The person we want to spend the most time with and we care the most about doesn’t get to see the best version of ourselves.” --- Josh, quoting Stasia “That’s the cool thing about podcasting. You get to have these deep conversations.” --- Josh “Before these couples even get into [their creative project], they recognize their complementary skillsets.” --- Stasia “If I have to pay taxes to the federal government with anyone, I’m glad it’s with you.” --- Abbie “The last thing social media should ever be is a point of contention.” --- Josh On growing an engaged social media following: “Don’t be a jerk.” --- Josh “By being yourself, you’re more inclined to connect with the people you want to connect with.” --- Stasia “I just really try to share authentically the stories that I care about.” --- Josh “I use Instagram as a very curated version of how I see things.” --- Josh “You Instagram is your space to do what you want with it.” --- Stasia “Ultimately you have to understand what that means. If being you is that you just want to share what’s important to you, you also have to know that it’s okay if maybe your account doesn’t grow, or maybe you don’t get the same numbers other people do. But that’s okay, because the people that do come through are really quality people in your life.” --- Josh “I put myself in this box of creative versus not creative. This year, I basically said I’m not going to think of myself this way anymore.” --- Stasia “I just wanted to let myself out of my internal noncreative box I had put myself in.” --- Stasia “You almost have to give yourself permission to let yourself explore [your creative passions].” --- Stasia “Your creativity can look wildly different from someone else’s, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t count or it’s not valid.” --- Ashley “There were always some topics I never used to write about because I was afraid of what would happen if I did.” --- Abbigail Mini Book Club Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert Will It Fly? by Pat Flynn A View of the Lake by Beryl Singleton Bissell The Long-Shining Waters by Danielle Sosin Roots & Sky by Christie Purifoy The Anne of Green Gables series

As we’ve mentioned before Stasia is a CPA so this is a busy travel time of the year for her and that means I’m flying solo again in the intro while she is...literally...in the air flying home. And I am so happy for her to be coming home because frankly...I really miss her when she’s gone. She is my best friend in the world and my evening just aren’t the same....or as funny without her. That same kind of friendship is what immediately comes to mind as I look back on our interview with our guests for Ep. 9 of The Our First Drink Podcast, Jonny and Michelle Hoffner of Paper Antler. They are a super talented husband and wife photography duo who since 2008 have been traveling the world capturing gorgeous images for numerous weddings in addition to Pixar, The Huffington Post, Satchel & Page, and Doomtree Records to name a few. But most importantly they are unabashedly best friends and doting parents to their daughter, Dottie. It was such a pleasure to meet these two in person a couple of months ago because they are one of those couples you meet and can instantly tell that they really, REALLY like each other. And that is why we are so happy to have them as our guests this week. If you follow these two on Instagram @paperantler...and you totally should...it is crystal clear how much fun they have with each other and now with their daughter. So we were really curious to learn about what the secret to their relationship is. In this episode Why starting a relationship as close friends is hard to beat. How getting outside of your normal environment can help you see someone in a totally different way. How having a baby has changed their perspective on their business and their professional identity. Inspiration that comes from watching your partner do something that takes real gumption. The importance of liking each other in your relationship Celine Dion karaoke...your heart WILL in fact go on. Our First Drink Couples Quiz Who is the CEO and who is the COO? What's more important to you...experience or accomplishment? Who is the straight man and who is the comedian?

Since 2008 we've been your friendly husband + wife photography duo, traveling the world to capture the beauty and endurance of transient moments.

A lot of couples these days have a period of time in their lives where they’re dating long distance or someone is traveling for work (like Stasia is this week) and so they have the task of trying to maintain their relationship over things like the phone, texts, and skype. And it's definitely not always easy. Fortunately, most couples don’t start their relationship that way. Usually there’s a fair amount of in-person time before you deal with anything long distance. However, without giving too much away our guests for Episode 8 of the Our First Drink Podcast, Bryan and Ashley Minear, had a lot of ground to cover before they could finally share their first drink in person after meeting on eHarmony. This interview went way over our normal interview time, but we had so much fun with their story that we just couldn’t cut it down. ourfirstdrink.com/episode8 In this episode Designing One Direction and Frozen Fatheads - enough said. eHarmony marriage bonds despite bitter college rivalries.
