A quick story about how a random act of kindness just made my day.

I talk about my inability to relax and why I feel we should say no more often.

E. Sib, sister of my best friend, tells me all about her experiences sleeping in the family van this summer and lessons learned from a few months in New Zealand. Plus, random questions involving DMB, FMK and naked strangers. Go vote.

The past 12 months have been very difficult for me, for reasons other than the craziness happening in the outside world. Today, I talk about my path to recovery.

My favorite AIM buddy tells me about her time spent on the front lines early on in the pandemic. Then, we bond over summer memories, working overnights and the unhealthiness of social media. Plus, a story about why her boyfriend probably hates me.

In a conversation that’s truly all over the place, my longtime basketball teammate tells me about his new outlook on life, modeling, why his college basketball career didn’t pan out the way he hoped, his entrepreneurial ventures and much more. This might get weird.

I don’t deal well with failure, and so I talk about that today.

I talk about the awesome feedback I received from my chat with Liana. Plus, I discuss future pod plans and how good it feels to be putting stuff out there again.

My lifelong friend, who was supposed to marry the love her life in late July, tells me about the pandemic's negative toll on her mental well-being and also why she eventually decided to move the biggest day of her life back to 2021. Plus, she explains why -- with a rough job market out there -- she quit her job in public health without anything else lined up.

On another night of sleep deprivation, I give my thoughts on the perils of sleep deprivation.
