Have you ever raced through an airport, heart pounding, as you lugged gifts and dodged holiday travelers? That was me on the way to Tampa, and oh, the stories I have to tell! This episode is packed with the peaks and valleys of our festive season adventures, from my flight fiasco to Lexi's family shenanigans in Maryland. We unwrap the good, the bad, and the hilariously tragic, including the tale of a light-up sign that vanished into the ether. Buckle up for a firsthand account of airport brawls, the anticipation of luxury flying with Delta One, and how online shopping can sometimes lead you down a chimney of disappointment.
Nothing beats the warmth of exchanging gifts that resonate with personal history, much like the anime-inspired ponchos and cherished Bandai Namco figures we unwrapped this holiday. Lexi and I also dive into the sentimental journey of crafting necklaces bearing a piece of our grandmother's legacy, a tradition that tugs at the heartstrings. With mom's visit stirring up the kitchen and the generosity of friends and co-hosts adding to the festive spirit, we reflect on the thoughtful presents and how they've enriched our celebration. Amidst this, we honor cherished memories and share our intentions to keep our grandmother's spirit alive through the coming year.
As the confetti settles on the New Year's festivities, Lexi and I set our sights on the horizons that await. We chat about our ever-expanding travel itineraries and the pursuit of homeownership, all while peppering in our professional aspirations. Our dreams for the podcast flutter like a newly lit barbecue pit, as we muse over the smoky potential of a BBQ business amidst our community's dining dilemma. We also serve up our honest thoughts on the risks of entrepreneurship and the illusions of success painted by social media, underlining the value of experience and the courage to chase dreams—whether they lead to a bustling convention floor or the savory aroma of smoked jackfruit. Join us as we share the aspirations that fuel our fire for the year ahead.
