Welcome to Rolling with the Dolans. I'm Patrick Dolan. And I'm Tameka Dolan. And this podcast is for us to discuss everything about our interracial marriage, blending families, and parenting multiple children of all different ages. Okay, and I'll give you a little bit of background about what we're looking to achieve. Today we just want to do a quick intro about, what this podcast means to us and then, what we're looking to, get out of it and what we're hoping that the listeners can get out of it as well. Okay. So what we're looking to get out of it is sometimes I think it's better if we discuss things out loud. I think it's good if we get feedback from our listeners. What do you think? Yeah, I think that, that we have a lot of different stories to tell. I think that, you know, over the years we've, learned a lot and I think that some of these things might resonate well with other people and that they might have the same experiences and they might, you know, have something that, that they can learn from us. And then, as we continue to progress with this, we want to learn from, people, That, that do have, you know, similar background stories and, and things like that, that they can share with us to learn on top of it. Okay. I agree. So the next question is, what does this podcast mean to us? My feeling is I always want to try to do things to help others. And, if there's anything that, I can do that might be able to help others. That's, that would be huge, you know, whether or not it's just one listener or multiple listeners or anybody. I definitely hope that they can get some value out of our stories and what we're going to talk about. I agree. What it, what was the question again? What does it mean to us? Yeah. I think it means that it's, we're able to give back what we've learned because, We obviously are a little bit older than some people that are just starting to blend families. So, we have had to mature and learn, on the way. And so I feel like we can give people some advice and insight on what we did that worked, and what we're going to try that might work, and all that good stuff. Yeah, and speaking of older, some of the things that, you know, we can share is, is some of the things that didn't work in other relationships, and we can talk a lot more about this one and, and what we really feel is different for us that, that helps us have such a tight relationship. I agree. I agree. All right. Are you excited for this journey? Yeah, and there's one thing that you didn't talk about yet, Do you think that you are going to cringe when you look back and hear this a year from now What is the definition of cringe like? Oh, geez. What was I thinking? I Think I'm gonna say we had quite a few technical difficulties Uh, maybe we should have reworded that because someone was in their feelings and they sent us a nasty message and that's about it. And what was the most important thing about getting this started? Oh, my new motto for, motto, moto, is it motto? You say tomato, I say tomato or something like that. Okay. Motto for the year is done is better than perfect. So we're going to put it out there every week. Are you committed to once a week? At least. Okay. I say once a week. And that's documented now. I'm not going to take that out. Well, listen, it takes two of us to do it. So I say once a week because I think things get a little crazy. So if we can commit to once a week and just get it done, it might not be perfect, but it will be done. Right. Absolutely. So that's the thing is, you know, a lot of times, we've learned, we can get into to some of the different things as far as entrepreneurship and things that we've done through our careers, and businesses is a lot of times you just have to get something out there. You have to get started rather than just keep thinking about it. If you just keep thinking about it and planning, nothing ever happens. So you just have to get it done and, you know, move on. So speaking of moving on we have a lot of topics that we're going to be excited about talking about soon. we'll get into travel, vacations that we, we, we've done and we want to do. We'll get into, you know, some of the different things that we have to deal with. Sports and running around with kids left and right and, just day to day types of activities as well. What about money? what money? Well, sometimes people want to know what blended families do with money. Okay, yeah, we can talk about that. Okay, sounds good. Need to get some money first. All right, let's get it. Let's get it. All right, so other than that, then, we need to come up with our solid exit from this as well. So how do you want to handle that tonight? Well, like I said, it's gonna be some technical difficulties, but I mean I did the intro so I think that you should work on the exit. Well, I guess, hmm. Well, thanks for joining us. I hope that you will tune in for the next time and we'll have a lot of fun on this journey and, our intention is make it fun informative and something that's meaningful for everybody. So join us again soon and hopefully have a magnificent week Magnificent. Awesome Amazing Goodbye. Bye.
