  • Episode #18: Life of the Party - How Your Past Shapes You (and Doesn't Define You)
    Mar 25 2024

    On this solo podcast, I’m sharing some stories and moments from my life before I got sober, my “life of the party/party animal/rock star era.”

    Whilst most people know me now as a pretty chill sober dude that does a bunch of yoga and meditates, I used to be a MASSIVE partier and I’ve got a lot of wild stories. Some of these stories might strike you as kinda funny, others might shock you, others are just plain embarrassing.

    The reality is, I’m not proud of the way I used to live my life and show up in the world. I’m sharing these stories from my party days - not to glorify my behavior back then - but because I want to show people that they don’t have to take the same route I took, and that if you want it, change IS possible. I was 37 when I realized what I really wanted in my life!

    I have learned to see my past as what has shaped me to become the person I am today, but that my past also doesn’t define me.

  • Episode #17: From Newbie Yoga Teacher to Yoga Studio Owner with Rachel Brooks
    Feb 26 2024

    Rachel Brooks is the owner and an instructor at Seeking Space Yoga and Yin Yoga Space in Portland, OR.

    A Portland-native, Rachel opened Seeking Space Yoga in 2017 as a first time business owner and brand new yoga teacher! She continued to work her “day job” at a mortgage company and bartend at night whilst also running and teaching at the yoga studio - it was a lot!

    Throughout her eighteen years in the service industry, Rachel found yoga to be a positive way she could wind down after her bartending shifts. It is Rachel’s belief that yin yoga can help tremendously with anxiety, detox and trauma, and she found herself looking for a place she could practice after her shifts. A longtime advocate of accessible yoga, Rachel founded Yin Yoga Space in 2022 in part to open up yoga as an option for workers in Portland’s service and sex industries.

  • Episode #16: From performing for a crowd of 2 to opening for the Boss with Frank Turner
    Feb 12 2024

    Frank Turner is an English punk and folk singer-songwriter. He began his career as the vocalist of post-hardcore band Million Dead, then embarked upon an acoustic-based solo career following the band's split in 2005. He’s been super successful as a solo musician, releasing nine solo studio albums to date, with his most recent studio album, FTHC, reaching number 1 in the UK albums chart in 2022. He’s performed over 2,800 shows over 48 countries, and he’s opened for the Boss himself - Bruce Springsteen! Franks tenth studio album, “Undefeated”, which he'd just finished recording when we chatted last year, is to be released on May 3, 2024.

    But it wasn’t an easy road to success - Frank’s first solo performance was to a “crowd” of 2 and it took him over 3 years to build up to where his previous band, Million Dead, left off.

    Join me and Frank for this episode as Frank opens up about his decision to launch his solo career at age 23 by following his “art.”
