  • Episode 006 - 80's Kids
    In this episode, we reminisce about our childhoods and discuss the differences between kids today and kids in the 80's. We tell stories about being latch-key-kids, sleepovers, and hitting the arcades. We also share some lessons on things we learned from our parents and ways we've changed our own parenting approach.

  • Episode 005 - Career
    What we have learned about Careers:
    It is easier to give career advice then to follow it for yourself.
    Don't put your career in someone else's hands. Create a plan, and make it clear what your goals are.
    Many jobs over your life; one career.
    Money isn't everything in your career. While it helps, doing something you have passion for can change everything.
    Work and life harmony means that sometimes your job will take away your personal time but at other times you are grabbing it back. It will never be in balance.
    The best thing you can ever invest in is yourself. Always be learning.

  • Episode 004 - Goals
    What we've learned about goals:
    - Life is a marathon, not a sprint.
    - In order to achieve your goals, start big then work your way backwards to what's achievable, no matter how small, today. A 10 year plan gets broken into yearly plans, then broken down to monthly goals, broken down into day by day what you need to be doing.
    - Track your goals! Use a journal or spreadsheet. Dave has an entire Excel workbook of goals for life, health, career, even video games.
    - As human beings, we need to feel daily progress towards something. Tracking your goals and making progress on them will do more than just change where you are in life. It will help you feel happier about life's journey.
    - Small progress, over large periods of time, add up to huge changes. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, and be better, no matter how small the change. Over time you will see huge improvements.
