We're back again talking about something that scares me about the future. I know, I know, that's everything, but this topic is pretty frightening to me. To me it seems like a lot of adults reach a point in their life when life and everything in it becomes mundane and routine. They reach a point when they settle and the responsibilities of growing up take over to a point where they can't be spontaneous. They no longer go on trips, try new things, meet new people, or do anything they really want t...

This week’s episode is brought to you by Campbell’s Soup and The Heavy Hitters. Not really though, we’re not prominent enough for big sponsors yet. Anyway, Brandon is back! You’ll probably be seeing more of him in the coming week’s because he doesn’t have much to do right now and I hate talking to myself, so he’ll be a makeshift cohost. This week we decided to take a break from the big things in life that confuse us and focus on the little things that don’t make any sense. We realize we sound li...

On this week's episode I chat with an old time friend of mine, Matt Colbert. We met years ago over a game of basketball and have been friends ever since. It's wild to think about just how far we've come since then and what we've learned. Matt studied Environmental Engineering at Gannon University and is currently pursuing a career in the same field. Matt was never someone who thought terribly much about the future so he was lucky to find a major that fit his skill set so he could find a career h...

This week I did another solo podcast about a cool idea I read about in The Celestine Prophecy. It's the idea that we all have what are called Control Dramas. These are basically the method we use to make ourselves feel better when we are dealing with anger, sadness, or stress. We use our own personal drama to steal energy from others and boost our emotional state.Find out which end of the spectrum you fall on and where all your friends and family fall. Once you know that, you can learn to preven...

This week I sat down with my sister’s friend Mike Mastro. He heard about my podcast and couldn’t wait to be a part of it. We talk about Mike’s process through college from first thinking chemistry was a great option to then going into the engineering field. Now he’s working in the computer science world and figuring out how to stay productive while working from home. We also discuss some of Mike’s hobbies and dreams. He loves staying active by working out, running, and golfing, but he also enjoy...

This week I chatted with my friend from Binghamton, Jacob Parker. Jacob and I met in our school’s theater club, HPC and have been friends ever since. Jacob has always had a passion for music, both playing and composing it, so it’s no surprise he’s going into music education. We discuss his process of figuring out what he wanted to do with his life because he didn’t always know. He was actually considering chemistry for awhile. We also discuss some big moments in his college career that have shap...

This week I chatted with my old friend Nick Damiani from High School. We had the opportunity to catch up a little and see how far we’ve each come since then. Nick tells us all about his experience dealing with the pressures of choosing a college and a major while also processing the loss of his father. We talk about finding happiness in every situation and realizing that life has its ups and downs, but you always have to stay humble. Nick studied Biomedical engineering in college and plans on wo...

I procrastinated and didn't schedule an interview in time for this week, so we're trying something a little different. This week I decide to talk a little bit about something I've been thinking a lot about recently. I feel like there's a growing issue in our society and people are no longer communicating with one another or sharing how they feel. It seems like we're all so afraid to be ourselves and share our emotions because we believe other people will judge us or get angry when we do. I wante...

This week I got the chance to talk with my friend Kyle, a Biology teacher in New Jersey. Kyle went through a lot of options and thoughts before choosing Biology as his major and he's a great example for anyone who isn't sure of what they want to do. He's worked a couple odd jobs in his life and although they were never his passions, he always worked hard and made the job fun any way that he could. We discuss his hindsight moments and how things like a bad breakup have created the stronger, healt...

This week I talked with my friend Cady. She and I met through an on campus theater company at Binghamton University so it's no surprise that we talk a lot about theater. We discuss Cady's fears and concerns for the near future as well as more long term, but we also learn about her process of getting to this point in her life. She is a wonderful example of going into college thinking you'll do one thing but realizing that her purpose is in a completely different direction. You can learn a lot fro...

