  • How does Age affect us and our perception?! S2 E25

    This is something my Grandma (Bama) used to say, and it is something I have carried with me all my life. These few words have made a HUGE difference in my life… for the positive… and as I get older and hopefully more “mature” in this life, they take on even more significance and benefit.…

  • Hylan’s Advice Part 2 S2 E24

    The second episode in a series that Rowan and I are doing on the podcast, Nopes and Opes. This podcast can be found most places, including YouTube, Apple, and Spotify. This is a GREAT episode! I DO feel that way about many of the recent episodes, but if you do listen to this episode, you…

  • Friendship S2 E23

    Pretty self-explanatory… This episode actually comes from a question that was posed by our first guest on the podcast, Jade. In one episode of the podcast she asked, “How do you make friends?” Such a simple question, but it was something both Rowan and I struggled to answer… and we were both shocked and more…

  • Laugh Lines & First Times: Hylan’s Introduction to Comedy S2 E21

    Rowan took me to the comedy club where he does stand-up on the open-mic nights… and I HAD A BLAST! It was also the first time Rowan went to the club as a patron and NOT a comic. It was a VERY FUN & SUPER INTERESTING evening and I think this episode captures some of…

  • Failure and Effort S2 E20

    I think Rowan nails it in his introduction. Failure is a key component of success! There is no way around this. We are ALL going to FAIL. Take advantage of the opportunities your failures present and you WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.

  • Hylan Has Got Some Advice!! (Part 1) S2 E18

    This is the first episode in a series where Rowan and I begin to explore the best advice I would like to give to the graduating high school students with whom I work most closely, but the reality is there are lessons in this episode for ALL OF US. I am NOT a great surfer,…

  • What Is Going On With Dating? S2 E17

    This episode starts off as a reaction to a video that Rowan shared with me that was made by Dr. Orion Taraban. In the video, Dr. Taraban talks about the four ways to meet people if you are interested in dating. Even though it starts off as a reaction to the video, it ends with…

  • Defense Mechanisms And How We Use Them S2 E16

    This one is simply an in-depth study where Rowan and I take a deep, cold-hard truth look at ourselves and how we see, interpret, and deal with the world around us. This is the personal study of our own unique psychologies and world views and approaches that I hope draws people into listening to this…

  • Creativity and It’s Importance S2 E15

    This is something of a personal one for me. It was definitely my idea to choose this topic and I am very glad I did. This was a great conversation that covered a lot of different ideas and perspectives that led to some very meaningful, and I would say, beneficial insights. If you listen, I…

  • Am I doing ENOUGH? S2 E14

    This episode came from a conversation I had with my niece. She was telling me she has problems sleeping… and she is so young, only about 18 years. As we talked more, she said, “I never feel like I have done ENOUGH. I always think there is more I SHOULD have done.” I don’t think…
