In the debut episode of Respectfully, we rip the Band-Aid off. I talk about why this podcast exists, how the American Dream lied to me, and what it means to start over without sugarcoating anything. From Navy grit to mental breakdowns, tattoos, DMT, and raising my daughter in a world that feels upside down—this is the raw intro to a bigger conversation. No scripts. No bullshit. Just me, talking to you. Respectfully.
