Daniela and I sit down and read an article of the top 10 reasons why couples get divorced and discuss each one. This was fun because we could really see why on each one of them it could be prevented if caught early on. If you want to avoid divorce you have to actively work on your relationship, otherwise you could join the statistic too.

Juan comes on for another appearance to discuss what he has been up too, his mentality shift and his recent Ayahuasca journey. We have some Termana Tequila and agua frescas as we hang out and talk.  Shout out to Fade Away Barbershop In Plant City FL for hooking up the Teremana Tequila for Juan and I. Both of us get our haircuts there and they are awesome. It's a super clean, friendly environment and getting a nice haircut is so much more than just a haircut. And they take walk ins, so no need for an appointment. 

Daniela and I go over the way that we believe couples should handle their money and how if a couple handles their money a certain way can be beneficial for the future. Financial issues are one of the top causes of divorce and are a sign of problems that exist already or potential problems to come in the future. We go over our best advice for couples and their finances as well as some of our money beliefs.

Daniela and I go over the different red flags to be on the lookout for in a new relationship. These are things that we believe should be avoided because they are early signs of a rocky future. We go over green flags as well and just have fun going over the different ones. If you have any future topics you want us to cover, please comment, or go to the podcast instagram somehowwereadults and send me a message. Comment what red flags you look out for in new relationships.

Daniela and I go over how scheduling things on a shared calendar has made our relationship together better as well as how it improved us personally. It feels like a life hack because before you know it you feel like you have control of your time instead of time having control of you. The calendar that we mention that we use is the Google Calendar if you wanted to use that but whatever you use it has to be convenient or you won't use it. If you want to see us cover another topic for the podcast, let us know! Reach out via social media and send us a message!

Daniela and I sit down to discuss how we both are 100% committed to making our relationship work. We don't have any back up plans and we both give our relationship time and effort. Only one plan and we fully intend to make that one plan work. We go over how this has helped us to stay focused and dedicated to our relationship. If you want to see us cover another topic for the podcast, let us know! Reach out via the instagram page Somehow We're Adults or leave us a comment.

Daniela and I sit down and go over how having regular date nights has been a huge factor in our increasingly busy lives. It seems like you always have so many things to do, as adults, that if you don't focus on intentional date nights that time could pass quicker than you realize and you could grow distant in your relationship. That is why date nights are so important.

Daniela and I sit down to discuss how various hobbies that are separate of each other are important as well as having hobbies that we do together. We go over how they can affect our relationship and our happiness.

Cari and Jake come on the podcast to have some drinks (thanks to Fade Away Barbershop) and chat. Cari tells her story of how she ended up in a wheel chair and how it has impacted her life. Jake, who has been on the podcast before, tells us about how he doesn't know who his parents are from when he went to the social security office. All in all, we had a great time, very many laughs and I learned a lot. If you have been getting any okay looking haircuts and are ready for the best haircut, make sure you check out the podcast sponsor, Fade Away Barbershop. That is where I get my haircut, and I can't recommend them enough.  We had our drinks provided to us for this episode of the podcast by Fade Away Barber shop in Plant City. They just recently started providing the drinks for the podcast and we are super great full for that.

Daniela and I sit down to start the first episode of our couples podcast. What we will be doing is each week her and I pick a subject and try to talk for around 30 mins with that being our focus. We have been together now for over 7 years and we are a younger couple with older souls. We don't claim to be experts but we talk about the things that have helped us. So each week we will pick a subject to talk about and give our perspectives. This is the first of many so enjoy!

The Delong's come on the podcast to have a date night, hangout, have drinks and record a podcast. Steve is a buddy and amazing pop art artist who sells his art at various art shows. Check him out on instagram at Delong Pop Art. Having them on, having drinks was a great time and we did drink a little to much so we had to cut the podcast a little shorter but we really enjoyed having them on. They are great people and have quickly become friends.

Wyatt and Kodey come on for drinks and to hangout. We aren't able to hangout like we used to due to work schedules and life commitments but when we get together it's always a good time. The older that we have gotten the more we value moments like this to come together and just be silly.We had our drinks provided to us for this episode of the podcast by Fade Away Barber shop in Plant City. They just recently started providing the drinks for the podcast and we are super great full for that.

Ryan was a great guest and will for sure be on again in the future.

Hannah is off the grid and has no social media which I believe is impressive. She is currently a jiu jitsu purple belt from a recent promotion and she also works in the financial field. When she was in college she was on the women's rowing team and she beats me up in jiu jitsu. This is her first time on the podcast to talk about a range of subjects and we had a great time. She's an all around badass.

Jake is a good buddy, who I've known for most of high school and since. He has had a very interesting up bringing and maintains a very good outlook on it and has always been a fun hang out. Jake has a dark since of humor and as do I so it's always a good time.

My buddies wanted to hangout and have some drinks and I offered the podcast for this since it is often the best place to just sit and enjoy each others company. It's always a good time chatting with your buddies and we always seem to laugh. Both of these guys have been my friends since early high school where we used to spend the night at each others houses and created a lot of great memories of being dumb then (not much has changed). No one knows you like your boys and we always have a great time when we meet up. Times like these are what makes being an adult truly worth it.

Loser has to wear whatever the winner choices on the 2024 draft.

United States Marine Corps Veteran, currently in the National Guard, former corrections officer, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu purple belt and instructor. Andrew has done a lot of things for his time on earth and he comes on the podcast to try and share his life story. Andrew is an all around great dude and I tried my best to get his timeline of life together as well as to get as many of those stories along the way. It was a very long podcast and I'm sure he will be on in the future again to tell us even more because holy cow this dude has lived a life worthy of a book thus far.

Master Myers runs Freedom Martial Arts in Valrico FL. It is a martial arts school that teaches Taekwondo, Krav Maga, and Brazilian jujitsu. Nick has been doing martial arts for almost all of his life and it just made since for him. It would be his passion that lead him to open up his own school. Nick is great with teaching not only kids, but adults as well. The impact that martial arts have had on him made him want to share with anyone who is willing to learn.

Juan is a father of 3, ordained minister, and all around great guy. Juan has been a friend of mine for close to 4 years and ever since we first spoke we have had a great friendship. Juan is beyond wise in his relationships and he is someone to whom I look up to as a role model for relationships and parenting.

Rob is a jiu jitsu practitioner and former podcaster. Rob is into health and fitness as well as other martial arts. He was previously on the podcast and he comes back on for an update episode and to talk about a multitude of subjects.

Try and pick who you think between the two of us will win at the end of 2024 and check out what the loser will have to do as well.
