Happy Thanksgiving! This week Jamie and Eric begin the conversation about bias and how it doesn't mean what many people think it means. Also, we'll talk about why it's so easy to judge people for making mistakes, and so easy to point the finger somewhere else when we make mistakes.
Read MoreMany people around the country (regardless of political party) are saying something like, "How could half of the country vote for THAT guy?" Let's work through that.
We started this podcast with the intention of being candid and authentic, and we are going to hold true to that. We took the last couple of weeks off (unplanned) because things have been really heavy for us.

So, we were on a break.

Read MoreIn creating this podcast, we committed to being honest and forthcoming with our relationship and the apparent STUPIDITY therein... so as the podcast moved to the third principle "The Desire to Fight to Be Right" - AND we happened to have just gone through "THE ARGUMENT," we had to dive in. This is either podcasting at it's BEST or podcasting at its worst. Let us know in the comments.
Read MoreThis week, we discuss Perception vs. Reality (as it relates to cooking, cleaning, patience and the glacial pace of behavior change). Oh, and yes, I threw an EPIC dad joke in there and completely caught Jamie off guard. Her laugh, while trying to roll her eyes, is priceless!
