#30...The Work of Connection (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Pour It On , co-hosts Shaun Emerson, Chris Lozier, and Ben Feller explore what it actually takes to build and maintain meaningful human connection as adults. From emotional family transitions to Backroads trips, the hosts examine how depth in relationships doesn't happen by accident; it requires deliberate effort, intentionality, and a willingness to step outside our comfort zones.

#29...Self-talk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Pour It On , co-hosts Ben, Shaun, and Chris explore the silent, pervasive force of self-talk—the internal story we carry about who we are, how we are doing, and where we fall short.

Rather than falling into rigid gender tropes or dismissing traditional roles entire
