This week on Full Nelson, we talk about the new espresso machine we bought and trace back through the quietly insane amount of money we've spent on coffee appliances over the years. It starts with a $30 frother and ends with a full-blown barista setup, but the point is bigger than coffee.
We break down how small lifestyle upgrades add up and how the same principle applies to building a legacy. We get into the long-term vision for our family, what we want our life to look like ten or twenty years from now, and how you can start planning for the future you want even if you live in a downtown high-rise with no land and no space.
Inside this episode:
• The slow creep of "just one more coffee gadget"
• Smart financial decisions that compound over time
• How to think legacy even if you're not in your forever home
• How to choose a partner who actually wants the same future you do
• Tim's hunting trip, shooting a deer, and the reverence in the full-circle process of taking an animal's life and honouring it through food
• Why the "circle of life" conversation matters more than people think
It's one of our most grounded conversations yet.
Part marriage, part money, part family planning, part espresso-fuelled chaos. If you're dreaming of a long-game life built intentions and thoughtfully, this episode will feel like a blueprint.

This week on full nelson, we spiral (lovingly) through the chaos of the holidays, starting with the controversial take that parents are the actual magic makers and everyone else can sit down and enjoy the ride.

we get into why thanksgiving is not the place for politics (grow up, pass the mashed potatoes), and the absolutely unhinged trend of “asking your infant for consent before changing their diaper.” spoiler: we have thoughts.

we also unpack our christmas tree saga — real vs. fake, which team we’re each on, and why one of us is ready to throw the whole tree lot away.

plus: the story of how we literally sawed our bed in half just to get it upstairs, and a whole debate on furniture:
should you buy trendy cheap stuff you’ll hate in a year… or pick a style and commit for life?

it’s unfiltered, it’s chaotic, it’s very us.

press play. 🎄🪚

This week's episode is a study in presence, craft, and commitment.
We open with a conversation about the millennial struggle to simply be here. Why our generation is constantly chasing the next accomplishment, the next reinvention, the next season - and what it actually costs us when we're never fully grounded in the moment we're living.
From there, we move into one of our most requested topics: steak as a craft.
Not trends. Not gimmicks. Just the fundamentals - the cuts that matter, the methods we trust, the difference between cooking indoors and outdoors, and the equipment worth investing in if you're serious about doing it well. Consider this the blueprint.
And with our 13th wedding anniversary just days away, we close with a conversation about marriage that is honest, generous, and quietly profound.
Thirteen years of choosing each other through evolution, ambition, parenthood, and the private challenges people don't see. What we've learned, what's changed us, and the principles we now live by.
It's intentional. It's timeless. And it's one of the most meaningful episodes we" aver recorded.
