Never Not Here For You Podcast

Patrick is very smart, creative, and funny. He is particularly gifted as a writer & documentary filmmaker(Google 'Phatrick Slimmerman - Vimeo' to discover all of the above). I asked him about his creative process and how he chooses new projects.

Patrick brought with him an essay he wrote in high school that conveyed (in very non-subtle ways) how he used to feel about relationships between men and women during an emotionally vulnerable time in his life. When he wrote it, hisopinions were meant to be expressed somewhat comedically, but they hinted at real insecurities he was feeling. Patrick’s motivations to write this included – among other things – seeing the movies 'In the Land of Women' and 'Crash' as well as having very specific takeaways from Chuck Klosterman’s writing.

Shenee Howard & I discussed societally reinforced gender roles that can often be disheartening, judgmental & isolating.

Shenee created a great web-series called "Did You Meet Any Boys?" and you can find it on YouTube! In this interview segment, we talk about the series' origins and how Shenee made it a reality.

We discussed the "rules" of (and strange trends within) the OKCupid universe.

This interview segment with entrepreneur/writer/content creator Shenee Howard centers on race in the contexts of dating, mass media, and living in a city like Austin, Texas.

Shenee Howard is a passionate entrepreneur who spends most of her time helping other female innovators build their brands and businesses. In this interview segment, we introduced ourselves and discussed our individual passions.

What is the meaning of friendship? We totally figured it out.

Ethan and I caught up and we recorded it and that is all of the pertinent information in this scenario! This chat will be relatable for anyone who has ever truly caught up with a close friend after not chatting for a while. It's one of those conversations during which all parties involved were consistently firing on all cylinders. Oh, the topics! Ethan is great to chat with only always, so this talk is a delightful, funny listen.

It's impossible to describe Tam more effectively than she can describe herself. She is curious about a great many things, most notably her sense of identity and how she relates to the world. She is also well-traveled and always headed off on new adventures, so I was grateful we could sit down during her downtime and have this chat.
