#28 - Von Sprecken - Mania & Melancholy

I sit down with Denver comedian and friend Von Sprecken (IG: @getsprecked). Von has forged himself into the stellar person he is through battles with addictions and growing up with an abusive father. Join us as we explore how Von's recovery has influenced his comedy and outlook on life. This is a truly wild conversation where we cover everything from life philosophy, to personality models, the importance of developing a relationship with unforgiving, what is means to be religious, and more! Do forget to support Von's comedy show about addiction: Second Chance Comedy!
