Mario & Nicole’s Holiday Reflections - UNARMORED
As this year draws to a close, I had the privilege of sitting down with my incredible wife, Nicole, to record a very special episode of Unarmored Talk.
This one is different—it’s unstructured, raw, and straight from the heart. We share stories from the early days of our relationship, including the unforgettable moment we first met and our initial impressions of each other. We also reflect on the journey that has brought us to an incredible milestone: our upcoming 30th wedding anniversary.
Check it out and let us know what you think. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year! 🎙️❤️
