• Rejection Therapy

  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."Support the show by becoming a member of the Something More Society and gain access to exclusive episodes and more intimate ways of connecting.Stay Connected with Sam & ElliotLeave us a voicemail here! Grab your "A Little More Humani-tea" & shop our other merch!Follow us on Instagram & TikTok

• Get Your Ass To The Party

  Going to the party is arguably more important than self-care for your overall health. Okay, but what does that mean? We're uncovering the urge to bail, balancing rest with connection, and how to show up with intention. Plus: creative ways to host unforgettable gatherings, showing up as the best guest, how to be a “villager,” and why Google Calendar might be the ultimate relationship tool.Support the show by becoming a member of the Something More Society and gain access to exclusive episodes and more intimate ways of connecting.Stay Connected with Sam & ElliotLeave us a voicemail here! Grab your "A Little More Humani-tea" & shop our other merch!Follow us on Instagram & TikTok

• Copy This Cure For Loneliness (in Denver)

  "The Company" is redefining what connection looks like in adulthood and absolutely changed the way we felt about moving to a city where we knew no one and felt immensely lonely. Ivan and Livvy Ruiz-Knott are fellow married friends and co-founders (2 of 3) of "The Company." What started as a few friends gathering in a living room is now something much bigger: a space of connection and creativity, where people feel genuinely seen. We uncover the hidden power of consistency, why hosting isn’t just for extroverts, and how silly events like PowerPoint Parties can actually be life-changing (and how you can start all of this for yourself, in your own living room). Learn more about The Company and subscribe to Paperwork.Support the show by becoming a member of the Something More Society and gain access to exclusive episodes and more intimate ways of connecting.Stay Connected with Sam & ElliotLeave us a voicemail here! Grab your "A Little More Humani-tea" & shop our other merch!Follow us on Instagram & TikTok
