Hello, I'm Eddie, this is Doing the Best We Can. This show (and the matching newsletter) is about you and me finding ways to traverse life together. Some of those ways will be random/small/silly, and some will be big/brave/scary. But every week we'll dive in, have a conversation, and maybe even learn something about ourselves.
Today's finale is quite a ride: I share a crazy story, say goodbye in my own way, laugh with Uncle Jimmy and play some old songs.

Join me on a thought-provoking journey as I delve into the interplay of life's unrelated events that find a place in the middle of our mental Venn Diagram.

In this episode of "Doing the Best We Can," I answer a question from a listener who is a new stay at home dad. I also draw out a really intense analogy between an underwater freediver and the challenges and pressures of parenting. We talk about vulnerability and community support, urging fellow stay-at-home parents, like our listener, to reach out to their own "rescue divers.” It's an analogy filled week! --- -LISTENER SURVEY! -Advice questions?

This week, as a little post-script to the financial series, Eddie sits down (live and in his den) to have a chat with his friend and dinner guest, Teddy Ray. Among Teddy's many hats, he shares insights about his role as an entrepreneur and business owner. Eddie and Teddy, who amusingly share rhyming names, engage in an open conversation about the practicalities of turning a dream into reality, the essential steps involved, and how to assess if owning a business aligns with one's aspirations. +North Lime Coffee & Donuts (Post a picture and tag us!) --- Advice questions?
