another day, another attempt at parkour. this lesson was focused on building up the things i learned last time so i can start stringing them together next time. 

whoever called me a cave slug in the most recent podcast comments was absolutely correct.

Melissa goes to a yoga class in a winter storm, Taha is on his way to 100 push ups, and Sabrina has learned to get out of bed in the morning. 

Yes, it's deeply unfortunate that we talk about fitness right after our previous episode on the linkedin hustle, but this is the Grindâ„¢ (AIP edition).

we tried to make bread without a recipe

when taha was in canada, we tried to film a video about sliced bread and it involved taha and sabrina making bread without a recipe while melissa supervised (because she knows how to make bread).

it ended up getting way too chaotic and the rest of the video didn't pan out. 

but we did get this silly little sequence out of it. enjoy!

PatPod 26. You Need to Eat a Carolina Reaper (Sorry)

We're trying something a little different this podcast. We wanted to give a peek behind the curtain and let y'all sit in on an editorial meeting (because we ran long in a previous meeting and needed to talk about it while also recording a podcast). Learn how we decide the titles and thumbnails and how we make plans that will almost inevitably get derailed when we enter production. Let us know what you think of it!
