Ep. #010 - Josh Longawa. Josh is a successful business owner, loving father and recovered drug addict. Josh and I talk about his sober journey getting clean from alcoholism and a meth addiction. Find out how he went from losing his relationships with his children and having constant run ins with the law, to starting his own business and finding the love of his life while living clean and sober for the last 6 years now. Oh and of course, whether or not he’d kick a puppy… and for the first time ever on The Common Legend I actually present him with a real life puppy that he would be hypothetically kicking.

Ep. #009 - Malinda King. Malinda has a masters in psychology and has spent the last ten years of her career working as a talk therapist. Malinda and I talk about how she practically accidentally fell into her career path, the struggles of being a therapist when the world needed them the most (during the pandemic), the link between spirituality and mental health, and the complications and frustrations that come with dating as a therapist. Think about it.. I mean, if you were on a date with a therapist… would it change how you acted? Malinda also talks about “Post Traumatic Growth”, something that I don’t think is too commonly known. So sit back, relax, and find out if She decides to kick the puppy or not.
