This week we check back in with Greig Paterson, 6 months on from his move to the US with his family.

We do a bit more digging into Greig’s journey, including his time with Clemson Men’s Soccer in the late 90s, coaching in Melbourne 🇦🇺 after a short stint with United Soccer Academy and more of the day to day discoveries (good and bad) as he and his family navigate new surroundings here in the US.

For this week‘s episode, I took time out of a recent jaunt to Houston to talk about traditions, trips and making an effort.

My guests, Eric Hawthorn, and Michael Freeman unpack their own holiday traditions from both Europe and here in the US. Recounting previous experiences and discussing the hardship of navigating distances that can exist between family and friends during this time of the year.

They also talk about the importance of making the effort to bridge those gaps and be present to keep relationships and memories going strong.
