Another week, another Lads & Lamps episode! Chad & Eric discuss what it takes to turn your life into a story worth telling. Not sure what that means? That's fair, I feel like that's fair..Stories, movies, and riveting novels are not written about people who live a life full of contentment. Who repeat the same actions, day in and day out, and don't take the leap towards challenging themselves. So, how can we reframe our mindset when we encounter adversity? Listen in on today's episode to learn more from Donald Miller's book, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years Lamp of the Week: Stepping Out Stork LampView this lamp hereDrinks of the Week:Watermelon Breeze - courtesy of Lillyanne V.

Welcome back, lads & lampers! This week, Chad & Eric discuss *drum roll please* SOCIAL SECURITY! Everyone in the country should know about it since it accounts for 6.2% of every one of your paychecks. However, today we shine light on what it truly is, where it came from, and how it could be MUCH better. Not sure what Social Security is? Grab your latest paystub, and look for FICA, SS, SWT, or OASDI. See it? Yes, that's your contribution to our country's Social Security program! Love it or hate it, we're discussing it in this week's episode!Lamp of the Week: AJ Table LampView this lamp hereDrinks of the Week:Coffee & CreamerChai Tea & Milk(Dry week this week :) )Would You Rather:Be toilet paper or tissue paper?Have diarrhea the day of a massive presentation at work, or your entire vacation?Thanks for listening this week!
