On this episode, Mike and Manny talk about failure and regret. No one is perfect and we are always going to fail at something, but its that fear of failure that keeps us from trying again and prevents us from accomplishing things. If we are able to accept that failure is apart of life, we can teach ourselves to be ready for it and use our failures to learn and grow from.

Throughout all our lives, we all have good and bad memories. As we grow older and move away from those memories, we sometimes remember and relive those memories due to certain triggers in our normal day lives. This is episode is a simple reminder that sometimes these triggers can't be avoided, but with help from others we can actually help mitigate some of these triggers.

Mike and Manny discuss a very simple question, why do we wait for Thanksgiving to realize the things we are thankful for? In a life that has so many distractions, it is easy to sometimes feel like there is nothing to be thankful, but we should all know that this thinking is what keeps us from moving closer to happiness.

Mike and Manny discuss the importance of taking care of yourself and treating yourself the same way you treat those who you care about. In order to begin self care, you need to be honest about who you are and about your struggles.

In this episode, Mike and Manny try to explain that the development of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) came from a set of skills or tools they had to learn during a traumatic event in order for them to survive both physically and mentally. This episode is not meant to solve PTSD, but instead it is meant for everyone to understand very briefly why many of us have PTSD and why it is important to realize that it does not make us weak. 

On this episode, Mike and Manny share a story of a young man who just left the Marines and struggling to fit in. They discuss on the show a very simple idea that we tend to forget, we are all not the same and we shouldn't be afraid of it. Though it may be difficult, we all need to share our stories with one another because after all, if we were all exactly the same, life would be boring.
