Our story today has to do with making decisions.
As a child, most of the time, life is pretty easy because you don’t have to make any decisions. Everything in your life is decided for you – what clothes you wear each day, where you sleep, what you eat, everything.
But as an adult, all of that changes. You take on responsibilities, and you have to make decisions. What to do for work, who you want to spend the rest of your life with (if anyone), which house to buy – it seems like we spend much of our life trying to make the right choices. And sometimes, that can be really difficult.
My guest today is Laura. She and her husband, Dan, were parents to their little boy, Louie. Then, they found out they were pregnant again – this time, with twins.
And Laura was soon faced with making a decision that she never would have imagined having to make.

Content warning: this episode includes discussion of pregnancy and loss. Listener discretion is advised.

TQ11: Have you ever been involved with foster care? What was that experience like?

Not too long ago, I went on Hulu, and I found the TV show Shark Tank, and I went all the way back and watched every episode starting at Season 1.
I’ve always had that entrepreneurial spirit, wanting to start businesses and make money by working for myself. And that’s what I’ve pretty much done – I’ve been self-employed for more than 20 years. And now, I’m self-employed as a podcaster.
But one thing I’ve never done – I’ve never been on Shark Tank. But Max has – and he did it as a teenager.
Max told me the whole story of the product he developed, and how he pitched it on TV and ended up getting a deal with Mark Cuban.
This is a Flashback episode. Max originally told this story here on the podcast, back on episode 18. So after he tells about his adventures on Shark Tank, you’ll hear a new conversation I had with Max recently, about what he’s up to today. Surprise – he’s started a new company.

176: Max partnered with Mark Cuban

Nancy Brophy fills her novels with romantic betrayals and murder. It’s a far cry from her
quiet life in the suburbs, where she and her chef husband, Dan, are living out their
golden years. But when Dan is shot dead, Nancy finds herself at the center of a murder
case that could be ripped from the pages of her novels.

From Wondery, this is a story about what happens when the line blurs between fiction
and reality.
