In this episode of "Never a Dull Friend," I had the pleasure of sitting down with one of my most interesting friends: Eric Dodson, a world traveler with a fascinating story to tell. Eric takes us on a journey, sharing his experiences studying clowning in Mexico, making friends, dating in different countries, and even hosting a cooking show.

Throughout our conversation, we delve deep into the topic of cultural differences related to family and modern dating in Mexico, Europe, and the US. Eric offers practical advice on how to make friends internationally, providing valuable insights for listeners who may be traveling or living abroad.

In addition to his worldly experiences, Eric is also a talented comedian. He shares some of his new stage ideas with us, emphasizing the importance of putting your gifts out into the world.

Today on the Pod I get down and dirty talking about sex and dating with my fellow single friend Shannon O'Malley. We discuss everything from hilarious dating stories to safety in dating, and attempt to play a game of Big Dick or Little Dick energy. All around the episode is full of laughs, and love, and most importantly you get to see how we support each other through a common experience.

In this episode of Never a Dull Friend, I dive head first into talking about sibling relationships with my first friend, my sister Anna. We talk about everything from the importance of play to the turning point in our relationship where we finally accepted each other and felt seen. We had a very volatile relationship for about 15 years and that took a lot of work to get to where we are today. If this inspires you to heal a relationship with your sibling or parents, then we have done our job with this episode! Happy Humaning!

Join me on the Never a Dull Friend podcast to explore the importance of human connection and genuine, long-lasting friendships. I sit down with some of my incredibly interesting and unique friends to have thought-provoking conversations, discussing personal experiences in a relaxed and conversational setting - think TED talk with a personal touch.

My goal is to inspire and teach listeners to connect with their communities, particularly as the pandemic has made it more challenging. As we get older, it's not about the number of friends we have, but the quality of those friendships and how we maintain them.

Join me in exploring what it takes to keep a friendship strong, and be inspired by real-life examples from my guests.
