Don't Stop Believing

Don't Stop Believing by You, Me, Us
It's that time in our lives where a lot of us are seeking. We need jobs, we need friends, we need relationships, we need purpose, and we need happiness. How you seek out these things might differ from mine but it's always interesting to hear about other people's perspectives and journeys. This episode takes us through a conversation about experiencing meditation and mindfulness, living in the moment, and maybe touches on the relationship of pain to growth. [28:16 mins]

Gentlemen, look around you. See all those beautiful, successful women? Are you intimidated or attracted? Listen in as we talk to two members of our better halves as they talk about dealing with men's insecurities, working in male dominated industries, and balancing their yin with their yang. The last few minutes segues to a conversation about how each potentially positive relationship quality also has an accompanying negative aspect; the newly dubbed "shadow side." [26:13 mins]

Dating Age is a Very Important Number MP3
Is there a correlation between physical age and relationship maturity? In a perfect world we'd like to say that the answer is "no" but many of us have experienced the ups and downs of a youthful relationship. This episode begins by questioning the wisdom of dating those on the verge of their quarterlife crisis and then shuttles around to ultimately seek answers to the question: "Who is the going to be the best person to sleep in with on a Saturday morning?"

The Bottom Line of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

The Bottom Line Of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle by You, Me, Us
For this episode I nabbed my business school attending friend to spill the beans on what he's learning. But it gets better than that because his area of interest is how to make businesses more efficient and most importantly, sustainable. Yes, staying environmentally conscious isn't just for you, me, and mom anymore. My guest provides us with some fascinating insights and examples. Keep Earth cool, study sustainability in school! The site he references is GreenBiz.com. [24:50 min]
