This week B.C. Dodge inspired me to tell my story of how I came to be involved with Dragon Con and why. It leads through one of the tenants of my life which is to chase your passion, and I believe will get us to stories of how when you truly do what you love then it all flows together for a happy life.The basic principle I am talking about today is…

Too many times in my life I have seen my wife want a great experience only to have it ruined by others. The ruination comes from a lack of communication and a lack of caring to communicate. We are constantly faced with choices in our daily lives and far too many times do we choose to stay silent. No more. My mission is to bring back communication b…

Long before the Giant Size Team Up came around I always knew I never wanted to be a solo act. While I have come into accepting my awesomeness, I still know working with a team brings about change more effectively than me alone. My first real attempt at this in the podcasting world was the Bearcrawling Nation. As I found my first path to success I a…

As I have struggled in keeping to a regular schedule for this show I have had to ask myself "Is this really what I truly want if I am letting other life influences get in the way?"

Rock God of Podcasting How do you Feel About Fighting? Society taught me that fighting and conflict is the worst of the bad juju. Why fight when you can negotiate?

I go through everything that happened, my unadulterated thoughts and emotions, and talk about how even though it came back I was left missing pieces of my life. On the flip side, I…

I have dealt with the concepts of being offensive and taking offense over the last few years. Here I finally get to tie it all together in one episode about how taking offense is all on you. Taking is a verb which means it is something you do. So if you take offense then you are inherently looking for trouble on some level. Once you realize this yo…

Mike has been curious and then it is suggested by Angie - How do you deal with the voices in your head? We all have some kind of voice in our head ranging from our parents to monolog to the thoughts that we have trouble quieting.

The stories he invokes involve our adventure to another …

According to my amazing showrunner and producer Mike Woodard I am strong in the dark side of the force.
