Starting over, writing a book, and divor...

Shaun Galanos and John Kim
About this episode

Today, John and Shaun talk about hair insecurities, moving to Costa Rica, and the challenge of making big life changes. They also discuss dating in Los Angeles, social anxiety, and the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone.


As they look ahead, John and Shaun brainstorm ways to expand the podcast, from guest appearances on other shows to adding expert guests of their own. Shaun shares insights from a podcast agent he met at a recent party, and they reflect on how networking (even when you don’t feel like it) can open unexpected doors.


Plus, they answer a listener's question about struggling with loneliness after divorce and offer advice on rebuilding a fulfilling life.
