I believe that if we are to really understand how vulnerability can benefit our own personal growth, then we need to do more than just talk about it academically, we need to actually experience it, emotionally. 

I realize that if I want to create a space where others will be willing to be vulnerable and share what's truly going on for them in their lives, then I need to demonstrate that I am also willing to go there and do just that.  

I admit I'm a little hesitant to release this episode because of some of the fears and self doubt I confess to, in it.  But I guess that's the whole point of this exercise.  To be willing to show my imperfections and to push past my comfort zones in the pursuit of growth, discovery, and healing.  

Nate is someone I consider to be a true brother in my life.  How to sum up that sort of relationship is in such a short space is a ludicrous task, but here it is: Nate and I were assigned to be freshman year roommates at the University of Delaware back in 2002.  He has been one of my closest friends ever since then, even though for much of the past decade, we have lived very separate lives in many different ways.  

This conversation with Nate did not go as I had anticipated.  (Thank goodness.)

What was intended to be a heady discussion about music and creativity ended up being a raw and heartfelt conversation that helped shift a fundamental belief I had been holding on to for most of my adult life.    

All music from this episode is original music either by Nate, myself, or the two of us together.

This episode is a special one for me.  I hope you get even half as much out of it as I have.
