STAND UP! Mental Health, Resiliency, and Music.

In this episode, I talk about what the rebranded show is all about, what listeners can expect to hear when they choose an episode, and why I’ve decided to change things up a bit. It’s still the same format—just a little more nuanced and search-engine friendly. At the end of the introduction, I play a great new EDM track from Granada, a DJ from Barcelona, Spain. The song is called Out of Control. If you feel like dancing, go right ahead!
