Episode #98 has myself looking back at the year just completed. I discuss the biggest lessons I learned from 2021 and tell the story that my year provided. From the value of a community that adds or multiplies, to my own daily struggles, this episode is filled with vulnerability and a deeper tone of conversation. It ranges from the many "on-paper negatives" I've endured to the "unexpected gifts" as well. Motorcycle crashes, the opportunity of time, inner battles with self-belief, and too many blessings to count; LIFE IS RAD.
