Welcome to I Thought I Knew You. I'm so glad you're here. If you're new to the show, here are the rules of the game. My guests must be people I already know. They cannot be celebrities or otherwise famous people, and I must be as willing to be open as my guests are. Consider this podcast the be a tourist in your own city version of an interview show. Let each episode be the restaurant you drove past a million times and never went inside. Or the bookstore with the weathered sign that's always caught your eye. If you're up for it, I'd like for you to come along as I try to understand all the quirks and nuances and flaws and wonderful things that make up the people I know. For this first episode. I decided to interview my wife. I felt like if I could learn new things about someone that I'd known for 20 years, I could uncover new things about anyone. So today's episode is a special one.

If you're up for it, I'd like for you to come along as I try to understand all the quirks and nuances and flaws and wonderful things that make up the people I know. For this first episode. I decided to interview my wife. I felt like if I could learn new things about someone that I'd known for 20 years, I could uncover new things about anyone. So today's episode is a special one.
My wife is great at giving me the business. In this one she constantly cracks me up. To know her is to know someone who spends hours making things for other people. Someone who is tireless and selfless. She doesn't want the spotlight. She only performs around people she loves and trusts. I admire her for her brain. I'm constantly impressed with her problem solving and her tenacity. I admire her dedication to helping people in some of the hardest and most dangerous situations a person can find themselves. She's the one who fixes things around the house and brings home broken down furniture because she sees potential that I never see. She spends weeks making Halloween costumes for our kids and gives them a kind of love that they will struggle to find at any other point in their lives. She is my favorite person in the world and it isn't even close.
You're never gonna fully know her like I do. In the space of this interview, I feel like a part of her came out that doesn't often come out for other people, and I'm just so excited for you to hear it. Thank you again for being here. I'm excited for the stories that you're gonna get to hear as a part of the show. I hope it encourages you to be more vulnerable with the people in your life. I think the world's better when we don't have to hide. So here we go. First episode.
Welcome to I Thought I Knew You with My Wife.
