This episode is about putting work into yourself and finally realizing how far you’ve actually come.

When I started this show 2 years ago, I was a mess. But today? I feel like I’m back. Back to how I felt in 2009 when I met my soon-to-be wife — that funky groove, that confidence, that real version of me.

In this one I talk about my best friend asking me to be his best man, old island summer memories, the exact moment I knew I was going to get married, and the music that soundtracked that time and era — Gonjasufi, Gaslamp Killer and more.

We also open the vault for the 2nd installment of the POE Archives: Music From Another Timeline featuring one of my personal favourites from the Danny Stone era — “Take It Easy.”

So take a deep breath, relax and come drift through time with me for a little while… then come back to the present and realize how far we’ve all come.
