You may want to watch this one instead of listen, there's some cool visuals! This episode starts with a quick Shadyside shout-out to everyone who stepped up to run for local office (proud of our little town), then a deep dive into the archive with a some apple notes from June 2016—proof this dream has been years in the making.
Real life keeps on real-lifing: a couple interviews fell through, Mom & Gram came up (Gram’s massive Patrick Mahomes crush lives on), and I found some perspective I needed. In a rebuild mode of sorts: hoops, bike rides, and a simple bullet-journal system—every square is data.
We get honest about “the commentary section” of my life—turning criticism into conversation and inviting it on-mic and on-pod.
Also, the debut of HITS DEEP:
• Recovery song: “Turk Street” by Benjamin Lerner
• A meaning-of-life clip that stunned me
• A Kobe/Tim Duncan clip (you know I love Kobe)
Shout out to the ones who show up and encourage me!
Teasers: my new project, Top 100 Memories from High School—tonight’s preview, “The Fred Kerns Incident” (names changed for privacy).
Word of the Day: Perseverance — James 1:12, Romans 5:3–4, Galatians 6:9.
If this pod has ever hit you in the heart, here’s your chance to help fuel it. I’m launching a small support club and community space to keep help keep the pods rolling and give back.
