A Hard Way to Go: With this podcast being what it is, it only made sense to pay tribute to John Prine after his passing. He went from being a mailman to becoming the Mark Twain of singer-songwriters. In episode 55 of The Path to Authenticity, Tom runs through an assortment of John Prine songs, which comprise a Spotify playlist assembled to accompany it. Visit johnprine.com.

The Path to Authenticity is a podcast for people looking for more from life. It focuses on emotional wellness and starts from the premise that our true power comes from our individuality. We talk to various types of writers and artists as well as therapists, coaches, teachers, entrepreneurs, and professionals of all kinds. Our guests possess one common trait.  They’re people who know who they are.  We talk about what makes them who they are, how they became who they are, and how we might become truer expressions of who we are.
