This quickly became one of our favorite episodes! How often do you have a pre-conceived opinion about someone? Are you quick to judge? Compare yourself? We are constantly fed negativity in today’s world and to make matters worse – it comes easily. Why is that? Why do we instantly think “what could go wrong” instead of “what could go right?” Isn’t it exhaus...

What more is there to say? This is so relevant in today’s society. We all have our insecurities and doubts. Why do we hide them?

We are all hiding things. It doesn’t matter if you’re a kid in school or an adult in the workforce. We all have things that we struggle with. Why do we hide it? Why are we scared to share our issues with others? Even though we are all going through something we hesitate because we don’t want to be judged, ridiculed, or looked down on. Mental health and connecting with others is m...

Are you holding on to things in your past? Are you stuck right now and don’t know where to turn? We go in depth with Jake and ask questions about the book’s origins, why he wrote it, a...

One of the deepest confessions to date. What was this person going through? How were the judgements of others affecting this person? We dove into different kinds of addictions, the affects it has on family and friends, and how to handle (or ignore) judgement and expectations from others. thelittlethings.mitchandjake@gmail.com Thank You!

Where did it start? Why has it seemingly become so important? How can we shift our perspective? We think this is one of our best conversations yet. Hope you enjoy! Ratings and Reviews help out our pod...

At the base of misunderstanding is typically communication. Often times we struggle to communicate effectively and the results are often misconstrued. How can we improve? Are introverts always misunderstood because they simply keep to themselves more often than not? We really enjoyed this one!
