Welcome to “defeating the purpose”! I’m L.E. and I’m here to explore the “36 Questions that Lead to Love,” one question at a time with my closest friends, family, and mentors. The “36 questions”, originally written and researched by Arthur Aron, are meant to make two strangers get to know each other on a new, intimate level through a mix of fun and vulnerable questions. I wanted to go through this list, but the idea of answering all these questions with one single person is incredibly intimidating to me, so I'm completing it with a new person for each question.
I'm so excited to share this 5th episode of Defeating the Purpose! I talked with my friend, Grace Usleman, and asked her the 5th of the 36 Questions: "When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?" Music is always a fun conversation topic with Grace, and we talked so much there might even be a bonus episode later on featuring some of the stuff I had to cut out of this episode. Happy listening!

Question Three with Luc Pierce
In this episode of Defeating the Purpose, I had a nice chat with my friend, Luc Pierce, and we answered the third of the 36 Questions: Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why? With this question, we talked about communication trends in our generation, as well as how COVID 19 has affected them. Disclaimer: My guests and I are always wearing masks, contributing to muffled audio, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. Thanks for listening!

Question Two with Isa Garcia
I had so much fun recording Question 2 with my friend, Isa Garcia. I asked her, "Would you like to be famous? In what way?" We talked about celebrities and fame and a few of her stories from New York. Disclaimer: Audio gets better a few mins into the episode, sorry for the first few minutes though. Thanks for listening!

Question One with Sam and Joe
On this first episode of "Defeating the Purpose," I'm asking two of my friends the question, "Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?" While answering the question, we also happen to talk about Aquaman, Home Alone 2, and the correct pronunciation of "Phoebe." Thanks @sedonagrace.mp4 for the intro and outro music!
