The guys discuss how to make small habits make big changes over time, and how life isn't all sunshine and rainbows. They explain using your life experience to help make a big pivot in your life and that facing your demons is much healthier than avoiding them.  

Dwelling on the past isn't going to get you anywhere, so come along on this ride as we try to make better decisions in the present moment for a better tomorrow!

This episode gets pretty deep, so come along for the ride with us.  This is Part 1 of a 2 part episode. 

Steve and JP get candid about how communication is important in friendships and business relationships, and discuss how they maintain a balance for both in their day to day lives and careers.  They also break down prioritizing goals that are within your control, as well as never counting yourself out when pursuing a dream that feels and seems impossible.

This episode required a lot of honesty from both Steve and JP in their own ways, and they get very real about how life changing it can be keep it real with friends in order to grow together.  They make it a point to say that it's never too late in life to regroup and make a change in your life, and that sometimes you have to trust your gut when making a big decision instead of overthinking all the little steps that will come down the road later.

Stay tuned for Part 2 next Monday!!!

The baguette boys are here with a brand new episode!  That'll make more sense if you listen to the whole episode. 

We're honored to bring you a very special guest this week on "Who Thought We'd Be Here?".  Our guest this week on the podcast is none other than Vic Alam, owner and manager of Old Dhaka Coffee House, located inside the Hudson Valley Food Hall in Beacon, New York.  The concept of Old Dhaka Coffee House is inspired by Vic's childhood growing up in Bangladesh, and his passion for a good espresso.  

In this episode, we talk with Vic about what it's like to run your own small business, and the daily work it takes to bring the best version of yourself to your passion projects. Vic also dives deep on how he uses social media to connect with local customers, how he built a brand with a cohesive aesthetic, and how he plans to branch out into other business ventures in the future.

This episode isn't just about coffee, it's also about friendship!  Vic has grown to be a close friend of the podcast ever since it's creation, and he has put a lot of time and effort into creating a more balanced and genuine version of himself in mind, body, and spirit.  We ask Vic deep questions about manifesting the future that you desire, learning from the relationships around you, and making time for the things that bring you joy.

This episode was recorded inside the Hudson Valley Food Hall, home of the The Roosevelt Open Mic, hosted by JP and Vic. Check out our next one on Monday, August 26th 2024 at 8pm, and the last Monday of every month.

30 episodes?!?!? Good lord why are these mfers even still doing this podcast? We're just kidding.  We appreciate all you folks for listening, it's been almost a year of Who Thought We'd be Here? and we're grateful for every single one of you that supports us.  

In this episode, Steve and JP ask each other questions about their past, and think critically about who they were versus who they are now.  They chop it up about taking time for yourself, and how they try to be purposeful and place effort into the areas of their life that are meaningful.  They also remind themselves that everyone is human, and all of us are multidimensional people who are always evolving.

Steve dives deep on his passion for professional wrestling, and JP proposes that Pete Rose is actually a good role model.

Thanks for listening. We love y'all.

This episode of "Who Thought We'd Be Here?" was recorded on July 27th, 2024.

The fellas get a little personal on this one, but who cares? That's exactly why we started this podcast.  Steve and JP discuss the skill of being consistent and disciplined when life is always changing, and the importance of maintaining balance within yourself and the people in your life. They also discuss what they are learning about themselves as they put energy into new relationships, and how they are learning to separate their personal lives from what they bring to the podcast.

And by far the most important thing, JP's puppy Eleanor makes her first appearance on Who Thought We'd Be Here? in this episode.

As always, thanks for listening and keep on fighting the good fight!
