The Thomas Sawyer Podcast

Got a chance to sit down with Braxton & Charity before we shot some photos in my home office. We talked about their up-bringing, how the two of them met, and how they’ve navigated being a band – including having 8 different bass players in a matter of months. Great talk!

I might be three days late posting it, but you know what – I showed up. Today we talk about simply stating what you’re doing rather than talking down about yourself, detour to talk about how cool my friends make me feel, and go out with a bang on a side tangent about trying new things after I’ve already done the closing remarks; better late than never.

I had the opportunity to sit down with my friend, Katie. She’s a professional pole vaulter. She has a number of accolades under her belt, but somehow remains to be one of the most humble people I’ve met. I know there are so many good things in store for her. Great talk!

After a brief month-long hiatus, I'm back and coming hot out the gate. Let's catch up on why there haven't been new episodes, what I'm working on, what I'm thinking, and how you can get involved – Ya dig?

The main topic of today's episode is travel, but we also hit on boundaries and personal growth as we circle the drain. Lauren and I break down what makes us better travel companions and how we can coexist on the road. Let's get into it!

Remember that scene from Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone where Ron says "She needs to sort out her priorities!" That's what inspired this week's episode title. Anyways, this is the first time in the podcast's history that I've missed a week and I wanted to talk about it. Lauren graciously accepted the invitation to be on again because I really didn't want to talk to myself two episodes in a row. Let's talk priorities!

We put a lot of pressure on ourselves as creators. Often times we see others creating work that is so inspiring to us and done an incredibly fast rates that we feel overwhelmed and discouraged. Today I wanted to share my story of how I navigated that feeling and a little bit of encouragement for you to keep doing things your way.

There's nothing harder and more satisfying in life than change. It is both an undeserved gift and a necessary evil. Ciaran has gone through several big changes in his life and it was wonderful to pick his brain about them as I feel very strongly that a season of change is upon me. Great talk!

Today's episode features a lovely cameo from Lauren Dangelo as we talk about relationships. Well, we intended to talk about relationships, but more-or-less got into the psychology behind tv/film and dance. We did have a nice patch where we stayed on topic and discussed the importance of honesty in a relationship. Great talk!

Dana and Grace Langshaw hopped on the mics to school me about the pros and cons of being identical twins, navigating the modeling industry, and, honestly, how we survived high school together.
