#059 Funcle
The other day my girlfriend and I took my niece out for pizza, ice cream, and a trip to the park. It wasn’t a big event, just a simple after-birthday celebration and a chance to spend some one-on-one time with her. In this episode I talk about why moments like that matter. The days go by fast…

#027 Live Free Stay Wild
