Episode 21 is here and this week the boys get into ALL the feels as they sit down with the one and only Archie Messersmith-Bunting, the infamous Feelings Guy (aka @archie_cares).

Today’s convo? It’s all about self-care, battling that negative self-talk, and how to support your people when they’re struggling most. Giving Archie a rating of 10 out of 10, today’s ep is unquestionably Josh’s favorite to date—and honestly we don’t disagree.

Be ready to conquer all that negativity people, ‘cause it’s time to go IN.

Archie Messersmith-Bunting, M.S., The Feelings Guy™, is a mental wellness coach, consultant, and professional speaker who helps people discover how leading with their feelings can improve their quality of life and save the lives of those they come in contact with. Archie was a successful musical theater performer in New York City before addiction and clinical depression destroyed his childhood dream and led him to a place where he believed suicide was his only answer. After battling back from the jaws of addiction, Archie now uses the stages he graces to remind others that we are all more than "just" the wreckage of our past. He uses his voice to share with audiences that individual moments and decisions in our life do not define us, but they can help design us. Archie has been featured on multiple NBC, CBS and FOX local affiliates and several podcasts including Braving the Journey, Positive Changes: A Self-kick start, & The Failure Guy.
