Something More Human

Sometimes your brain tricks you into thinking you didn't have a great year. But what if you really did? We're kicking off 2026 by making the case for documenting your life and opting for analogue in a digital world. We're sharing our annual tradition for facing the facts of how we spent the last 12 months and how it shapes what we want out of the next 12 months. 
This is your permission slip to romanticize your real life this year.

Bonus: maybe you'll finally sign up for that class you've been putting off.

What if the fear of rejection is really just the fear of being seen? A simple question at a brewery set off a chain of events that reshaped an entire evening during our recent anniversary trip. We're unpacking how practicing Rejection Therapy can lead to unforgettable connections, unexpected joy, and a more confident approach to life. From Sam's unapologetic strategy for accepting rejection to Elliot's inner critic preventing him from asking in the first place, this episode explores the butterfly effect of asking for what you want, even when the answer might be "no."
