The Bridges We Burned

Appreciate and be mindful of the small, seemingly insignificant moments in your life. Understand that who you are right now is necessarily dependent on those moments, the mortar and steel that build our lives. Our goal this week is teach you that, while strength and discipline and purpose are incredibly powerful tools in building the person we so desperately want to become, the tools of vulnerability, patience, and ease are just as crucial.

EP 0001 - Get Yourself A Cult

Mark and I go through the biggest recent events in our lives, from transitions in my workplace to his preparation for his first competitive powerlifting event and how reading helps shape the way we see the world. We also get into how I might have accidentally joined a cult a bit later on and sometimes you just gotta make lemonade when Jim Jones hands you lemons.

We're very much trying to pin down the show's formatting and the finer points of recording, so point out the flaws you're seeing so we can make corrections.
