Why we left Long Island

Derek and I grew up on this Island:

Long Island – Wikipedia
Long Island, New York

After high school, we both left for college (Connor: Upstate NY, Derek LA), and even after graduation still haven’t returned.

In today’s episode, we reflect on why we left, why we have no plans to return, and what’s next.

Enjoy the show!


Quotes we mentioned:

Epictetus

“What would have become of Hercules, do you think, if there had been no lion, hydra, stag or boar – and no savage criminals to rid the world of? What would he have done in the absence of such challenges? Obviously he would have just rolled over in bed and gone back to sleep. So by snoring his life away in luxury and comfort he never would have developed into the mighty Hercules.”

Seneca

"How can you wonder your travels do you no good, when you carry yourself around with you? You are saddled with the very thing that drove you away."
