The three most common places people meet others (including their romantic partners) are church, work, and the bar. So, more than likely, you may go out to a bar. But what are you supposed to do when you're there? How do you meet people? How do you make friends? What do you avoid?
Well I don't know the answer to these questions. I am so uneducated when it comes to navigating nightlife, but Nana has some ideas.
Nana Amfo is a cohost for the CruiseLine Podcast and the Creative Director and Cofounder of the fast growing fashion and lifestyle brand Alpha Gang.
He is a good person to talk to about this because he spends a lot of time reflecting on popular culture and what resonates with the general public.
In this episode expect to learn about:
- how to navigate nightlife
- why people should or shouldn’t go out
- the importance of hearing from God
- how to balance having a lot of acquaintances but few friends
- the impact alcohol has on social situations
- and the power of being yourself.
Remember to be yourself and that quantity of relationships matters much less than quality.

Emily Farley is a professional with 16 years of experience in the public health sector. She currently serves as the Director of Community Engagement at the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center. Her knack lies in fostering genuine connections and effective communication.

Emily was perfect for the podcast because of her ability to tell stories that connected people together. I believe that stories are a super power, and if you know how to properly tell a story, then you can create community, connection, and wonder.
In this episode, you can expect to hear:

• how to ask questions with empathy
• how to create an environment where people feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable
• the art of graciously presenting other peoples' stories
• how to navigate work and personal identity (& if they should even be separate)
• why leadership can feel burdensome and how to respond
• methods to make you a better listener (and care more about people)
• and what book we would write if we had the chance

She is an alumna of the Leadership Lawrence class of 2019 and an active member of the 2023 class of Kansas Emerging Leaders. When not driving her professional pursuits, Emily embraces the busyness of life with her two children, two beagles, and her supportive husband.
Think about a great story someone recently told you. Bottle it up, and then challenge yourself to share it to someone else and pass it on.

Jeremy Newman is an educator, business owner, pilot, endurance athlete, and adventurer. He grew up in North Dakota, traveled the world, and found his way to Kansas.
Growing up in a foster home, Jeremy learned how to make deep connections in a loving yet ever-changing family. This episode was really important to me because I believe that most of our social confidence starts in our family. When we're young, we get to see how our parents treat each other, we learn how to make friends with siblings, and we interact with all different types of personalities at family events.
Being a part of the foster system could be a setback for some, but it made Jeremy more attuned to the importance of connection.
In this episode you can expect to hear about:

• Jeremy's adoption story
• how he decided to move across the world
• what inspired him to become a teacher
• how to create adventure in your own backyard
• why language limits our world
• one way to become more confident in class
• and what I think the podcast adventure has been like so far.

Family is a gift. I'm grateful that Jeremy shared his story and I hope it inspired you to reflect on your's.

Allow me to introduce you all to one of my favorite people, my mom (Kim Miller).
If you want to hear someone who is a paragon of kindness, wisdom, and endurance, then you came to the right place. My mom has exemplified work ethic, determination, and imagination. But, one of the things we focus most on in this episode is how she showcased to me the importance of living your life with supportive people around you.
Kim is an active member of Al-Anon, NAMI, and Breast Cancer Support Groups. When I was a kid, I saw her choose to spend her time going to groups. Choosing to spend time around people definitely rubbed off on me.
The past year has been quite tough for our family, especially my mom. In January we learned that she had cancer in several parts of her body, including her skull. It's been incredibly scary, draining, and overwhelming. But it's given me motivation to work on the podcast because she listens to it while she's resting. And if I can't be there in person to comfort her then the least I can do is be in her ears.
In this episode we talk about:

• the power of support groups
• how to grieve as a family
• my mom's reaction when she was diagnosed with cancer
• why talking about bad news is a tricky thing
• what I think about AA and Al-Anon
• our experience with schizophrenia
• why friends and family of alcoholics need community
• how wrapping words around cancer helps everyone involved.

Keep your head up. If your family is currently navigating hard news, get together and take it day by day. Breathe. Talk about it.
