• Ep. 581: Loving the Idea of Someone

  Have you ever loved the idea of what someone *could* be, more than the person that they actually are? There’s danger in falling in love with someone’s potential. Some people are happy to be challenged by their partners, but there’s a fine line between challenging them to reach their dreams and setting expectations that your partner can’t reach, or never wanted in the first place. You’ll find a lot more peace in letting your partner tell you who they want to be, rather than attempting to force them into being who you wish they were.(This episode is a re-run from September 2023.)Falling in love with someone’s potential [1:55]Putting expectations on how your partner lives their life [3:26]Listen to your partner’s dreams [6:15]Can you be okay if your partner never changes?

• Ep. 580: Is There A Moral Obligation to Watch the News?

  Instagram is rolling out a new feature that defaults to keeping news and political content off of our feeds, and it got us thinking, is it irresponsible to ignore current events? Unfortunately, many news sources are produced with biases, headlines are manufactured to outrage rather than inform, and falsified information is getting harder and harder to differentiate from what’s “real.” And not only that, but after years of getting everything from social media algorithms, we’re all primed to see and hear things we already agree with. Maybe it’s just us, but the “news” doesn’t feel like the news anymore. Is it just us?The “news” isn’t the news anymore [3:10]Manufactured outrage [6:12]People look for things we agree with [7:59]Stories can spiral out of control [11:46]We need stronger critical thinking skills [14:38]There’s just “too much” to keep up with [19:29]Voting without keeping up with current events [22:44]Borrowed information [24:35]How do we know what’s true and what’s real?

• 579: Conversations on Money and Marriage

  No one goes in to a marriage hoping that it’ll fail, but statistics don’t lie, and around half of all marriages end in divorce. With those odds, wouldn’t you want to be protected? Conversations around money and obligation can be uncomfortable, but they’re so important to have before long-term commitment. Once upon a time, we never understood the need for prenups, but life is complicated and shit happens. It’s better to plan for the worst and hope for the best, than to ignore the possibility that things could go wrong and be caught unaware when they do.Family time, only 28 years belated [2:08]Procrastinating wedding planning [10:12]Pre-marriage money questions [14:47]A prenup protects both parties [19:09]Resentment can build without these conversations [22:28]Marriage gets so much more complicated with age [27:18]Prenups can be as individual as the marriage [29:43]When it’s in writing, everybody knows [32:58]Subscribe to The Lighthouse Lettershttps://dannyjdotcom.substack.com/Don’t forget to leave us a review and subscribe so you never have to miss an episode!

• Ep. 578: Never Say Never (Or Else)

  Never say never on the internet because if you make a public claim about one thing and then eventually change your mind, someone out there named Susan is going to be VERY mad at you. (No offense to all the Susans out there, we’re sure most of you are normal.) When people follow you for one opinion you hold or attribute you have, it can be hard to come to terms with any life changes you make—especially if you’ve built a business on said attribute or opinion. We have enough life experience now to know that the second we decide how we feel about something, we inevitably change our minds. Maybe the only way to get around it all is just acknowledging that we don’t know anything, ever. This way, we don’t have to upset Susan.The best decade of our lives [2:58]What the hell is going on with men?
