Episode 137: For this week's episode, we examine second chances and what those look like for each of the hosts. Joining us for this episode is special guest Duke Pieper, the Minnesota author of the book, I'm Alive: Courage, Hope and a Miracle. Duke shares his inspirational story of overcoming the odds after undergoing a brain surgery that offered a 5% chance of living. Not only did he survive, Duke learned how to walk, talk and live again. With his book, foundation, and a focus on moving forward into the future, Duke encourages us all to live life fully – especially in the face of great difficulty.

Don't let the Minnesota accents fool ya!  These two gays and two gals are solving the world's problems two drinks at a time.

Features Strong Language, Mature Themes, and Midwest Advice from the Twin Cities.
