Guys. I CAN’T WITH THIS CONVO.

Mary Heffernan shares her story of how she and her attorney husband Brian risked everything and sold it all in the suburbs to raise their 4 little girls on a cattle ranch in Northern California. THEY HAD TO LEARN HOW TO DO EVERYTHING. And now they are a successful company growing every day.

It wasn’t overnight. It was a lot of hard work. But today's conversation will make the most pessimistic 1/2 dreamer out there come alive.

On Tuesday I spent 8 hours inside a maximum-security prison here in Tennessee and even got to visit an inmate on death row.

One of the inmates told me that the person they hurt had forgiven them. And now they are freer inside than they ever were outside.

It got me thinking DEEP about forgiveness.

Today I dive deep into the 3 types of forgiveness that finally gave me freedom.

I unpack them.

My wife’s forgiveness of me for how I wounded her…

My forgiveness of others for their wounding me…

And my forgiveness of self for hating me…

(That last one is a doozy so hang on…)

I think that many of you may just find the freedom you have been looking for...

So join me with learning to love the F word…

Forgive…

I stopped to have some Chick-fil-A in concourse A of the Atlanta airport and noticed nobody was paying attention to this piano player, so I thought I would sit down and enjoy his music.

After listening for a few minutes I invited him over for a chat.

I learned that Tonee has kidney disease and is on dialysis 9 hours every night but then comes to the airport to play piano 4 hours a day…

I saw his empty tip jar and asked my InstaFamilia to cash app and Venmo a tip for him.

30 minutes later, and after a 20-minute conversation getting to know him, we tipped Tonee $10,000… which has since grown to $55,000 in 12 hours.

In today's podcast, I sit down with Tonee and his wife Mickey to surprise them with the news that their $10,000 tip has morphed into $55,000 and their reaction is everything.

Tonee shares his life journey on today's episode and it is nothing short of heroic. There is so much to learn from his life.

Oh. His wife Mickey TAKES OVER the interview in what is sure to be one of my favorite podcast moments ever...

This is what human hope is all about…

Texas? They came after me on Instagram this week when I said that Dallas was Central Texas. 

Which caused me to go through trauma that ended up with me in therapy for 4 days in San Diego.

Only 1/2 way kidding.

In today's episode, I take a deep dive into my journey with my dad's dementia and how therapy is helping me process it all.

I also give you 2 acronyms that will help you communicate better with those you love.

Those are worth the price of admission to this podcast alone.

Leeann Miller met a strong, soft-spoken Amish young man when her father hired an Amish carpentry crew to fix their suburban home fireplace.

28 days later they eloped.

30 years later she sits down to tell us the story of how their 30-year love story started and how it’s going.

I haven’t been this enthralled with a guest’s story in a long time.

What does sacrifice really mean when it comes to relationships?

How has the current cultural climate diluted what true love means?

What can we learn from how the Amish do community?

LeeAnn’s story is fascinating and I’m ready to squeeze all the wisdom out of her story and the Amish way of life…
