No Backup Plan – Nathaniel DrewThe following is a conversation with @moyamawhinney , a vlogger based in Paris. We discussed the challenges and magic of moving to and living in Paris amongst other things.
This was a different kind of podcast episode where we were having breakfast at the same time, it’s more of a “hang with us” kind of experience, I suggest grabbing something to drink or to do, some visually creative project like painting or drawing while you listen.

We also explore the deeper meaning of crisis and what it can teach you about life. Whether you agree with us or not, I promise this is gonna make you think.

This is a conversation with my dad where we discuss growing apart and the tensions that appeared in our relationship as I was becoming an adult, and how we’ve overcome those tensions to become close again. My hope, in sharing this conversation, is to show that there is a better, more emotionally intelligent way for men to communicate with each other. It’s not easy, but it can lead to much deeper, more meaningful relationships. I hope you enjoy.