My buddy Matt came to visit the boys in Binghamton this week, so we had to do an episode! Matt has a degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Law from Binghamton University and he was working as a paralegal in DC, until very recently when he decided to pursue another career. We talk about his process of getting to this point in his life and where he sees himself going in the future. We talk all about his passion of making music (which you can check out with the link below) as well as some of his othe...

On this week's episode I sit down with an old friend of mine, Cody. Cody is a Police Officer living in North Carolina and is working up the ranks through training and by gaining more experience. We discuss what that process has been like for him and how life has been working through Covid-19. We talk about some of his worries as an adult, his long term goals, and the hobbies he's enjoying now or plans to in the future. If you want to message Cody with questions about becoming an Officer or anyth...

I had the opportunity to sit down and talk with an actual, real life adult this week! Keith Williams is an entrepreneur who has started multiple businesses, read hundreds of books, and been one of my mentors for most of my life. There's so much you can learn from him, but this episode doesn't do him justice.

This week I read Atomic Habits by James Clear. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to form great habits and get rid of their bad ones. The book is jam packed with rad information and anecdotes, so I couldn't fit it all in one video. What I talk about barely even scratches the surface, so definitely grab this book and read it for yourself. Let me know what you think and what you want me to try next! https://www.instagram.com/expeditiontotry/ https://www.facebook.com/expeditiontotry/ ht...

Had the opportunity to talk with my buddy Max this week. He and I have been friends since the 8th grade, but I'm still learning more about him all the time. It was rad to be able to discuss the future with him and see where he wants to go with his life. He voices his main concerns about becoming an adult and discusses his thoughts on balancing work with your hobbies and personal time. We hope you enjoy this episode!

This week I read "Screw Being Shy" by Mark Metry. This book was written for individuals dealing with social anxiety, much like Mark was for much of his life. The book is full of anecdotes, scientific studies, and genuinely helpful information that anyone can use. Whether you're socially anxious or just curious about the science behind how diet, exercise, meditation, and other aspects of life can drastically change your outlook on life, this book is for you. I highly suggest investing in this boo...

It's been 2 months since this journey towards starting a podcast and YouTube channel began. A lot has changed in very little time, so I wanted to share a little of that with you so you're not out of the loop. This episode quickly describes where I see the podcast and YouTube channel going from this point forward. I'm super excited to continue growing with this and I can't wait to share it all with you.

You ever just listen to someone complaining and you're like "This is so pointless. Why are you wasting my time?" Well that's what we're talking about today. Why are you spending so much time complaining about such a small thing? We all do it, but maybe we can all be a little more aware of it now. You can boost your viewing experience by seeing our beautiful faces on YouTube or you can continue listening to the audio (probably for the best) Check out The Kings of Nothing on Spotify Find Expeditio...

I sit down with the Ancient Greek statesman, orator, and general of Athens Pericles to discuss politics and the meaning of life. Just kidding. I met another kid at a party and we have a conversation about his journey as a PPL major at Binghamton, why it's pointless to plan too far ahead, jellyfish farming, and the future of computers. The future is going to be absolutely wild! Give Quarters of Change some love on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/artist/0mnruuV4CcKu7Ux7kBZ5sa?si=r8BoFUSKQL2_8FKYS...

I talk with Liam, a student I met a few days prior at a "networking event". We talk about his life and the choices he's made on his path to figure out what he wants to do with his life. What would he do if money was no issue? Someone contact Elon Musk and get this kid a job!

My housemate TJ and I discuss his life as a PhD student studying philosophy, his career choices, hobbies, and passions in an attempt to make some sense of our lives. What are you supposed to say when the cashier asks you if you'd like a receipt? How do you do taxes? What book can I read to become an adult? None of this makes any sense to us.

I talk with one of my housemates about how he feels about his current situation post graduation and how he feels about the future. He's just one example of how confusing this time period is for everyone. See how he chose his path to be an English teacher and how he tries to balance work as well as his hobbies without getting burnt out and fully investing all his time and effort into one thing.
