🎙️ EP#301 | DSD | Friends, Personal Growth, and Splitting Ceviche with Shane Wetmore

What happens when two longtime friends reconnect over ceviche and conversation? In this heartfelt solo episode, the host reflects on a recent meetup with Shane Wetmore, a fellow Miami of Ohio alum and loyal DSD listener, who encouraged a deeper dive into personal storytelling. The result? A raw, reflective, and revealing look at how Relationships evolve, how curiosity fuels connection, and why it’s okay to outgrow people—and be outgrown.

The episode explores how age, self-awareness, and shared interests shape our social circles and how we’re constantly redefining what connection means in today’s polarized world. From geopolitical curiosity to AI-powered productivity to unapologetic health takes, Shane’s influence sparks a candid conversation about how the podcast’s purpose—and the host himself—are evolving.

You’ll also get a sneak peek at the upcoming Deep Shallow Dive Into Your Health book, plus real talk on fruit, fake friends, and Trump 2025. Whether you’re here for the vulnerability, the Wisdom, or just the berries vs. bananas debate, this episode is a powerful reminder that growth is messy, necessary, and often sparked by unexpected conversations.
