Keepin' It Candid With Kyle Hollis

We had a surprise guest join us this week! The one and only Sandy Bass was in town for the weekend and he joined Brian and myself for the pod. We discussed some very different topics during this session but when the content is flowing you just gotta role with it! Please tune in to learn more about Sandy's role with The Human Rights Campaign and how they are preparing for the upcoming election. We also discuss how we express our emotions and what may get in the way of us opening up with others.

It feels like it was just a few months ago when Jonathan, Brian, and I sat down to talk about our 2019 resolutions. And here we are back a full year later to look back on another year and make some forward progress into this new decade.

This week's episode is a continuation of episode 46. We wrap up the remaining democratic and republican presidential nominees and who we would compare them to in the Dragon Ball Z series.

This week we look at every Presidential Candidate and compare them to Dragon Ball Z characters. Can you guess which character we chose for your favorite candidate??

The band is back together and it is now January 2020! We connect a little about watching different movies off of each other's recommended list but that barely happened. Next, we pivot to current events where no one has an opinion worth listening to. We did come away learning we know very little about the democratic presidential candidates, which leads into our next episode...

I don't know about you but 2019 went by pretty quickly for me! I had my foot on the gas the entire year and things only sped up as the year progressed. In this last episode of the year/decade Sandy joins Jonathan and I and we do a quick reflection on the progress we made from 2010 to the end of 2019.

I really can't believe that we are about to wrap up another decade in a few days! A lot has happened in ten years and we all have grown  a lot but today's episode focuses on our favorite movies that came out in the last ten years. Once you hear Jonathan, Brian, and myself go over our movie lists, you will notice that we each have a theme that seems to speak to us. Leave us a comment letting us know your top ten movies of the decade!

Who doesn't love a little controversy around the holidays? I know I sure do! Peloton released a commercial that received a lot of backlash. Was it warranted or were people overreacting? Listen to this week's episode to hear our thoughts!

Does dying scare you? What does it mean to be alive and what happens when we cease to exist? Jonathan and I break it down as best as we can this week.

We got a full house for this week's episode! Brian and Shannon join Jonathan and myself and we talk about how to power through those tough times in our life. This episode is dedicated to mental fortitude and what it takes to overcome those seemingly impossible moments. Since it is the weekend before Thanksgiving, we also discuss what we are thankful for at the end of the episode.

This week I go into full blown Karen mode and demand to speak to Fairfax County's Department of Taxation's manager. Justice shall be served and this ticket shall be paid! Jonathan and I also catch up on our new life changes and talk about a movie called Parasite.  Be sure to subscribe or I'll speak to your manager as well.

New job, no job, slow job. We decided to flip our lives completely upside down and leave our old jobs and now we are uncomfortable. Tune in this week to see how the hell we plan on dealing with these major life changes.

Are you an early bird or a night owl? Does that play any part into success or is productivity no longer defined by "standard business hours"? Kyle and Jonathan talk through how to approach both lifestyles.

Episode 35 brings us to Andrea and I's wedding day. In this episode, my cousins and I are getting prepared in the morning and we reflect on our childhood and how good it is to be together again. This episode features my cousins Josiah and Corey. Sandy was getting ready while we recorded but he will be featured on the next episode.

In episode 34 I am joined by Brian, Shannon, and Jonathan. We start on a random topic and end up discussing tipping, which turns out to be far more interesting. When should you tip for different services? There are times when it feels like you are in a grey area and do not know what is appropriate. We try to figure that out in this episode. Enjoy and be sure to rate the show with 5 stars lol.

This week we present you with a conversation on how to improve communication at work, with friends, and with significant others. This is actually a very involved topic, as we soon learn, and only touch on it from a broad perspective. Let us know your thoughts and don't forget to subscribe and rate us on your favorite podcast app!

This discussion is all about us trying to find peace. This can be finding a sense of peace within ourselves or balancing our hectic lives while still making time to unwind. Sometimes it takes, days, months, years to find peace. Stepping outside of your usual routine can help you find the peace you've been chasing for all this time.

This week we started discussing the way in which we interact with our friends. Do we take the time to celebrate our love for one another? Why wait for a special event when we can celebrate on any day!

And we're back after two weeks off! Come find out what the crew has been up to while the podcast was on hiatus. We also discuss popular television shows that influenced us during our most formative years. What show taught you valuable lessons duting your childhood?

One jam packed Sunday will not stop Jonathan and I from bringing you your weekly dose of content. This week is all about time management! We talk about how to make the most of your time even when you are facing less than ideal circumstances.
