Not necessarily in the art of wood stroking but loves to share his knowledge.  In this episode we hear Dan's story. We talk about when trusted people fail to guide us correctly and the different approaches to teaching people. I hope you enjoy. Please feel free to give me your feedback on this episode or the podcast in general. Thank you all for listening so far.

I brought Kristin (wife) back on, to talk with me about hitting your "breaking point".  In this episode I share some heavy stuff that happened to me and how this moment became the catalyst, to proactively make change in my life.

Have you got someone in your life that you wish would support you a little more in your dreams? In this episode I interview my wife about putting up with me!  I hope you can take something away from this episode that makes you see things from their side. Having that someone in your life that supports you in what you do is important but just as important is to take care of them as well.
