Epik Fails of History

"Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference." - The Serenity Prayer

On this mini-episode, Erik recaps several months of chaos, including an impromptu cross-country road trip / rescue mission from Green Cove Springs, Florida to San Francisco, California and back - while reflecting on some personal life lessons on overcoming life's obstacles, and staying positive during the tough times.
