During some recent travel, we spent some time with Joe Rogan's podcasts with Billy Bob Thornton and Lionel Ritchie. Both were great episodes and it turns out there's quite a common thread between the two along with some tremendous wisdom.

Food is such a part of our lives besides what fuels our bodies. It fuels our soul, our relationships (when done properly) and helps make life worth living.

We talk about great meals, bad meals, conversations around meals and much more - and yes, when we talk about Coors Light from Smokey & The Bandit - I know it was original Coors - not light. Whoops!

The Doobie Brothers have an album "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits". A great record but even better title as you will see how that fits in this episode. As you listen, ask yourself: Am Am I convicted about something or am I justifying?

    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.
