April 22, 2022 – Becoming/Unstuck with Jessica Sojorne Libere.

A pretty big departure from the other podcasts I’ve been on. We talked a lot more about my motivations behind the work I pursue and more of my personal backstory. In doing so, I discuss why I think wrestling is so important and why I have devoted so much of my life to that work. Jess is a long-time friend, going back to college, and she’s an excellent interviewer. I really like the way she hears things and follows up. I highly recommend checking out the other episodes on her website which you can find after clicking through to this episode.

December 6, 2021 – The Fire Inside Project – fireinsideproject.com

I have created a new website and permanent digital home for this body of work I began in 2015. I’m really excited to have a place for it to live and this launch is the culmination of years of planning and months of work. It will continue growing and evolving as I flesh it out, but it feels really good to have it live to the public for the first time.
