Ever wonder how a self-proclaimed "terrible person" can bring joy to others? Craig is joined by Jeff Macolino, a fellow podcaster and actor, for a candid conversation that unexpectedly turns into a heartwarming exploration of self-perception, humor, and the power of vulnerability.

Jeff, a multifaceted creative known for his work as a podcaster, actor, and filmmaker, opens up about his latest projects, including the quirky "Haunted Happy Hour" and the eagerly awaited "The Last Ride." His stories offer listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process and the challenges of bringing unique narratives to life.

 

Here are 3 key takeaways from Craig's chat with Jeff:

- The Healing Power of Humor: Jeff's approach to turning embarrassing moments into comedic gold isn't just entertaining—it's transformative. His willingness to share vulnerabilities creates connection and spreads positivity.

- Self-Perception vs. Reality: Despite Jeff's harsh self-criticism, his impact on others tells a different story. This disconnect highlights the importance of recognizing our positive influence on those around us.

- Faith and Self-Acceptance: Our discussion touches on the role of faith in self-acceptance, offering a unique perspective on how spiritual beliefs can shape our self-image.

 

This episode is a reminder that our harshest critics are often ourselves and a call to turn toward Grace. Jeff's honesty and humor provide a refreshing take on self-improvement and the human experience.

Listen to the full episode for more insights, laughs, and a dash of unexpected wisdom. It's a conversation that might just change how you view yourself and others.
