Alex describes growing up in Santa Cruz with divorced parents who co-parented 50/50 while living four blocks apart, and how his father’s earlier marriages and relationships resulted in much older half-siblings (Lauren and Jenna) and a half-brother (Evan), plus a stepbrother (Chris). He shares developing closer sibling relationships mainly in adulthood, the role Jenna played as a family “glue,” and his reflections on being the youngest and receiving more consistent parenting. Alex also explains Burning Man as a temporary gifting-culture city and connects it to valuing creativity, diverse backgrounds, and learning from everyone, ending with advice that genuine listening is a modern superpower.</p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>Alex Feldman:</u></strong></p><p><strong>Email: &nbsp;</strong><a href=\"mailto:afeld11@gmail.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>afeld11@gmail.com&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><u>Robin Breuner&nbsp;</u></strong></p><p><strong>Email:&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>robinbreuner@gmail.com</u></strong></p><p><strong>Website:&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong><a href=\"http://www.robinbreuner.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>www.robinbreuner.com</strong></a></p><p><strong>Instagram:</strong><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/stepstoriespodcast/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong> stepstories</strong></a><strong><u>podcastIG</u></strong></p><p><strong>Facebook: </strong><a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582689185910\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>stepstoriespodcastFB</strong></a></p><p><strong>Linkedin:&nbsp;</strong><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/robin-breuner-23a84134/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>&nbsp;RobinBreunerLinkIN</strong></a></p><p><strong>Podcast:&nbsp;</strong><a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stepstories-podcast/id1846685487\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>&nbsp;StepStories Podcast</strong></a></p><p><strong>Threads:</strong><a href=\"https://www.threads.com/@robinbreuner?xmt=AQF0GOVjXGjpQJa7Aphz1ZVD0-WwsL41APbphovVTHeblsU\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;@robinbreuner</strong></a></p><p><strong>YouTube</strong><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@StepStoriesPodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>: StepStories Podcast YouTube</strong></a></p>","author_name":"Robin Breuner "}
