Mike Semick is my special Guest Co-Host for this episode.  We get into some Irish whiskey, talk about staying fit over 40 and whatever else comes to mind.
Recorded March 12, 2020

This episode is all about Balance.  Balancing family... balancing fitness, and balancing that hustle to finance it all.  I also drink some really good beer from Founder's Brewing (can't always give the whiskey all the love).  As always, I spit some facts and do what I can to give you all the father warm-n-fuzzies.

2019 is about to end and I spend a little time talking about the year and some stuff that happened in this great country, around the world, and in my own life.  I also got to enjoy some fantastic Sexton Irish Whiskey!  Like Emma says, make sure you subscribe!
