Serious Chats Serious Chats (With Chaps, Chums and Cats)

After a colleague mentioned he'd been to see the Grateful Dead almost 200 times, I knew we had to sit down and have a chat. He speaks about what lead him to tour with the band, what life was like on the road, and the mischief he got into along the way.

In this episode of Serious Chats, I talk to my colleague Mike again. If you're a fan you'll remember I spoke to mike in an earlier episode of origin stories.

This time, we're talking about parenthood. Mike just recently had a baby and he shares the experience, from the moment of finding out his wife was pregnant to the big day itself.

While I share my reasoning behind not having children.

This week, I talk to my colleague, Lusine, about the process of adjusting to life in a new country. We touch on nationality and whether we'll ever consider ourselves as Americans. As well as talking about where we consider our homes.

Lastly, we talk about the small annoyances and misunderstandings that happen when you first move to a new country and the process of pushing through to integration.

Do you have an origin story? Are you the person you are due to a few specific events that changed your life? Or was it all a gradual process that you've more or less forgotten about?

In this episode, I speak to my co-worker Mike about superhero origins, whether we have our own origin stories and what has had an influence on our lives.
