In this episode of Main Character Podcast, Dain and Brandon start by exploring family dynamics, being a landlord, and the relationship with money (and people). Dain shares his love of improv comedy; a skill everyone should learn. Throughout the discussion, he gives us humorous anecdotes, life lessons, and personal experiences, ranging from jokes about genies to the importance of communication in relationships. 


Dain reflects on his journey through football, where he learned you can control two things, your attitude and your effort. We learn about chemistry, both in his college pursuits and in his love story with his wife, Miranda. He reviews the challenges of balancing personal passions with practical decisions. Ultimately, Dain leaves listeners with a powerful message about kindness and treating others well.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
