This episode is a change of pace in the second part of my conversation with Ash, as we move away from our conversation around the church, and discuss growing up in Australia, how we use coping mechanisms when times are tough, and addiction. I found this one particularly eye opening.

In this episode, I catch up with Ash, an old schoolmate who I've not spoken to in 10+ years. In our chat, we discuss growing up with different faiths, how that upbringing put us on different paths towards the same goal, and his tumultuous relationship with the church.

In this episode, I chat with my good mate James about the pressures of life as a young (-ish?) man, the expectations placed on you by others (as well as yourself), life in a fast-paced city, and the unexplored impacts of the pandemic.
