Nostalgia has powerful ways of shaping who we become. In this heartfelt conversation, we journey back to our childhood spring breaks, revealing how these formative experiences continue to influence our values, relationships, and even business decisions decades later.
Growing up in Alabama, "spring break" was originally known as "AEA week" - a time that wasn't about beach parties but rather cherished visits with extended family. For one of us, this meant a week in Ardmore, Alabama, working at an aunt and uncle's convenience store, making crafts, watching classic movies, and enjoying the simple pleasure of deli-sliced meat sandwiches (which would later inspire our business menu!). For the other, it meant road trips to Illinois to visit grandparents who introduced everything from tennis to community theater performances.
What emerges from these memories isn't just nostalgia, but profound gratitude for adults who invested their limited time to make us feel valued, teach us skills, and create spaces where we could develop confidence. The most powerful realization? Often it's the smallest moments - not grand vacations - that leave the most significant impressions on young hearts.
This episode offers a touching reminder of how fleeting time is and why making moments count with our loved ones matters so deeply. As we reflect on tornado warnings, Nintendo games, and Swedish restaurants, we discover that focusing on gratitude for good memories helps outweigh worries about tomorrow.
Take this journey with us and perhaps rediscover your own formative childhood experiences that continue to shape who you are today. What memories are you creating with the important people in your life right now?
