A Twin Vantage
A Twin Vantage
Roman Grubbs
Memories, choices, experiences, and dreams - we shape them as much as they shape us. Join Roman and Tyler, two thirty-something twins (and best friends) who explore their different perspectives on shared experiences and how that shaped each of their journeys in separate but similar ways. If you're wondering what role people play in creating their own reality and how the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves guides the choices we make, this podcast is for you.

Punishment - wait, I mean discipline (S1, E4)
Raising kids takes a lot of teaching. Teaching sometimes means correction. Correction sometimes means punishment. Roman and Tyler explore their differences in approaches to disciplining children, and how they experienced punishment in their younger years. It's not an easy part of being a dad, and they expose the thinking and difficulties of raising kids. Right and wrong is out the window in this first-part episode.
