Hello, I'm Eddie, this is Doing the Best We Can.
This show (and the matching newsletter) is about you and me finding ways to traverse life together. Some of those ways will be random/small/silly, and some will be big/brave/scary. But every week we'll dive in, have a conversation, and maybe even learn something about ourselves.
Join me on a thought-provoking journey as I delve into the interplay of life's unrelated events that find a place in the middle of our mental Venn Diagram. We’ll ponder the juxtaposition of longing for time to pass quickly while mourning the end of time.
It’s an introspective episode that navigates the complexities of life, loss, meditation, and the ever-elusive quest for silence. Buckle up…

In this week's very special episode, we celebrate a whole year of Doing the Best We Can! But how do we do that? Well, with Uncle Jimmy of course. He joins us for some ChatGPT advice and a very odd placement of the word Lord. It's a party!

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.

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!

Today, Aaron shares his concerns about finding safe spaces in the church and faith communities, and we explore the struggle of following beloved Christian leaders without knowing their stance on LGBTQIA+ issues. This time is about growth, acceptance, and love as we challenge beliefs and explore the intersection of safety versus agreement.

Today, we will be discussing the delicate topic of encouraging a loved one's health without nagging. A listener reached out with concerns about her husband's dangerous weight and resistance to change, and we will explore whether or not we can actually change a person. Is it our job to do so? Is it kind to care, especially when the stakes are high?

This week, as a little post-script to the financial series, Eddie sits down (live and in his den) to have a chat with his friend and dinner guest, Teddy Ray. 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.

We’re closing our financial series with the most controversial topic of all: charitable giving. Brace yourselves! Today, we're diving into the deeply personal nature of what it means to give. I'll share a personal story that changed my perspective on fundraising, and how it taught me that we're all just different people with our own true north. Plus, I do a bit of begging.
