Start your weekend off with the latest episode of Dear Stranger. This week, I spoke to Kelsey -- who I met on the road trip after she invited Max and I to Thanksgiving dinner with her family -- and I finally got to get to know this welcoming person on a deeper level.

The second half of Carly and I's conversation is here and it's an emotional one. Listening back to this one, I couldn't stop myself from thinking, "maybe I should edit this part out". But I'm glad I didn't. I hope y'all like this one.

The EMOTIONAL conclusion of Carly's two-parter is here. We both get into it a lot about our past relationships. And I might have shed some tears there towards the end. This one was hard one to listen

About halfway through the trip, we found ourselves spending the weekend in San Antonio. We stayed with one of my cousins who I never really had a relationship with (so naturally we recorded an episode) and visited all the tourist spots (The Alamo as seen below). But this visit wasn’t made for me by all the cool sights and sounds of the city, it was perfect because I got to know one of my family members, I got to tell them I love them to their face, and I got make up for lost time. Having family all over the country (and the world) makes it feel like you’ll never really get the chance to know them. I’m glad I made the effort. After a long ten hour drive, we find ourselves in New Mexico in warm (enough) beds for a quick rest before our adventure continues.

Today, I drove about 3 hours behind the wheel of a bus. I ended up spending Thanksgiving with people I just met and recorded a new episode Dear Stranger. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I hope yours was as exciting and important as mine, and if it wasn’t. It’s still important to remember that gratitude is key when it comes to the rest of your life. Live well.

I've been keeping this under wraps (and kind of secret) for a while now. But I can't any longer. Max (who has been on the podcast twice over the past year) and I have been working on taking the podcast on the road.

Over the next 4 weeks, we're going to be driving his bus (The Dream), which you might have heard him talk about on his episodes of DSAF, across the country.

During this trip, we'll be meeting with people and -- hopefully -- talking and recording episodes with them. When I first started the podcast, I never thought I'd have the opportunity to take it on the road and talk to people face to face instead of having conversations over Skype/Facetime/etc.

Season 4 of Dear Stranger and Friend is going to be the most interesting one yet, and I hope you guys are excited for this journey as much as I am.

This week, I reminisce about with my friend about going to Korea and being responsible for bringing back the most beloved video game character in the history of video games.

It's always fun to catch up with old friends. That's pretty much an obvious statement. But it's always MORE fun to catch up with friends you traveled across the world with. This week, I'm talking to V

One question I continually ask myself is "How do I know if I'm doing the right thing?", and there really isn't a definitive answer to it (not for me anyway). This week, I talk with another former prof
