Project Today

In the FIRST EVER Project Today podcast, we decide to start up another 30-day social media cleanse. Almost 1 year ago to the day, we began our first ever digital decluttering, however we've each fallen back into the traps of social media in one way or another. To remedy this, we decide to lean heavily on the advice of professionals in the Digital Minimalism space, namely Cal Newport (author of the book Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World) and create our own personalized approaches to the cleanse.

On this revamped podcast, we will constantly aim to challenge each other in new and unique ways, and this is the first example of that. We want these challenges to push our limits and force us to see new perspectives of the lives that we lead, oftentimes meaning we will feel uncomfortable in the process. That's the goal. We want this social media cleanse to become something to influential that it changes the way we look at technology in general, and in one month's time, we'll bring the topic back up here on the podcast so we can each discuss our findings.

As emphasized by our brand new name, we're starting the cleanse TODAY... there's no time to waste. If you want to join in on the fun and relinquish all forms of digital distractions for 30 days, we encourage you to reach out to us on Instagram (we'll be checking our DMs once-per-week and will absolutely respond if you send us a message) so that we can all be in on this together.

And with that, our first PROJECT begins TODAY... are you with us?

We'll be back next Wednesday with our first Project Today episode!

This is the final episode of Life Talk... next week, our podcast will become Project Today, and with that comes a complete rebrand! In this episode, we talk about what Project Today is, our goals for this new brand, and why you should be as excited as we are about the state of our podcast!

In this episode, we delve into the ways in which each of us will tackle our own biggest fears... and how thrill-seeking will play a role in conquering those fears.

While each of us may be deathly afraid of something, we are lucky to be in a position where those fears can be tested and ultimately overcome. None of us want to allow fear or discomfort to rule our lives. Because of that, we each spend a little time in this episode discussing what those fears are and how they can be conquered. Whether it's putting on a bee-suit or swimming with sharks, every fear is simply a hurdle that we are meant to leap over at some point in our lives.

Hopefully in this episode you're able to learn a bit more about each of us, and see what really makes us uncomfortable at the end of the day. We're each excited and scared to seek out these opportunities in life, and we are extremely grateful that you took the time to listen as we discussed them.

This week the race for the perfect credit score heats up, moves have been made by two of the three of us getting us one step closer to that goal! We also talk a bit about Oliver's spring break plans to travel to Colombia, and Chases vast knowledge of Geography!

Can you live in a van made of Lego? That's the question on our hosts' minds this week as they dissect the highly-anticipated series premiere of Lego Masters, before giving some updates on their #VanLife plans.

Additionally, we would like to apologize for Chase's audio from the 17:00 mark onward. He was experiencing some microphone malfunctions and unfortunately did not discover the issue until after recording.

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD: Do not watch this episode if you haven't yet watched the Super Bowl halftime show! Today we discuss why we thought the Super Bowl LIV halftime show was one of the greatest of all time, as well as how it is helping to teach one of us Spanish... Additionally, we learn about an interesting dream of Dylan's before getting excited about a new upcoming television series.

In the latest installment of the Life Talk Podcast, Dylan and Oliver do their best to convince Chase to become a vegan. Will they be able to answer all of his questions, and ultimately sway him to become a full-fledged, plant-based vegan? Or will this experiment simply remind him that meat is his one and only true love? Find out today!

After successfully shooting his shot on social media, Oliver got to spend couple days with Nimai Delgado, the vegan bodybuilder who inspired Oliver to become a vegan in the first place. In this episode he opens up about the things he learned while with Nimai, as well as what how this chance meeting will help him build a brand on Instagram and TikTok.

In this episode, we discuss Dylan's recent journey through the world of personal finance, and how he successfully applied to a credit card after being denied three times in a row. Additionally, we've got some great news regarding our Crazy Van Plan, with it looking more than likely that our expedition will begin as early as this summer...
