This episode:   Mike and I discuss what it’s like when life throws you a curve ball and you were looking for that fastball. Somewhere along the line Mike fell out of focus and got broad in his business and tried to do a number of things and got lost in the shuffle. He then began to hate what he was doing. While teaching his kids the value of an education, he was reminded about his lack of education. That’s when it hit him that he was being hypocritical and he had to make a change.

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness.
