This week we discuss the impact of suicide and mental health. We named this episode purpose for the simple reason that this is our vision of the podcast. Suicide is the biggest killer of men under the age of 45. We understand this is a highly sensitive subject. So please be aware that we are merely trying to raise awareness. Our condolences to Greg and his family during this difficult time. Please speak up!

In today's episode we discuss Karma. By definition Karma is good or bad luck viewed as resulting from one's actions. We relate this to mental health through our own personal experiences, good and bad. Everything you put into the universe will in some way or another come back in full swing.
