Small Talk, Long Talk with Anthony Tran

Let's dive deep on our first official Long talk with Darren O'Donnell. Now that we know Darren from the first 3 parts I thought it would be interesting to dive into a question about how you would react if your hypothetical (or non-hypothetical) children decided they wanted to pursue an unconventional career. The question is always a juicy one to understand people's underlying thoughts. This end our ark with Darren and it was a wonderful time.

Now that we've gotten to know Darren O'Donnell from the first 2 parts of Episode 1 (but really an Ark and Journey) we break into some small talk about Darren's support from his parents and sacrifices made as a result. Stay tuned for next week when we dive into a long talk about hypothetical children that want to pursue the arts.

Darren O'Donnell is back for part 2 of his story and background. This story episode explores Darren's work in depth with kids on Haircuts by Children and his work with the elderly on All the Sex I've Ever Had. Both amazing and interesting projects!Stay tuned for next episode where we dive into STLT style questions - After knowing Darren's story, what would you ask him?Learn more about Darren O'Donnell http://www.darrenodonnell.ca and Mammalian Diving Reflex https://mammalian.ca before next episode!

Reluctant good friend Angela Oh is back this week for Part 2 of the 2 part episode. We continue the discussion about my definition of success - although purposely broad I always check with it to ensure I'm moving in the right direction. Angela and I met in highschool and have reluctantly stayed friends until today, jokes aside she has always been a great friend and continues to be today. She typically provides great insights and exemplifies the small talk, long talk sort of discussions that we have when we meet up. The friendship stands as a testament that people who you care for somehow tend to stick around in life. Angela joins in again today in Episode 9 Part 2 to talk about our definition of success at this point in time and why we have a different vested interest in other people's success, and if University rankings matter very much in hindsight. I learned a lot about a long time friend in a short period of time with the questions posed and I hope you can do the same as well while listening - so enjoy!

One of my longest standing reluctant best friends Angela Oh joins us this week. We met in high school back in grade 10 and were close friends until shortly after graduating where we discussed that neither of us would likely have the time or effort to remain good friends since we no longer were in proximity ... yet ... here we are 6 years later. Angela and I continuously have interesting discussions as we have grown throughout the years. The friendship stands as a testament that people who you care for somehow tend to stick around in life. Our discussion today exemplifies the small talk, long talk sort of discussions that you can explore despite knowing someone for years on end since everyone is constantly growing and changing. Angela joins today in Episode 9 Part 1 to talk about what makes us feel like we're back in Toronto and our definition of success at this point in time. I learned a lot about a long time friend in a short period of time with the questions posed and I hope you can do the same as well while listening - so enjoy!
