This episode, I got curious about a topic that has been asked about, joked about, and sometimes even feared in my case – becoming a father. I sat down with a friend who’s a new father and asked about the planning before during and after having a child. So whether you're a dad, planning to become one, or simply interested in the topic, stick around. Hopefully, this is an insightful one.

What are you passionate about? Money? Love? shiny objects? whatever it is, should it (or better yet can it) last for a long time? if so, how long? Me and a musically talented friend, Omar, touched on passions a lot throughout this conversation, from alcohol and how it connected him to his youth, to his treatment producing music to women. We ask ourselves if there’s more to the passions that we have, and what it might mean. should we succumb to these passions? or are they a sign of greater purpose?
