Based on my recent book by the same title, I share insights on relationships based on my past successes and failures. I am not a psychiatrist. I am not a psychologist. I am not a therapist. I'm just a regular guy who's been through a lot. I want to share my book and experiences in the hopes that others may avoid the same pitfalls and mistakes that I've made over the years. I believe in being completely honest and authentic. Therefore, my podcast (video and audio) will be completely unedited as far as my spoken content is concerned. As in life, we have to live with our mistakes and move on.
