My former roommate and longtime friend joined me the day our episodes reached double digits. Weston and I talk candidly about love, depression, friendship, vulnerability, being non-judgmental, and the selfless present life. He also talks about living in a van and the often misunderstood itinerant life. The episode ends with a powerful soliloquy after I ask Weston to close his eyes and give advice to his younger self.

A special on-the-go (recorded in a van) Q&A episode. I talk about the joys and sadness of Christmastime, the ushering in of a new decade. I delve into my own process of goal/resolution making. I also answer questions about God, purpose in life, the artistic life, Spikeball, and the moon.

We missed last week, but if you are greedy and need content, checkout my guest spot on The Minds Gym Podcast-Episode 37.

This is surely our heaviest episode to date. Becca Willett, one of my dearest friends, talks about attempting suicide, battling those thoughts, and how to reach out to those who are in a darkness most of us simply can't comprehend. But we also talk about age gaps in dating, tragic fashion choices by men, and the glory of being a waiter.

Kelly admitted to me that she hadn't slept the night before because she was so nervous about the show, about being vulnerable and so open for the first time. We talked about her  depression, anxiety, and her ability to cope with it, understand it, and find happiness. Her candor, openness, and advice to those struggling are invaluable. We also discuss benefits of therapy, anti-depressants, and how people can help friends and loved ones that are in a dark place.

In our longest episode yet we dive into the lightness and darkness of life. We talk about the redemptive goodness of art and creating things. We delve into what it means to be sad, to feel crippling anxiety, sadness, and how to combat it. Mason allows us to see into the struggle and the grey that lingers in the periphery. We also banter about kindness and how other people's love and attention has buoyed us in times of despondency.

Our first male guest! We finally did it. Meet Cole Gordon who talks candidly about his parents splitting, his love for his wife, and maintaining relationships with the opposite sex after marriage.

Still overcoming some sonic snafus, we were able to dive into a beautiful bevy of topics with the affable Eleanor Ruegner. We discussed Murphy's Law, self-love, self-care, confidence, passion, communication, and what men can learn from women and vice versa.

The first guest ever in the history of the podcast comes on and talks about the precarious nature of dating and relationships at such a young age. Annie is a college freshman and sister of one of Taylor's best friends and is able to give an insightful look into how life is for a cute girl just out of high school. Also, you may notice that sweet sweet Annie is a bit quieter than the host. This is because of a microphone issue, that we didn't catch until we were done recording. We didn't want to scrap the episode, so we kept this lower quality one for people to enjoy, but the sonics will be improved on the next episode.
