Ever wondered what it takes to be the “favorite uncle” that everyone in the family adores? On this episode of the Hey Unk? Podcast, we, Shannon Fuller, Stewart McDay, and Mark Atwater, pull back the curtain on our distinctive roles in our chosen family, from Stew’s vigilant enforcer vibe, to Mark’s sage counseling, and my fun uncle persona. We share our strategies for navigating relationships with our daughters' friends and boyfriends and recount a pivotal life choice that set the path for the rest of our lives.
Relive the glory days with us as we take a nostalgic trip back to our college years. Picture this: '90s fashion, hammer pants, and off-campus adventures that brought us closer together. From freshman year antics to the solid bond of sophomore year as roommates, we reminisce about the joy, trust, and occasional bro-code violations that defined those unforgettable times. Shannon’s Navy visits added a unique twist, bringing both financial relief and a different perspective. This chapter highlights the timeless essence of friendship and the irreplaceable memories we created during our college days.
Pivotal life choices and the lessons they teach us come under the spotlight as we discuss the importance of timing, mental state, and experiences in shaping our paths. From changing careers to starting new ventures, we emphasize the value of a nonjudgmental support system and the power of chosen family. You'll hear our heartfelt advice to our 18-year-old selves and reflections on how different choices could have impacted our lives. Mark takes us through his journey of navigating grief after losing his wife, underscoring the critical role of a supportive network. Join us for an episode filled with introspection, humor, and valuable life insights.
