Project Today

Sorry we missed last weeks episode! But we are back and better than ever with a functioning electrical system in our BOX TRUCK! Dylan who has taken the lead role on this project, after months and months of anticipation finally got to put it all together! If you are an avid listener of the podcast you know that this is where we give you a behind the scenes listen into the everyday things and decisions we go through while building out this box truck! In this episode we have an open and honest conversation about how to proceed with some big mistakes we have made throughout the build and how we're potentially going to fix them!

Today on the podcast we discuss one of the most important questions of our van build. Is Home Depot or Lowe's better for getting materials to build a van? This question has challenged philosophers for decades. We are thrilled to add our opinion into the conversation and hopefully answer this question. Thank you for tuning into the podcast! We are moving our upload date to Thursdays so stick around to see a new podcast episode every Thursday!

Today's episode of the Project Today Podcast is an incredibly special one... for many reasons! For one, we are recording outside of Colorado for the first time in MONTHS, as we are now doing the conversion in the great (and hot) state of Arizona! We road-tripped down here a little over a week ago, and have now spent the last three days working towards finishing the kitchen frame of our Uhaul (it's almost done!) Also, this coming Sunday we will be posting a Youtube video once again! We took a little break from creating content last week after the road trip, but this Sunday our normal two-videos-per-week schedule will resume. Also, we've back on TikTok as well, posting videos there on a near-daily basis. Speaking of TikTok, at the end of today's podcast we have a special and completely unplanned surprise... a TikTok live Q&A!!! You'll get to hear us answering questions from our TikTok audience live here today, about everything from the box truck conversion to our favorite songs for road trips. We hope you enjoy!

The box truck is really starting to take shape, we are not quite move in ready but it is time for us to take our first real trip with it so we can finish the build at Oliver's home in Arizona! This week we talk about our plans for the next few weeks as we get ready to depart the next day and our excitement to get on the road and have a bit of a change of pace!

It's been two months, and the question that everybody wants answered remains... Is the conversion over? And that is exactly the question we try to answer in today's podcast! Welcome back everyone, it's been two weeks since the last podcast and we are SO EXCITED to bring you some news and updates. The short answer to the question above is no... but also yes! Kind of... but mostly no.  And with that, let's get into today's podcast!

After almost two months working on the box truck, it's finally time for... A ROAD TRIP! That's right, Project Today is going on the road! The box truck conversion has been going really well, and within two weeks from the time of writing this description we will be ready to start traveling around the U.S. There are only a few big projects left to do before the Uhaul will be "livable", and immediately when we hit that threshold it will be time to hit the road! Our first stop: Phoenix, Arizona. Not only do we talk about this upcoming road trip in today's podcast, but we also go over some of the more interesting projects we've done so far in the entire build, including our couch-to-bed conversion and our tongue-in-groove ceiling. Both of these projects have take a lot longer than we had anticipated, and they've each presented us with numerous problems along the way. Yet, in true Project Today spirit, we're getting closer and closer to completing both of them with each passing day. We hope you all enjoy today's podcast! And if you haven't already, make sure you check us out on Youtube (just search ProjectToday), TikTok (@Projecttoday) and Instagram (@projecttoday_)! We'll see you all again next week!

Snow in September, while we're converting our retired Uhaul box truck into a full-time tiny house? We promise you'll never see anything like this every again... Welcome back to the Project Today podcast, where today we will be going over our last week of work on the box truck conversion. Rather than having a tie day (take-it-easy day) we've given ourselves a bit of a tie week. We are hitting a little bit of that burnout we felt a few weeks ago, and because of that our progress on the van build has been halted. On top of this, we also haven't gone over our New Years Resolutions from this past January! It's been nine months since we set up our resolutions here on this podcast, so we thought today would be a great day to analyze our progress towards those goals. 2020 has been a crazy year, not just for us but for the entire world, and our resolutions have (of course) been drastically changed by the circumstances of the world. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. In times like these, when we might be struggling to find the motivation to keep building the truck and editing videos and recording podcasts, it's important to remember where we were just a few months ago. None of us thought that our "Crazy Van Plan" would even start until 2021, and yet here we are just a few weeks away from being able to travel around the country in a fully renovated box truck! Our TikTok and Youtube accounts are fully monetized, our brand is growing, and the three of us are closer than we've ever been in our lives. While difficult, 2020 has absolutely been a year of taking steps towards accomplishing some of our lifelong dreams, and that's something we can't forget. So, did the snow ruin our box truck? Have ANY of the guys accomplished their New Years Resolutions? WILL THE CONVERSION EVER BE FINISHED????? Find out today in the latest episode of the Project Today Podcast!

