In this episode, I am joined by the Co-Host of The Single Dads Podcast, Scott Fischer, where he opens up about his journey as a man and single father after losing both his mother at an early age followed by losing his wife,  the love of his life, to cancer when their son was only 5 years old. His story is one of not just overcoming adversity, but of a man impacted and certainly changed by loss, but not defined by it. He shares stories of getting past drama, helping other single dads, raising a fine young man as a single father, dating, traveling all of the world, and just doing his best to maintain perspective so he can keep on living a meaningful life full of awareness and empathy. Scott is an extraordinary person, and it was a privilege to host him on the podcast and set the groundwork for a new meaningful friend in my life!

In this solo recording, I humbly lay myself out there, and open up about why I have started The Owning Alone Podcast and help provide a bit of my background on myself and how I came to starting this Podcast. I lay out the framework of the podcast, who it is directed at, why it is important today in modern times, then get into the thesis, my vision and the mission. I get vulnerable about my past and who I am as a human and end the episode sharing my perspective gained from reading a recent article published in the Atlantic by Derek Thompson, titled “Why American’s Suddenly Stopped Hanging Out.”

On this Valentine’s special of The Love Laugh Lounge I am joined by 28 y/o, Miranda Hickman, a Zillennial and fellow cusper. You won’t stop laughing as we compare and contrast dating experience across our separate generations, and I attempt give her hope that most men will eventually grow up. She shares her “icks,” and a detailed story about when her date assessed whether she could give him D-1 babies. We then go on to debate the merits of getting up and leaving a date. Finally ending with me admitting a successful cougar run in my late 20s, followed by the usual game of Red Flag/Green Flag.

Description: Recorded live from Pasadena, CA, I was given the distinct pleasure to interview my good friend and mentor, Michael Bowman. Born and raised in rural eastern Colorado, Mike is as close as it gets to a modern-day renaissance man. He is a father, grandfather, farmer, climate change and agricultural hemp lobbyist, movie producer, distillery owner, marijuana drink owner, involved in M&A and Co-Founding a new moderate political platform with George Nolfi call Civil. In this interview, he shares stories of developing a life-long friendship with Annie and Willie Nelson and their family, working with them and Woody Harrelson on biofuel and ag hemp policy, secretly getting a hemp flag flown at the nationals capital on the 4th of July and producing Elevation a movie directed by George Nolfi with actor Anthony Mackie. We get into how important it is to say “yes” and talk to strangers. It’s an incredible story, told by an incredible man that won’t leave you disappointed and maybe even gain some wisdom. 

Follow Mike on Instagram @bowmanmichael , check out the news platform Civil, find the movie Elevation when it comes out later this year!

In this premiere of The Love Laugh Lounge, the comedic sub-series of the Owning Alone Podcast, I am joined by lovely ex-wife, Lauren Palumbo, where share war-stories of our online dating experiences both pre and post-divorce, share in some of the all but too familiar banter and get into the topic of gender roles between men and woman when it comes to dating in the modern age. I get candid about which head is doing the swiping, how I feel about Boulder woman and swimsuit pictures. Lauren tells men how to be direct with their messaging and can’t get enough of the new term “kittenfish.” You won’t be disappointed by this series premiere between two former lovers back out in the wild!

If you are in the non-profit world, looking for executive level support, get ahold of Lauren through her company at Third Sight Strategies.

With this series premiere,  I am joined by my good friend Emanuela Messineo, a Denver based personal coach, and woman in her early 40’s who opens up about her earlier struggles with being a chronic people pleaser and the work she has done to build awareness around it and take back control. We also dive into discussions about: middle-aged dating, the “rules” of modern relationships, oversharing as a relationship building technique, how therapy has empowered us to set boundaries and gain awareness, the difference between our single unencumbered lives and that of our married peers raising children, and then end with some thoughtful advice for our 25-year-old selves.
