Next Episode

You think you know, but you have no idea, with John Duff.

Call him what you want, just be sure you tag him. John Carroll Duff is a living legend, he is an actor, singer, songwriter, and absolute wordsmith. You may know him from social media, his wok on stage, or his music video that will soon be going viral (if it hasn't by the time you've listened to this). Regardless, he drops truth bombs like it ain't no thang, and he is mighty entertaining in the process. He can't help it, he is a magnet, and I know you'll be drawn right it. The thing you may not know is that he is a deeply spiritual human, who is a soul searcher, meditator, yogi, and seeker to no end. You will hear about his journey (and mine) from the jungles of Mexico, to the concrete jungles of NYC, to LaLaland. So come on, let's tune in, turn on and get INformation.
