Description

Greg and I (Vinny), love to read. Fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, your grandma’s cookbook—nothing’s off limits. Not merely for entertainment, but because stories help us understand reality. They help us better know ourselves. 

Integral to a meaningful story is conflict, revelation, courage, fear; love. 

The purpose of our young lives, we’ve found so far, is to live a story worth telling. That is why we’re here. That is why we pump out this podcast and continue, because we hope to inspire you to live a purposeful, beautiful, heartbreaking and meaningful story in whatever way that aligns with who you are and what you hope to do in this world.

In this episode we discuss difficult goodbyes: the cleaving of a chapter, a moment, an experience, to begin something new. I’ve had to say goodbye to a best friend here in Japan and also my dad who came to visit.

It’s so hard to say goodbye; but when it hurts that badly, it means we’re living a meaningful story, one in which we’re sad will end. But the wonderful thing is that we can’t imagine what will come next; that is life: difficult goodbyes and beautiful beginnings, over and over and over. 

We also share some of our favorite books, incredible stories of adventure and love in this universe and others.
