    Lowe's vs Home Depot: The Ultimate Debate

    Today on the podcast we discuss one of the most important questions of our van build. Is Home Depot or Lowe's better for getting materials to build a van? This question has challenged philosophers for decades. We are thrilled to add our opinion into the conversation and hopefully answer this question. Thank you for tuning into the podcast! We are moving our upload date to Thursdays so stick around to see a new podcast episode every Thursday!

    The TikTok Live Podcast

    Today's episode of the Project Today Podcast is an incredibly special one... for many reasons! For one, we are recording outside of Colorado for the first time in MONTHS, as we are now doing the conversion in the great (and hot) state of Arizona! We road-tripped down here a little over a week ago, and have now spent the last three days working towards finishing the kitchen frame of our Uhaul (it's almost done!) Also, this coming Sunday we will be posting a Youtube video once again! We took a little break from creating content last week after the road trip, but this Sunday our normal two-videos-per-week schedule will resume. Also, we've back on TikTok as well, posting videos there on a near-daily basis. Speaking of TikTok, at the end of today's podcast we have a special and completely unplanned surprise... a TikTok live Q&A!!! You'll get to hear us answering questions from our TikTok audience live here today, about everything from the box truck conversion to our favorite songs for road trips. We hope you enjoy!

    Is the Box Truck Conversion...Over?

    It's been two months, and the question that everybody wants answered remains...   Is the conversion over?   And that is exactly the question we try to answer in today's podcast! Welcome back everyone, it's been two weeks since the last podcast and we are SO EXCITED to bring you some news and updates. The short answer to the question above is no... but also yes! Kind of... but mostly no.  And with that, let's get into today's podcast!

    IT'S TIME FOR A ROAD TRIP!

    After almost two months working on the box truck, it's finally time for... A ROAD TRIP! That's right, Project Today is going on the road! The box truck conversion has been going really well, and within two weeks from the time of writing this description we will be ready to start traveling around the U.S. There are only a few big projects left to do before the Uhaul will be "livable", and immediately when we hit that threshold it will be time to hit the road! Our first stop: Phoenix, Arizona. Not only do we talk about this upcoming road trip in today's podcast, but we also go over some of the more interesting projects we've done so far in the entire build, including our couch-to-bed conversion and our tongue-in-groove ceiling. Both of these projects have take a lot longer than we had anticipated, and they've each presented us with numerous problems along the way. Yet, in true Project Today spirit, we're getting closer and closer to completing both of them with each passing day. We hope you all enjoy today's podcast! And if you haven't already, make sure you check us out on Youtube (just search ProjectToday), TikTok (@Projecttoday) and Instagram (@projecttoday_)! We'll see you all again next week!

    Snow Days in September!!!

    Snow in September, while we're converting our retired Uhaul box truck into a full-time tiny house? We promise you'll never see anything like this every again... Welcome back to the Project Today podcast, where today we will be going over our last week of work on the box truck conversion. Rather than having a tie day (take-it-easy day) we've given ourselves a bit of a tie week. We are hitting a little bit of that burnout we felt a few weeks ago, and because of that our progress on the van build has been halted. On top of this, we also haven't gone over our New Years Resolutions from this past January! It's been nine months since we set up our resolutions here on this podcast, so we thought today would be a great day to analyze our progress towards those goals. 2020 has been a crazy year, not just for us but for the entire world, and our resolutions have (of course) been drastically changed by the circumstances of the world. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. In times like these, when we might be struggling to find the motivation to keep building the truck and editing videos and recording podcasts, it's important to remember where we were just a few months ago. None of us thought that our "Crazy Van Plan" would even start until 2021, and yet here we are just a few weeks away from being able to travel around the country in a fully renovated box truck! Our TikTok and Youtube accounts are fully monetized, our brand is growing, and the three of us are closer than we've ever been in our lives. While difficult, 2020 has absolutely been a year of taking steps towards accomplishing some of our lifelong dreams, and that's something we can't forget. So, did the snow ruin our box truck? Have ANY of the guys accomplished their New Years Resolutions? WILL THE CONVERSION EVER BE FINISHED????? Find out today in the latest episode of the Project Today Podcast!

    Starting a Box Truck Conversion with NO EXPERIENCE - And Getting Monetized!

    As we continue making progress on our box truck conversion, we're finding out just how much fun it is to learn new things and apply them immediately into our lives! This week, the three of us started to really get into woodworking... something none of us had ever done before in our lives. And for three rookies, we think our latest project (a couch-bed frame that will sleep two of us in the box truck) came out really well!!! And with that, welcome everyone to the Project Today podcast! It's been a super exciting week of van build progress, with a Youtube video and 4 TikToks going up since we last posted a pod. We finished a menagerie of smaller projects last week, and this week we dug into one of the biggest projects of the entire conversion - the beds. Two people will be sleeping on a queen bed down in the box truck itself, and during the day the bed will convert into a big U-shaped couch with a table in the middle! It's absolutely a project that we've been looking forward to for weeks... and now that it's done, we could possibly start sleeping in the van one of these days! As if this project wasn't exciting enough, we have some more crazy news for you all... we're getting monetized! Our TikTok account is now officially making money every day through the TikTok creator program, and our Youtube channel will be monetized the day after this podcast goes live. We're incredibly excited about this, but probably not for the reasons you'd think... listen to the entire podcast to find out why! As always, thank you all so much for the support both here on the podcast and on our other social media channels! Your support has truly been a blessing, and we can't thank you enough. Remember, anyone who comments on our latest Youtube video saying they came here from the podcast will get a shoutout in the video! Last week, Veronica Kim commented on our Sunday video, and we couldn't be more thankful! We hope you all are having an amazing day, and we'll see you all again on another Project Today podcast next Wednesday!!!
