover character on the series. DOES SHE SINK OR SAIL? Listen to find out!

Michelle's birthday is on 2/13 and SHE OLD. How does she feel about it? What, if any, plastic surgery will either of us do? Is there botulinum toxin in either of our faces?

We're talking about all of that and more in this podcast episode.

Plus, a fan asked us for advice on work/life balance and we go kinda deep on that.

Enjoy and we hope you LOL! xoxo

Leeann is currently on set for a commercial! With her family... yes, all five of them booked it! Michelle just auditioned for a different commercial (fingers crossed!). In this episode, we're talking about the acting business - what we do, how we do it and some inside scoop.

We were guests on the TYPOLOGY PODCAST. Did you hear that? We were on the TYP.OL.O.GY.POD.CAST.

Check that out here:

Like every other enneagram enthusiast, we've been huge fans of Ian Morgan Cron since we devoured The Road Back to You and it changed both of our lives. In fact, as you'll here in our podcast episode, Leeann & Michelle Think They Know SIR IAN MORGAN CRON - we actually refer to him as Sir Ian or Cool Uncle Ian. Yes, we've forced our way into his family. It's not creepy.

Also, they're releasing our TYPOLOGY interview in two parts (yes, we fainted when we heard). We'll give you the Part 2 link as soon as it's live.
