104 - Roundtable on High School Graduation Advice, Why You Should Look Into Being an Elevator Mechanic, and How an Old N64 Could Have Relieved Me of Soul Crushing Student Loan Debt (But Didn't)

A lot of the advice we get at 18 can sound obvious, trite and generic. You can only hear platitudes like “stay humble and work hard,” or “find a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life” so many times before you start tuning out the adults. The subject of the conversation today is about advice we wish we had known after graduating high school.

101 - Nate Davidson on being a paramedic, being a contingency planner, and where to go during a zombie apocalypse

In this pilot episode, I’m going to be interviewing Nate Davidson, who is a friend of mine and who is also a paramedic. In our conversation, we talk about what its like to be a paramedic – not necessarily the exciting stuff where you must rescue people from car accidents or whatnot—but what exactly happens in the hours between 9-1-1 calls. On slow nights you could be waiting around for hours. On others you might be awakened out of a deep sleep in order respond to a drug overdose.
