12/12/19 Our guest on this episode was writer/poet/friend Micah Bournes. Jacob has known him for 15 years and they have both seen the other go through some incredible growth, personally and spiritually, over the last decade and a half. We opened the show with an exciting event that happened at the bowling alley the previous night, then talked about big baseball news and the upcoming football weekend (0:00-32:50). Then we learned about Micah's sports history, including playing baseball, soccer and football as a kid into high school (32:50-53:40). From there Micah gave us a rundown of his family, including some history of how his parents ended up in SoCal and insight into the life of being one of six children (53:40-1:00:30). That led into a lengthy discussion of Micah's experience in school and how some of his struggles in the classroom shaped some of the success he has had in his career. It lead into a lengthy discussion about education and how individuals find success based on some of their advantages and disadvantages (1:00:30-1:42:10). We got back to being focused on Micah and taking a thorough look into how Micah developed his creativity and became a writer, rapper, and poet (1:42:10-2:07:45). We ended our conversation with a look at the importance of community in our lives, specifically the art communities Micah has become a part of and the bible study group that him and Jacob were in and the role those played in their lives, and some of the most meaningful traveling journeys and personal interactions Micah has had in his career (2:07:45-2:48:06).
