When he’s not sketching random thoughts, he’s running a podcast about the NJ Punk Scene from the late 90s to early 2000s. He also owns an animation company. We chat about creating his comic @dailyBred and how he wrote his first book and, later, his most recent book, The Couple's Checklist.

Every day he wakes up and draws his comic and posts it to his Instagram. The character is basically him and his thoughts.

After a year or so of drawing the character, Mike put together a book of a collection of his comic. He created "How to get Divorced." In writing the book, he discovered he was sharing his divorce story. 

Mike candidly shares the story of his divorce and the emotions he went through you during the divorce process and eventually forgiving his ex. 

From his perspective, it felt like they went from very loving one day, the relationship ended. Part of dealing with the loss of his marriage, Mike sold all his possessions and hit the road to Austin, Texas, with plans to travel up to Seattle as well. He gave up drinking for five months. Nothing seems to help. He heard of LandMark and attended the seminar, which some people think is a cult. Someone at the seminar said, "I just realized he was just not into me," and it clicked for him.

He felt like he needed to forgive his wife and the person for who she left him. He felt like he regained control of his life. But that didn't magically fix everything. He still had issues with relationships and personal growth to accomplish. He had to learn to let go of not wanting to date.
