A few months back, I celebrated my 40th birthday.

So I've been thinking about this show for a while now. I knew I wanted to do a 40 Thoughts type show, but I also didn't want to feel rushed when getting it out there.

We had a ton going on at that point in time, so it was the smart move to hold back, take my time and do it right.

Regardless, I've been marinating on this for close to two months now, and I think you're really going to love this show.

I've broken it down into four unique sections, so you can listen to them in any order, or just focus on the ones that seem most pertinent and important to you.

All that I ask is that if you find value somewhere in this show, please help your boy out and share it with someone!
