    What we learned from our journaling exercise, Part 2 (Ep. 158)

    In the second half of this conversation, David and Eugene dive deep into the epiphanies Eugene had from journaling specifically related to ADHD. As two non-medical, non-scientific laymen, we have an honest discussion about what it's been like for him to understand his condition, what help (if any) he's gotten in the past, and in what ways his mental state has helped make him the person he is today. As always, thanks for listening! :)

    What we learned from our journaling exercise (Ep. 157)

    Recently Eugene and David tried a little exercise where we spent some time reflecting / journaling — in Eugene's case at a Starbucks following a men's retreat, and in David's case in the middle of the night. This was something Eugene especially had been wanting to do again since 2023. It's fair to say that we each came away surprised at what we learned about ourselves. In this episode, we talk about our process of reflection and what we came away with. As always, thanks for listening! :)

    Pop Culture Summer 2025 (Ep. 156)

    Continuing on the theme of catching up on the podcast, David and Eugene discuss the summer of pop culture 2025. As the hype of Kpop Demon Hunter is finally (maybe?) dying down, we talk about how we experienced the movie and music while Eugene predicts what the future sequels will be about. We also talk DC v. Marvel and David explains why Superman 2025 might be one of his top 3 comic book movies of all time. As always, thanks for listening!

    Eras Part 2 (Ep. 155)

    Prior to our hiatus, David and Eugene started a two part series talking about our "eras." Are you the same person you were decades ago? What's different and what's stayed the same? After having discussed our rocky teens and twenties, we've now moved on to our prime grown up years in our 30s and 40s. David discusses why his early 30s especially were so transformational, while Eugene talks about what's changed (and what hasn't) into his 40s. As always, thank you for listening!    Special thanks to Eugene for editing this episode!

    Networking (from skratch) (Ep. 154)

    After a looooong hiatus, we are so back! In this episode, David and Eugene discuss two recent networking events they separately attended. We've discussed the importance of networking in several past episodes but this is the first time we put it into practice, at least for the podcast. David discusses a very different kind of networking event he attended, while Eugene talks about the obstacles of finding networks when working remotely. 2025 may be off to a bit of a sputtering start for the two of us -- there are definitely reasons for that which we will discuss in future episodes. As always, thanks for listening! :)

    Eras (Ep. 153)

    While Taylor Swift's Eras tour may be over, David and Eugene embark on an "eras" journey of our own, as we talk about how our perspectives on life has changed over time. Are you the same person you were decades ago? What's different and what's stayed the same? David explains why the best word to describe his teenage self was "clueless" while Eugene discusses how he overcame his "slacker mode" in his twenties. As always, thanks for listening!

    Career Journey - The Final Chapter (for now!) (Ep. 152)

    This is the last in our recent series about career planning and Eugene's process of looking for a job. Happily, shortly after recording this episode, Eugene was offered and accepted a full time position. Thank you everyone for your support and well wishes during the transition process! In this episode we discuss juggling multiple potential job offers (not a bad problem to have), the ins and outs of job interviews, and debate the concept of "cultivating your personal brand." As always, thanks for listening! :)

    Chicago (Ep. 151)

    After a solo trip to the Windy City, David and Eugene discuss how they would structure solo travel, why David doesn't feel alone on such trips, and how (if at all!) Eugene's extroverted self would manage. We also reflect on our childhoods living in Chicago and some of the tough choices our parents had to make at the time. As always, thanks for listening!   Threads @davidchang99 X @davidgchang whatjustpodcast @ gmail . com "I miss everything about Chicago, except January and February." —Gary Cole
