The Art of Making Friends

S1E7 - Meet Paul: A Real Pop of Color

In Episode 7, we meet Lisa’s longtime friend, Paul – a former radio industry colleague turned BFF for life. Join us as we reminisce about records Lisa wouldn’t add into rotation, the ingrown toenail incident, Paul’s need for a pop of color and his never-ending obsession with The Strokes. And perhaps it will inspire you to reach out to the friend that has been a real pop of color in your life! Shout out to honorable mentions - Gary Gorman, Joe DeAngelis and WEQX – much, much love. Erin & Lisa went rogue and wore pajamas! You need these in your life. We promise. https://amzn.to/4wOvBbo [https://amzn.to/4wOvBbo] We are an Amazon Affiliate and may make a commission on qualified purchases.

S1E6 - Meet Alexis: Shoots, Ladders and the Game of Life

In this week’s episode, we meet Alexis, Erin’s friend (for over 40 years) and an ally to all canines (for life).  In addition to a lesson on animal taxonomy from Lisa, we share lots of laughs, memories, and the silver linings of a life filled with wins, losses and abundant love.  If you are willing and able to hold on for the ride, lifelong friendships steadily become the foundation for all of your other adventures and challenges.   As our post-Mother’s Day episode, a special recognition to Erin’s Mom, who has not only loved her daughters, but extended that love to their friends, too.  It takes a village.  Love you, JeanO.   Shoutout to True Training Studio for welcoming all-comers to her exhausting yet positive community…even if she makes us lift heavy things - including a baby or two.  We suffer and succeed together.

S1E5 - Meet Todd: Re Todd

In this episode, we talk with Todd - a dermatopathologist, husband, father, friend, ally and Erin’s former business partner.  For about 15 years, Todd and Erin voluntarily imprisoned themselves in a laboratory diagnosing patients with skin cancers and other cutaneous disorders, a fact that has undoubtedly contributed to their friendship, cumulative weirdness and general predilection for silliness.  Their business journey was fueled by willpower, whiskey (only after hours!) and a few warts along the way.  We hope you enjoy the discussion as much as Denise, Erin’s dog, very vocally does throughout the episode.  F**king Todd!   Show note: Todd’s shadow boxes were made in Nampa, Idaho, and not the Yukon Territory.  #MadeInUSA

S1E3 - Erin & Lisa: Go Deep or Go Home

Erin & Lisa play the game, "Let's Get Deep" and pick three cards to ask each other...one Icebreaker, one Deep and one Deeper card. Needless to say...it gets pretty depthy.

S1E2 - Meet Janelle: Another Girl Erin Picked Up In a Bar

In this episode, we meet Janelle - a fellow ginger Erin met at a bar on Block Island. We fact checked the stats and less than 2% of the world's population has natural red hair, making it the rarest hair color in the world - so the chances of these two beauties meeting on a small island off the coast of Rhode Island we have inaccurately calculated to be a bazillion to one. Shout out to Damian Cartier (www.damiancartier.net [http://www.damiancartier.net]) and The Andrew Brothers Dueling Pianos (www.theandrewbrothers.com [http://www.theandrewbrothers.com]) T his episode is loaded with shit you need to know. Literally.
