I open up about my personal journey and the deep lessons I've learned about what it means to truly be alive. I share why I started this podcast—born from a desire to break free from a monotonous, unfulfilling life—and how that journey has unfolded.

One of the most defining chapters in my life was caring for my brother Riley during his battle with cancer. That experience changed me. It taught me the importance of presence, connection, and truly living. I talk about how play, spirituality, and meaningful relationships have become pillars in my life, and why I believe they matter more than chasing material success.

I also share my thoughts on college, entrepreneurship, and marriage—how each of those have shaped who I am and where I'm headed. This episode is an invitation to reflect, to grow, and to be fully engaged in the journey of life. I'm honored to have you here for it.
