Let's dive deep on our first official Long talk with Darren O'Donnell. Now that we know Darren from the first 3 parts I thought it would be interesting to dive into a question about how you would react if your hypothetical (or non-hypothetical) children decided they wanted to pursue an unconventional career. The question is always a juicy one to understand people's underlying thoughts. This end our ark with Darren and it was a wonderful time.

Season 1 End - Q&A

Reluctant good friend Angela Oh is back this week for Part 2 of the 2 part episode. We continue the discussion about my definition of success - although purposely broad I always check with it to ensure I'm moving in the right direction. Angela and I met in highschool and have reluctantly stayed friends until today, jokes aside she has always been a great friend and continues to be today. She typically provides great insights and exemplifies the small talk, long talk sort of discussions that we have when we meet up. The friendship stands as a testament that people who you care for somehow tend to stick around in life. Angela joins in again today in Episode 9 Part 2 to talk about our definition of success at this point in time and why we have a different vested interest in other people's success, and if University rankings matter very much in hindsight. I learned a lot about a long time friend in a short period of time with the questions posed and I hope you can do the same as well while listening - so enjoy!

Toronto Vibes, Defining Success and University Rankings Part 2

One of my longest standing reluctant best friends Angela Oh joins us this week. We met in high school back in grade 10 and were close friends until shortly after graduating where we discussed that neither of us would likely have the time or effort to remain good friends since we no longer were in proximity ... yet ... here we are 6 years later. Angela and I continuously have interesting discussions as we have grown throughout the years. The friendship stands as a testament that people who you care for somehow tend to stick around in life. Our discussion today exemplifies the small talk, long talk sort of discussions that you can explore despite knowing someone for years on end since everyone is constantly growing and changing.  Angela joins today in Episode 9 Part 1 to talk about what makes us feel like we're back in Toronto and our definition of success at this point in time. I learned a lot about a long time friend in a short period of time with the questions posed and I hope you can do the same as well while listening - so enjoy!

Rate and Review Small Talk Long Talk at - http://bit.ly/SmalltalkLongtalkStitcher  Ex-Coworker of my first office job and long time friend Joey Qin joins us this week. Since we met at a Canadian Accounting firm in Mississauga during our 4 month co-op term we have remained friends throughout the years. He was always a stone throw away in Waterloo and we would pass the time playing squash, going out for meals, drinking activities and talking about our dating lives. Our discussion today exemplifies the small talk, long talk sort of discussions that we have every now and again when we need to catch up. Our friendship stands as a testament that despite being in different locations and slightly different ages, you should never let that stop you from keeping in touch and reaching out for a great conversation. Joey joins today in Episode 8 to talk about our go-to dating app questions, our idea of a perfect date and the last time we had our minds blown. We shared a bunch of laughs during the episode, and I hope you do as well while listening - so enjoy!

Running friend Luca Giuliano is back this week for Part 2 of the 2 part episode. We continue the discussion about my latest failure in planning a work social - something that had haunted me the nights leading up to and after the event, however, discussing with Luca empowered me to own up to the situation and let it go after learning from it. Luca and I met at Night Terrors Run Crew (NTRC @nightterrorsrun), a Toronto based run crew, 8 months ago we have remained good friends with each other and our entire run crew. Luca has always been a great crewmember - always showing up to runs and bringing the positive vibes. Our discussion today exemplifies the small talk, long talk sort of discussions that we would have on runs or afterwards at post-run brunches. Our friendship stands as a testament that you should always try to put yourself out there and make new friends.Luca joins today in part 2 of episode 7 to continue our talk about my biggest failure, and our must visit travel destinations. I'm hyped to finally have the first of many NTRC members on the podcast, I hope you enjoy!
