In this week's episode, Eddie delves into the world of officiating weddings. He addresses a question from a math professor who's been asked to officiate a wedding and is seeking advice on certification and tips for the role.

From there, we dive into a personal reflection about radio shows, comedians, friends, and role models. And finally, we’ll explore the value of creating and self-expression, navigating the challenge of being noticed while finding the courage to stand out.

In this episode of "Doing the Best We Can," I answer a question from a listener who is a new stay at home dad. I also draw out a really intense analogy between an underwater freediver and the challenges and pressures of parenting. We talk about vulnerability and community support, urging fellow stay-at-home parents, like our listener, to reach out to their own "rescue divers.” It’s an analogy filled week! --- -⁠LISTENER SURVEY! ⁠ -Advice questions? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠or at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠eddie@eddiekaufholz.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-If you'd like to ⁠⁠sponsor Doing the Best We Can ⁠⁠(and why wouldn't you?),⁠⁠ fill this out!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Newsletter,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ please and thank you ⁠⁠ -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send feedback + have your project shared⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Old newsletters and podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Eddie's ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠ --- --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/doing-the-best-we-can/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/doing-the-best-we-can/support Learn more about your ad choices.

Among Teddy's many hats, he shares insights about his role as an entrepreneur and business owner. Eddie and Teddy, who amusingly share rhyming names, engage in an open conversation about the practicalities of turning a dream into reality, the essential steps involved, and how to assess if owning a business aligns with one's aspirations. +North Lime Coffee & Donuts (Post a picture and tag us!) --- Advice questions? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me here ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠or at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠eddie@eddiekaufholz.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-This show is a proudly a part of the That Sounds Fun Network!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Newsletter,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ please and thank you ⁠⁠ -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Send feedback + have your project shared⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Old newsletters and podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ -Eddie's ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/doing-the-best-we-can/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/doing-the-best-we-can/support Learn more about your ad choices.
