Those darn kids with their stocked snack drawers, fancy dance classes, and name brand cereal!
They've got it all, why can't they step up the the plate and JUST DO IT (TM) ?

Welcome to our 100th episode. Thereâs nothing special planned for this episode, which is pretty fitting because we donât do much planning ahead. Maybe thatâs because we donât have the bandwidth for it currently, or maybe itâs intentional because we always find we have the best conversations when we simply hop into the booth and start talking about whatâs going on in our lives. Raw and authentic.
Thanks for being here. Whatever your reason is, we hope you feel like this is an investment in yourself and your relationships as much as we do. At the very least, Markâs gonna make you laugh.
Love you - Show more
