In this episode, a comedy of errors involving a dog in the road, a phone on the floor, and a dead mic kills my first attempt — so I came back the next day recording on the way TO work for the first time. I give a job hunt update, vent about companies that can’t be bothered to send a rejection email, and oh yeah — tomorrow’s my birthday.

In this episode, I give a job search update — 10 applications in and cautiously optimistic. I make a conscious effort to stay positive despite what my brain is telling me. Then I get into AI — I’m not pro, I’m not anti, but I do have thoughts. Including how it helped me break a 15 year creative block and write a screenplay in 6 hours.

In this episode, I’m running on 17 hours of no sleep and still showing up — because that’s just who I am. I kick things off with a rant about people not paying attention in pole position at a stoplight, then get into something more personal: after years of overnight shifts and schedules that have wrecked my sleep and stolen time from my family, I’ve finally had my wake up call. It’s time for a change.

In this episode, I’m back after a couple weeks away — two deleted attempts later — with a recovery update, a massive shoutout to my wife Rebecca for holding everything down, and what it’s felt like returning to the overnight shift. I also get into the No Kings protests, call out people using religion to justify hate, and yes, my sticky note literally just said “Trump Equals Bad.”

In this episode, with surgery four days away, I reflect on filling out my will and the grounding realization that my most valuable assets have never been things. I open up about the anxiety surrounding my upcoming hernia surgery, made heavier by the memory of a brain hemorrhage that followed my last “routine” procedure. I also share a deeply personal story about my best friend Justin — and a night 17 years ago he may not even know saved my life.

In this episode, I get my FMLA approval, complain about the American healthcare system, and come to the conclusion that while money can’t buy happiness, being broke absolutely accelerates sadness. Also, someone in Spain is listening and I’m not over it.

In this episode, I dive into my surgery update, the frustrating reality of FMLA and not knowing when your next paycheck is coming, and the political climate that has all of us losing our minds. As always, go with love.

In this episode, I’m sick, exhausted, and sentimental — talking about medical leave, anniversaries, and the person who made my life better.

In this episode, I share the results of my very stressful health scare (spoiler: not cancer), talk about the chaos in the world, react to the Super Bowl halftime shows, and celebrate a surprisingly great season from Nebraska basketball — all in a very unplanned, very me kind of episode.

In this episode, I talk through a sudden health scare, the anxiety that comes with waiting for answers, and the very real fear that shows up when your body does something it’s not supposed to. I also touch on the realities of navigating healthcare in this country and why talking things out sometimes feels like the only way forward.
