Swimming Motivation
My guest today is a swimmer and friend of mine from my highschool, Patricia E. Paetow high school. He has been competitively swimming since the first time he went to a “pool party”. As a former swimmer for Paetow High school, it was really interesting to talk about motivation and the nuances of pushing forward when other people you respect start losing motivation themselves. I mean what do you do then? Keep pushing?

Long-Distance Relationship Fall
With another episode run, there comes this one. Although the conversation itself felt very quick, it was both intriguing and heartbreaking to hear my guest tell his story of his run of a failing long-distance relationship and what that did to him. I hope that anyone who listens to this can relate in some way and maybe find some encouragement from the lessons he learned from that experience.

Comic Books Galore
In the premeire of Illegally Opinionated, I talk with my anonymous guest from UT about: comic books! Going deeper on more than just how much fun it is to read them, we also talk about its use in American history for propaganda during WWII and the Vietnam War and its ever rising relevance during and post the first wave of Covid. As I discover, comic books are so much more than what meets the eye.
