My Brother and Nephew Educate Me

Description
My brother Brian is my younger brother, but as adults, he guides me like a big brother would. He and I are polar opposites. Where I enjoy the spotlight, he's kind of shy. He's a diesel mechanic. It's kind of a nice metaphor for how he parents too. You don't really see the engine working, you just kind of take for granted that it does, and it takes hard work and maintenance to keep it running. Brian and his son Jake talk to me about growing up and parenting. Through it all, this podcast finally breaks too. My basic premise of how do I get my kid to like the things I like goes right out the window. I'll regroup next week with an improved direction. A side note, Jake was recently accepted to be a firefighter in the town where he and my brother's family live. I couldn't be more proud of him! Jake, like my brother, is an exceptional man!
