That Was Us
This week on That Was Us, we’re trying something a little different. Inspired by the heart of This Is Us and where we currently are in the rewatch with Kevin and Randall’s reconciliation, the hosts kick off a brand new “Group Chat” format centered around one big theme: siblings! From birth order and family roles to rivalry, resentment, and deep love, Mandy, Sterling, and Chris open up about their own sibling dynamics and the ways those relationships continue to shape who they are today. In this episode, the hosts chat about: * Their own sibling dynamics, age gaps, and the roles they played growing up * How birth order can shape personality, ambition, and family identity * Why siblings raised in the same household often feel like they had completely different parents * The ways Kevin, Kate, and Randall mirror real-life sibling dynamics and coping mechanisms * How trauma and major life events can permanently shape sibling relationships * Caring for aging parents and how siblings divide emotional and logistical responsibilities * Why the sibling who moves away often experiences family differently * The lasting impact of family roles well into adulthood * Whether siblings naturally grow closer with age—or drift apart * “Hot takes” about siblings, including parent favorites, youngest-child privilege, and whether siblings are built-in best friends or built-in enemies * The value of staying connected to family, even when relationships are complicated And a friendly reminder, you can catch new episodes of That Was Us every Monday, a day early, exclusively on Hulu. Available on Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts on Tuesdays like usual! That Was Us is produced by Rabbit Grin Productions.

We also played a live round of Hot Takes with the audience and, of course, the night featured incredible live performances from guests like Taylor Goldsmith, Hannah Zeile, Blake Stadnik, and more, making it a truly special celebration of the music and community that made This Is Us…and That Was Us…so meaningful.

That Was Us
This week on That Was Us…we’re back with another Chat Was Us! This time, inspired by the many journeys of ambition and self-discovery in This Is Us, we’re tackling one big question: What does it really mean to be successful? From chasing dreams and career milestones to fulfillment, purpose, and legacy, Mandy, Sterling, and Chris reflect on how their definitions of success have evolved over the years. In this episode, the hosts chat about: * How their definitions of success have shifted from external achievement to personal fulfillment * The difference between being successful and feeling successful * Why our brains naturally fixate on failure and how encouragement can quiet the inner critic * The role childhood competition, sports, and early ambition played in shaping their drive * Fame versus fulfillment, and how public recognition differs from lasting happiness * The career milestones that made them feel like they had finally ""made it"" * Why longevity, meaningful work, and the respect of your peers matter more than awards * The artists and mentors who have redefined success through decades of purposeful careers * Why passion (not money) is often the clearest path toward purpose * How luck, preparation, and saying ""yes"" to opportunity all play a role in building a career * Raising children to value effort, curiosity, and joy over simply winning * The legacy they hope to leave behind and what a truly successful life looks like at the end Plus, along the way, the conversation takes a few unexpected detours into childhood summers, Slurpees and hose water, youth sports, camp counseling, terrible self-talk, and an emotional compliment game that reminds the hosts just how much they mean to one another.
