Obviously it's a touchy subject but despite our differences of opinion we still manage to love and respect one another. I would ask that you do the same with your fellow humans. I'm seeing far too much negativi...

March 25, 2019 13:06 - 1 hour - 41.4 MB

Wendy and I sat down to review our previous disagreement on air and ended up right back in another one. Maybe that's what this show is now (just kidding). Like last time, I hope we can use these recorded arguments to better understand where we go wrong when communicating, and show others that arguments and disagreements are normal.  We love each other and we are committed to working through our problems but obviously we both still have more work to do. Thanks for listening! Follow me...

#21: Jake & Wendy Fight On Air (serious)

March 17, 2019 13:29 - 1 hour - 70.5 MB

This is not a fun episode. This was an experiment. I asked Wendy if we could record a fight between us the next time we have one because... obviously we are going to have another fight, at least eventually. I hope this is useful to me when I listen back and dissect it. I am trying to become a better communicator and identify what exactly I need to work on. I hope you there is something that can be learned for me and for anyone listening. Maybe we will do a follow up and general relatio...
