Get to Know Michael & Brian
You’ve heard their life pivot stories. This week Michael and Brian skip the big questions and just hang out, so you can get to know the two people behind Between Here & There.
It starts with how they met: the first night of yoga teacher training, when Michael joked that he was having a very productive midlife crisis and had signed up for yoga instead of buying a sports car, and Brian admitted he’d bought the sports car. From there it’s where they grew up (Brian the baby of a big Italian family outside Cleveland, Michael the one non-Catholic kid at a Detroit Catholic school), what they’re hilariously bad at, the sounds that drive them up the wall, and a lightning round that turns up more overlap than either of them expected.
This week’s question: what’s one thing people don’t see about you right away?

Coming
Emily Wilkins survived emergency surgery in 2017, then went back to the same life and asked, “Why can’t I make this work?” How a week in Florida, a notebook and a deck of tarot cards led the founder of Marketing Metal to the pivot she chose.
Ka Wai Cheung spent 18 years building a company. The day he sold it, he felt relief, then a harder question: who am I now? Our first guest on the next five minutes, keeping your craft in a smaller dose, and why your “there” can be a feeling, not a finish line.
We all react. Michael and Brian on the space between what happens and what you do next: where you feel it in your body, how to tell real reflection from kicking the can down the road, and the one question that turns a reaction into a response.
