2026/10/06

I sat down with Alanna, known to her students as Miss O and to everyone else as the Chicken Lady of Queens, to talk about the working farm she built with her high school students with autism — just 15 minutes outside Manhattan. We got into how a destroyed garden became a 1,250-pound-a-year food operation, what a typical day actually looks like for her students, and the moment a kind stranger gifted a $20,000 chicken coop after theirs collapsed in the snow.Meet AlannaAlanna teaches special education

2026/09/29

I sat down with Natalie, a former member of the University of Tennessee's Pride of the Southland marching band, to finally understand what SEC marching band life is actually like — the auditions, the game-week grind, the game tape reviews (yes, just like football), and a blackout Thriller halftime show she still hasn't stopped thinking about. We also got into the time her band traveled to London and performed on Tower Bridge.Meet NatalieNatalie played clarinet in UT's marching band and concert

I sat down with Charlie and Tara, the real-life fossil hunters behind Downstream Digs, to learn how a date idea turned into a full-blown obsession with digging up shark teeth in Florida's Peace River. We got into how they taught themselves the craft, what it actually takes to find a fossil versus just a cool rock, and yes — the gators.Meet Charlie and TaraCharlie and Tara run Downstream Digs, where they share their fossil hunting adventures on the Peace River in Florida.

9. Hyrox, Wall Balls, & The Pain Cave with Matt Martinez

Out of My Depth ·

2026/09/15

I sat down with Matt, a respiratory therapist and Hyrox athlete, to finally understand what Hyrox actually is — eight brutal stations, a kilometer run between each, and a level of intensity that somehow attracts thousands of people (literally — tickets for one Chicago race sold out in 15 minutes). We got into training with no fancy equipment, competing as a dad, and his own podcast, What's the CO2.Meet MattMatt is a respiratory therapist and self-described fitness addict who found Hyrox through the

2026/09/08

I sat down with my friend Haleigh, a speech-language pathologist, to finally understand what her job actually is — and it's so much more than helping kids pronounce their Rs and Ss. We talked about everything from feeding therapy (yes, Cheerios and lollipops are actual tools of the trade) to the quiet, powerful "eureka moments" that make the hardest days worth it.Meet HaleighHaleigh has worked in speech-language pathology since 2020, across both private practice and the school system.

2026/09/01

I sat down with Joe from Fantasy Football Analyst to talk fantasy football — what it actually is, how PPR and standard scoring differ, and what separates a good draft from a great one. But the real story is how a high school hobby turned into a 130K-follower platform, complete with DMs from NFL players and a Zoom call with Tom Brady.Meet JoeJoe runs Fantasy Football Analyst, a fantasy football content platform he started almost by accident after his girlfriend convinced him to share his personal

2026/08/25

I sat down with Allison, an aquarist and content creator, to talk about the surprisingly complex world of building aquariums — from the nitrogen cycle every beginner needs to understand, to recreating real river and lake environments in a 10-gallon tank. We also got into the wild, unexpected side of fish content online, including her own run-in with rage bait and internet drama over... botanical tea bags.Meet AllisonAllison runs Allison Aquascapes, where she builds natural, low-tech aquariums

5. Leadership, Play in Work, & The Muppets with Holly...

Out of My Depth ·

2026/08/18

I sat down with Holly, a doctoral candidate whose research blends her lifelong Muppet fandom with the study of play in organizational leadership. We got into her master's thesis, which found that Kermit the Frog — beloved, gentle Kermit — actually displayed some genuinely harmful leadership behaviors backstage. We also talked about what "play" really means for adults at work, why it's not the same as forced fun or icebreakers, and how Jim Henson became her gold-standard example of playful leadership

I sat down with Ava, a real-life performer at Sight & Sound Theatres, to talk about what it's actually like performing full-time on a 300-foot stage — including the 462 performances, implementing Chekhov acting method in real time, and the fact that there are 6 sheep (and camels) hanging out backstage during a show set in Jericho.Meet AvaAva performs at Sight & Sound and is also part of their program for college-age performers.

2026/08/04

I sat down with Aidan, a real-life Disney cast member who works on Smuggler's Run — and somehow ended up learning that operating the Millennium Falcon is basically like operating heavy machinery, that there's a mysterious thing called "the Batuuan Mile," and that Disney once got a little too immersive for its own good.Meet AidanAidan worked as a cast member at Disney, running Star Wars: Smuggler's Run — which meant going through actual character development training alongside the rest of the Star

2026/08/04

I sat down with my brother Josiah, a real-life firefighter, to talk about everything I still don't understand about his job — from what he actually gets called out for (spoiler: it's mostly not fires) to what it's like living in the firehouse. He also made a genuinely convincing case for why you should not call 911 if a cat gets stuck in a tree.Meet JosiahJosiah is a firefighter — and my brother, which somehow hasn't stopped me from knowing almost nothing about his day-to-day job.

2026/08/04

I sat down with a real-life prosecutor to talk about jury selection — how you actually pick 12 strangers to decide someone's fate, what makes a juror a "no," and why gut instinct matters more than you'd think. We also ran through some myth-or-real courtroom drama questions, because apparently true crime documentaries have taught me almost nothing.Meet AddisonAddison is a prosecutor who walked me through everything from voir dire to peremptory challenges — the vocabulary I've heard a hundred times on
