    Jay Hall | I Used To Be...The Walking Dead


    Dean James interviews Jay Hall about the lead up to the release of his first novel, "The Last First Date". Jay was diagnosed with a condition that doctors said should have killed him years ago. He lived with this (unknowingly) for 8 years, until his health finally deteriorated to a life threatening point. Jay was running a successful business that grew very large and very fast, and the stress of running a business of that size, and lack of enjoyment forced a stop to his life as he knew it. Jay tells Dean about his transition to getting back to health and back to doing all of things that bring him joy; writing, podcasting and running a large-scale Halloween event. Jay's first novel, "The Last First Date" is available now.
