Listen to Matthew and Danila discuss tiptoeing into a hot tub in the snow up at Mt. Rainer’s Paradise cabins. Sounds like an unexpected convo for two guys in the foundation industry! Well, there’s no shortage of tool and industry talk. Chainsaws, Sawzall, and impact drills. Listen for personal preference and life experience. What about the shutdown of the Alaskan crab season?! If that doesn’t affect you, maybe the topic of ‘range anxiety’ being experienced by EV owners will.

Ever wondered about the superpowers hidden in the minutia of everyday life? Let Matthew and Jay enlighten you on how the contents of our pockets and our perception of time wield more influence than you might think. We promise an insightful journey through the seemingly trivial aspects of our daily existence and their profound effects, from the power to stop time in its tracks to the simple joy that springs from witnessing life's small wonders. Together, we'll navigate the omnipresent role of technology, sharing close calls on construction sites and how our smartphones can lead us astray in shopping malls. Listen in as we tackle the critical need to remain present and aware, despite the siren call of our devices.
Join us as we tackle the unexpected health and behavioral consequences of our mobile companions. From the subtle art of avoiding "text neck" to the necessity of disconnecting for our well-being, we've got personal anecdotes and strategies to keep you connected—with respect. Mat and Jay also wax lyrical about the paradox of live streaming – it's a delightful distraction that can transport us to the culinary paradise of a cooking show or the sun-kissed shores of a Hawaiian beach, yet we can't forget the irreplaceable nature of in-person interactions. Discover how we balance the allure of the digital domain with the tactile world around us, fostering joy without losing touch with reality. It's a conversation that promises to connect the dots between virtual escapes and genuine presence, all while keeping you engaged and entertained.
