    Ep. 010: Growing Up with a Little Bit of Magic

    On this episode, I get to connect with an old friend, Elizabeth Wetzel. Elizabeth and I went to college together, and one of the first things we bonded over was our love of Harry Potter, so of course we had to make an episode about it. This episode dives into her love of the books and how, thorough reading them, she was able to build stronger relationships with those in her life. We also talk about the impact these books had on her as a child and how they continue to play a big role in her life now. In the words of JK Rowling, “If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book.” Well, I think Elizabeth definitely found her right book, or seven for that matter.

    Ep. 009: The One Where They Talk about Friends, pt. 2

    Welcome to part 2 of the The One Where They Talk about Friends. You read that correctly. Michael Gold and I couldn’t shut up about how much we love Friends, that you get two full episodes about it. In this part specifically, we get into some of our favorite guest stars, discuss the upcoming Friends reunion and even attempt to answer that infamous question: How do you rank six of the most iconic characters in TV history? Similar to the last episode, this part includes spoilers, so beware.

    Ep. 008: The One Where They Talk about Friends, pt. 1

    This episode is actually Pt. 1 of 2 where I get to talk to one of my good friends, Michael Gold, about a show that we are both very passionate about. That’s right. We do two full episodes covering all things Friends. Pt. 1 covers how we first got into the show, and Michael talks about how it’s had an impact on his life and how he has built relationships with others. We also discuss which characters we most identify with and one character in particular whom Michael has strong feelings towards, to say the least. Oh, also there are definite spoilers in here, so be cautious if you haven’t seen the show yet.

    Ep. 007: Music and the Impact on Our Lives

    After hundreds of requests (at least that’s what I told him), my brother finally joined the podcast to discuss how he went from never listening to music to what might now be classified as an obsession. We also discuss the bond we now share for music, bro to bro. We even tease a new project that we’re working on together, that we’re really hoping will get people excited. Brian Sirak is our featured guest on Ep. 007. Check it out now.

    This week, I get the opportunity to sit down with Vivi Barnes, a published author and inspiring human being.

    Ep. 005: It's Better Live

    This is a pretty special episode for me because I get to talk with my friend, Colin Umbarger, the only person I know who loves concerts as much as I do. We go over some of his favorite shows and discuss what makes for a great concert. We also get into concert etiquette and what his dream lineup would look like. We even talk about hosting house shows and how this newly popular concept can be an intimate way to connect to your favorite music.

    On this episode, I get the chance to talk with Kimberly Burns about how she embraced fashion at a young age and even turned it into a career. We discuss her involvement in the Her Universe fashion show and what this event means to her. We also dive into where she finds inspiration and how fashion should not be used as a way to fit in, but instead to stand out.
