On this final episode of season one I sit down with my best friend Jason Kerry. We put some lo-fi hip hop on in the background that hopefully isn't too noticeable to set the mood. Jason slowly works his way through a fifth of captain while we talk about his journey and tell stories. We also end up accidentally endorsing a pizza chain, which turns out Jason use to work for, and we get interrupted by Alexa... who just wants to help, I guess.

Today I have a virtual chat with my friend Adam Binkley, who is yet another musician that I brought on the show! Wouldn't you know it he just happened to recently released a new solo album too! In all seriousness though, I love the album. He's one of my favorite people, and I really admire his journey to where he is now (a journey that includes biking to Montana on a whim). Also, I let him have full audio control over the episode, so we'll see how that goes!

This week I sit down with the handsome Randy Assell. BMX, throwing discs, too many surgeries, stepping away from what you love, singing, writing plus much more. I could talk to Randy for hours, but don't worry, I didn't! Still, great chat, love this guy!
