The conversation starts with me discussing live streaming and the awkward moments that can happen. I reminisce about recording a podcast episode together 10 years ago and reflect on how our podcasting journeys began. We then talk about selling items on Facebook Marketplace and the convenience of having backstock of household items. The conversation shifts to Costco, where we discuss the benefits of shopping there, including the variety of products and the return policy. We end by discussing the transition to suburban life and the reasons behind it. We explore the pros and cons of living in suburban areas and the desire for a balance between city and nature. We also talk about our experiences living in different environments and the compromises we’ve made. The conversation delves into topics such as the innate human drive for more and the concept of free will, touching on Eastern philosophy, meditation, and the nature of reality.
