Unable to cope with the pressures of life, money, and an unplanned baby on the way, Dane was contemplating suicide, but then for a reason he still to this day cannot explain,  he hatched a plan to fake his own death, and start a new life, as a different person!

Luke and Kyle discuss rejection and how we are moulded so heavily as children. Amanda was so desperate to feel acceptance and a love that she never had, that she would literally do anything to feel loved in any way she could.

As a child, Amanda was abandoned and rejected by her parents, and she quickly came off the rails. Drink turned to drugs, and soon Amanda was facing lengthy Jail time for a botched home robbery. Now free once again and with her life completely turned around, Amanda talks openly about how the lack of parental love as a child left her trying to find happiness in all the wrong places. Simply incredible.

Roger Williams is a father of three, author, podcaster, mentor, adventurer, and Head Crosser Offer of his bucket list. After more than 30 years working in the youth development and teaching field, a year in quarantine, and two heart attacks, Roger made a dramatic life change! He embarked on an adult gap year to prioritize a life in which he is known not by his professional work, but by the way he lives his life and the people he grows relationships with. He recently completed a three month journey traveling around the world to cross items off his bucket list.
Roger is passionate about the benefits to living an intentional life through crossing items off his bucket list and helping others do the same.  Supporting others to intentionally live out their bucket list as great way to build confidence, get outside their bubble and bring themselves joy.

Marci Marie Simmons was from a good upbringing, and had a good job. She had made a few wrong turns along the way but was doing well. After realizing the company she was working for  was taking part in some not so above board accounting, Marci started doing some 'creative accounting' of her own. So, she had found a way to steal funds on a regular basis, and had become addicted to 'not getting caught'. She knew she had to stop, but couldn't. Listen to this amazing episode as we hear in detail about the day her world came crashing down. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison for in 2011 for stealing a total of $367k. Although a lot, the punishment did not ,match the crime,  and she was made an example of, even spending time in solitary confinement. She was released on parole in March 2021. Never a violent offender in or out of custody, she is now on a mission to help other female inmates who often suffer the same fate in the USA's corrupt and failed justice system. Wow. What an episode.
