In this episode, John discusses why he decided to start sharing about his battle with depression, how he considers life as a series of Hero’s Journeys, and his take on modern marriage and polyamory.

“I didn’t know how to sit down and look somebody in the eye and talk to them about depression, so I did the only thing that I’ve ever really known how to do — which is write.” - John Romaniello
