When you hang out with friends, what's your end goal? Do you desire the occasional mimosa...a surface level chat over bunch? Or is it more than that? We all go into friendship seeking different outcomes. Ultimately, we are social creatures by nature, But what if friendships end up being something more productive? In this episode, we explore the concept of Productive Friendships--whether intended or unintended. 

There is an abundance of uncertainty in our world, now more than ever it seems. What if there are ways we can work to cope? 

Caleb and Steph unpack this, as well as some of the things that make them feel most alive in letting go. 

We've all been there, we make plans in the moment and then the day comes and you just don't feel up to going. Are you the type to make an excuse, ghost, or be honest and reschedule? 

We discuss the different feelings and thoughts associated to each end of making, and breaking plans. 

All too often people describe themselves as being "competitive", but what does that mean? It may be a motivational tool, but what else plays into having a competitive personality?

Caleb, Scott and Steph spend some time discussing the benefits and downfalls in this engaging episode.

What's your 'thing'? Is this something you personally identify with...or a thing from the past that reminds you of someone else? In this episode, we delve into the subject of personally identifiable objects--and what ties us to those things. Is this a thing of the past? Or do these traditions still stand true today? We deconstruct what drives us, what we do (or don't) hold onto--and the 'things' that help us hold on to who we are today.  

The term "fake it till you make it" is something we hear often. If we take the term to heart and run with it though, we are robbing ourselves of experience and learning opportunities. 

Steph, Caleb and Scott dig deeper on just what we miss out on by faking it till we make it, instead of continually learning through things. 

Centralized thinking is something we've mentioned quite a bit in our episodes so far, this is the episode where we delve deeper into this tool that we can use to navigate life. 

Often times FOMO is thought of in the terms of events and social gatherings, but what if it's more?
