What's The PointAndy Miller - #49What would you have done had you won the recent massive lottery jackpot? If you're Minnesotan, apparently the answer is "buy a cabin". After that, you could spend the remanining several hundred million on mental health. Or you could just come visit the FaceIt Foundation instead. Andy did the latter, and his mental health journey began when he was seeing psychologists as a child. He discovered FaceIt through a friend of a friend (who happened to be Mark Meier), but now you've discovered it through us.

2025-10-041h 10What's The PointGarrett Aalfs - #42Bill's time at sea has made him go full nautical and start growing a beard. How will this new chapter in his life play out? Only time will tell. Garrett doesn't have a seaworthy beard, but he does have a tale to tell. It's a tale of having young children, a job, and a wife. Many of us have been there, and most would agree that domestic bliss comes with its share of stressors. Everyone copes somehow, and luckily Face It was there to help.
2025-09-2354 minWhat's The PointJohn Christianson - #41If you were a boat, what kind of boat would you be? The only reason this question makes any sense is because we all know what kind Bill would be: the kind that he's on. For the rest of us stuck in studio, we're listening to the soundtracks of our lives rather than the sea breeze. It might not always be your favorite song, but it's your soundtrack. Try to write something you like.
2025-09-0957 minWhat's The PointSteven Monson - #40What vegetable is best? This may seem like an unimportant question, but it's actually vital to today's discussion. Okay, that's not true at all. We just wanted to talk about vegetables. The real important topic of the day is lingering anger issues about being victimized. It's not healthy to bury your feelings, but it's equally unhealthy to let them control you. Finding the balance can be one of the hardest things you'll ever have to do.
2025-08-2655 minWhat's The PointPaul Thomas - #39In this episode we discuss the passing of Hulk Hogan, who for men in a specific age bracket was almost a father figure. Paul's actual father died in 2013, so he can tell you what it's like to lose a father for real, and what it's like to feel the need to replace him. He can also tell you how to keep #livin despite it all.
2025-08-131h 04What's The PointShawn Luke - #38If you're very important, like the guy who invented the Pringles can, you probably know what you want to be remembered for. The rest of us are still thinking. We're also thinking about how easy it is to get stuck in a cycle of living for everyone but yourself. Burnout is real, and it rarely ends well. And just because you're not Pringles Can Famous doesn't mean you don't have an identity outside of what you've done for the world.
2025-07-2954 minWhat's The PointJoey Torkildson - #37Do you have a popular name? Maybe you did, maybe you still do. Maybe you're on the cutting edge, like kids named Liam. Either way, it's not really important. What is important is the ability to recognize when you're in a rut, and how to get out of it. When a car gets stuck in the mud, does it get out by itself? I don't think even the self-driving ones do. Get yourself a battle buddy and level up. NEW! Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbOyC2nIu2k
