Life is Short with Justin Long

Dr. Marisa Franco 🙂

Dr. Marisa Franco (Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make — and Keep — Friends) and Justin talk about the importance of developing and maintaining strong platonic friend connections, why our society seems to prioritize romantic relationships above others, and how our upbringing impacts the attachment styles we have as adults.

Is it just me or is time flying by? How do we make the most out of our short time here on Earth? That’s what we’re here to find out. I’m Justin Long and I’ve been an actor for most of my life, so I’m used to getting inside the heads of the characters I play. But now that I’m getting older (I’m in my forties, yikes), I want to peek inside the heads of real people to learn how they find meaning in life. I’m also very curious what their favorite snack food is, and what emoji they use most often — ya know, the REALLY important stuff. Every episode I’ll get personal with all kinds of people, from actors to musicians to deep thinkers who fascinate me. My brother Christian is on hand each episode to keep me honest, and occasionally remind me about some of the embarrassing things I’ve done over the years. Join us, or if you have more important things to do, that’s okay too — life is short!Listen to Life is Short on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