In the last week, we've installed: Amazing vinyl floors, insulation for the walls, insulation for the ceiling, spray insulation in every corner, sealant for the windows, and a full gym/squat rack on the outside of the truck! So yes, in short we are going through a period of incredible momentum in the box truck conversion. We're getting work done on the van every single day AND have been sticking to the schedule we gave ourselves a couple weeks ago, which has allowed us to post almost a TikTok every day and two new Youtube videos. And as if that isn't enough, we've also been finding plenty of ways to take some time "off" and clear our heads, which has also kept us feeling invigorated and excited for whatever comes next. In today's episode we go over everything we've worked on in the past week, while also remembering some of the projects we'd struggled with the most before this week began. It's feeling more and more real with every single project that we finish (this is becoming a cliche that we discuss in the pod as well) and soon we'll even be ready to start traveling in our fully-converted box truck. With that, we just have to say thank you to everyone that listens to these podcasts, week-in week-out. Each episode is a more candid look into our lives, where we talk about things that nobody can see on our TikTok/Youtube channels, and we hope that's something you all can enjoy! If you are listening to this podcast, comment below our latest Youtube video and we will give you a shout out in the very next video! We promise to respond to every single one of you, and in all honesty, we would be very interested to see how many of you follow us on both accounts. But with that, we hope you all enjoyed today's podcast! The last couple weeks have been SOOOOO much fun, and we hope that translates in the pod!! We'll see you all again next week in the next episode of the Project Today podcast!

Today we talk about camera gear, rebuilding momentum, motivation from tiktok, and aspirations for the Project Today brand. We have been following our schedule for the past three days, so this is officially the first podcast that goes out on this schedule! We are really excited to stick to this schedule and put out content in a more professional way on a real schedule! Thank you so much for listening to the Project Today Podcast! We appreciate each and every one of the listeners on this podcast!

In the latest episode of the Project Today podcast, the boys gather round and discuss all the new updates and milestones reached over the course of the last few weeks! We've been working hard (or hardly working?) on creating the coolest tiny home on wheels ever seen... and after a two-week hiatus from podcasting, it's time to bring everyone back into the fold and talk about our feelings towards the box truck build. Is it possible that we're actually feeling burnout? But first things first, we just have to say that we're sorry for not posting an episode in two weeks. It's been a very busy 14 days and we've found it difficult to actually stick to our own deadlines, so today we decided to go over our plans for a different, better and more streamlined schedule moving forward. This schedule encompasses all of the things that we try to accomplish on a daily/weekly basis, including Youtube videos, TikTok videos,m podcasts, Instagram posts, and, of course, actually converting our box truck into a tiny home! Not only is it a full week of work, but it requires all three of us to be on top of our game for most of the week to actually accomplish everything.... meaning it's a looooot of work. And on top of that, the last couple weeks have been difficult in and of themselves. We've struggled to actually get much work done... specifically on the truck itself. We may have actually hit the wall that we were trying to avoid from the start... Burnout. Because of burnout, we haven't been able to capitalize on the insane growth our social media accounts have seen. And, we've barely made progress on the actual box truck itself. Overall, it's been a tiring week. Because of that, we devoted this entire episode to a conversation that we needed to have days ago. It's time to get professional, and start holding each other accountable to our own goals. And it all starts today, with our new and improved daily schedule. We hope you all enjoy today's episode, it's definitely a candid behind-the-scenes look into our lives. If you did, make sure to subscribe to our channel, and check back again next Wednesday for another van life update! Hopefully it will be full of promising and exciting news!!
