Trying To Be Better with Joel and Steve

TTBB 120 - Riddikulus!

Joel and Steve have one last blowout before Joel has to... Go Back To Work! 

Steve has to get over a thing.  They both saw the Barbie movie.  Joel saw some great concerts.  They discuss truly important questions such as: could a Bon Scott-era AC/DC tribute act save us all?  Unlikely - but Selena Gomez just might.

Regardless - Joel and Steve both are so grateful to their dedicated fans that they'd love to have you Venmo them!  Email ttbbpodcast@gmail.com for details!

TTBB 118 - Libby Brown!

Joel and Steve are joined by Steve's sister Libby Brown!  Libby has had a an interesting career spanning journalism, public policy and high-tech, most recently in the identity and authentication division of Microsoft. I've you've ever signed into an Xbox or Office 365 account - you've used one of the things she managed/developed!  

On top of that, she's a genuinely cool person - and it's about damn time Steve got it together enough to get her on the pod!

TTBB 117 - Dead To The Core

Joel and Steve de-brief about their Dead & Co. experiences in Boulder from the last weekend.  Both have had profound experiences at these (and related) events - so to get to do it one more time was a really special thing!

Even if (maybe especially if) 'The Dead' aren't your bag, stick around for this conversation.  The bottom line of the whole scene is very simply stated:

There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert!
