Today I present you with a friend I've known since high school. She is such a kind person who has been through a lot in her life, of which we talked all about.

We talked a little about high school times, how Melissa met her husband Matt in high school, a bit about their relationship throughout the years, Melissa's personal struggles in her childhood, a good bit about anger and rage, addiction, therapy, her close encounters with death, we briefly touch on artifice intelligence and technology, and being kind.

Today, I bring you Jameson Loyd! This episode features WAY more dog barking than usual, so I apologize for that. The fact that this was the last recorded audio of my recently passed dog, Ichabod, it wasn't as annoying to me because I was able to hear his weird honk bark again.

Jameson started the conversation by asking me about what made me start this podcast and then we kinda just flowed from there with Jameson eventually taking the reins and sharing some old stories about some of his upbringing, getting into music, meeting Kanye West, manifestation, some of his philosophies and beliefs about life, etc.

I hope you enjoy!
