This is my first solo episode. I've been thinking a lot about the identity of this show. Stupid Deep originally started as an experiment and I've realized it has to be more than that. It has to be for YOU. In this episode I dive into my latest epiphany and some key moments in my life that have lead to the new direction for this show. Episode Resources: Protesters storm US Capitol — ABC News — News ClipGeorge Floyd protests: Unrest escalates in demonstrations in more than 30 US cities — News ClipUS hits all-time high in new COVID-19 cases — Fox News — News Clip

Hey! I accepted a fulltime position (it's the first time I won't be working for myself in 5 years) and I'm super excited about it. I'll be working with Lewis Howes & Team Greatness, who was the first episode of this show. That being said, I do want to make some changes to this show.   1. Format. I'll be making some tweaks starting with the next episode. I want to focus more on the guests.2. I am going to hold off on releasing episodes until first week in February. This will allow me to stockpile episodes so I'm not rushing each week while also getting acclimated in my new position.

Just some quick announcements! This is not a narrative episode :) Narrative episodes will return Jan 13th.

Santia Deck has made history... a lot. She signed a multi-million dollar contract with the Women's Football League Association and became the highest paid female football player. She founded Tronus and became the first female professional athlete to own a sneaker company.   This is a unique episode, because it was repurposed from my former show, Strange on Purpose. I'm using it as an intro into who Santia is and her background. When I get more of her time we will dive into everything that I wish we talked about in this interview :).   Guest Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/trackbaby001/?hl=enGuest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/santia-deck-033b6b85/Guest company website: https://tronusofficial.com/
