In this episode, I interview Matthew Raabsmith, a pastor and a life coach who works with men and addiction. Matthew shares his personal story with sexual addiction and how he has learned to overcome the shame he carried so long because of it. We also talk about the benefits of community and how it is important to bring close friends and family alongside you while you are on the road to recovery. Thanks for sharing your time with us, Matthew!

Sorry for the extended wait! Life happens, but we are back on track. I hope you have been enjoying our "(What is) Love?" series on the Patreon page. The last installment comes out tomorrow! 

In the ep, I talk about a great new book by Justin Baldoni called Man Enough; Undefining my Masculinity. While I haven't read the book yet, I am so stoked for Justin to have put this out into the world. More men should be having this conversation and the fact he was so bold as to write about it and then publish it, my hat's off to you! Thanks for sharing your story. 

I share about a great book I am reading called, Hooked: How to create habit-forming products. Do you want the inside scoop to a new product I am building? Send me an e-mail and let's chat!

To wrap up I talk about the crazy story of WeWork and their 47 billion dollar evaluation, which I found out about after watching a sweet documentary on Hulu. Check it out and send me a DM and let me know what you think! Make sure to check in with the show notes and give a little love to our regulars and check out our Patreon series!----more----

Grab a seat (and maybe a few tissues) and join me and my good friend, Nick Warnes, as we hear about his family's journey with fertility and deciding to enter into In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Nick shares with us how he and his wife, Whitney, came to the decision together, and what it was like to endure the highs and lows of getting good news followed by the heartbreak of getting the worst news any parents can get. But the story doesn't end there for the Warnes! They have a beautiful son, Lee, and are both finding happiness with the blessings they have today. But do they want to give the process another go? You will have to tune in and find out! Thanks Nick for coming on and sharing your story!----more----

Buckle up you fuckin' wankers we are in for a wild fucking ride talking all things "swears" with Barry Taylor! I first met Barry as a young kid in Seminary, bright-eyed and full of hope. Barry opened my eyes wider and gave me more hope than I could have ever expected one person to give me in a lifetime and I am forever grateful to him for it. Barry and I talk about swearing as a universal expression, how swear words like, "pu$$y" have been reclaimed in songs like "W.A.P." by Cardi B. (ft Megan Thee Stallion.) And here is a little secrete for you...everyone swears! Even your grandma. Don't be a wanker and listen to this episode twice! Do it! ----more----Show Notes: Barry's Links; Book Instagram

Big time "THANK YOU" to Kevin Garcia for coming by to have an amazing chat about "heaven." So much was shared about our past and individual upbringings in Church.

In this special episode, Ryan talks about one of the things he is most proud of creating in 2020, a song for his son, Reece! Get an inside look at “Ten Tiny Toes” and hear the song before it is fully recorded in the studio. 

"This song was written about the night our son was born and it is very, very special to me. I think any parent can appreciate the details and how vivid the memory of this special event can be. Thanks for listening!” - Ryan ----more----
