Episode 103: Checking In

Hey y'all, I'm incredibly sorry for the lack of content lately, I explain what's been going on in the intro. This week we sit back down with the always amazing Ash to talk about shitty publishing companies, nuclear war, recovery, and fatherhood. I love these types of conversations that just go their own way. Good stuff.    Be sure and snag a copy of Ash's book here: https://www.amazon.com/12-Strides-Norms-Liberty-Recovery/dp/B0B14MBJM3/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=   Thanks for tuning in and hanging tough with me, I swear I will have some more content out for y'all soon! Be good to each other and we will see you next time! Big love!

Sorry for being absent the last couple of weeks! Been a wild schedule but definitely wanted to drop in and check in with everyone. Also, I wanted to address some of the insanity going on in the LP with messaging and whatnot...figured I'd throw my piece into the void as well. Everything gonna be alright.   Thanks for tuning in and hanging in there! Big love!!!

On this week's episode I'm joined by a man with a spectacular story of tragedy and triumph. Meet Melvin Battiest. Mel is someone that I have the pleasure of working with and who has shared bits of his story with me. He spent 38 years of his life locked up for a crime he wasn't guilty of. In that time he got to help countless amounts of inmates find their way into spirituality and now he has taken that same skillset and he is doing the same outside for people being reintroduced into society after a long prison sentence. This is one hell of a story from one fine example of human tenacity.  Thank y'all for joining me and we will see y'all next week! Big love!!!

On this week's episode I have the always amazing Evan, Jay, BK, and joining us for the first time at the roundtable is JC. We cover a broad range of topics from having a kid in sports, why flour tortillas are superior, how to organize in our communities and how the movie Showgirls fits into it all. You definitely don't want to miss this one!    12 Strides and 12 Group Norms: https://www.amazon.com/12-Strides-Norms-Liberty-Recovery/dp/B0B14MBJM3/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=   Thanks for tuning in and we will see y'all next week!

It's been a beautiful ride and to take a look back on the last couple of years I brought on Mrs Clean Libertarian to discuss what that journey has looked like and where I hope it takes us moving forward. Thank YOU for making this something and for continuously tuning in to the show! Can't wait to see what the future has in store for us, we will see y'all next week! Big love!

I have a very special treat for y'all today, Jeff is my sponsor but more than that he's family to me. This man has walked with me through my greatest triumphs and tragedies, I've learned more about recovery and what it means to be a man from him than anyone else in my life and I wouldn't have it any other way. Jeff hung out to tell his story of struggle and redemption. You DO NOT want to miss this one!   Thank y'all so much for tuning in and be sure to catch next week's 100TH EPISODE!!!!! Big love!

This week I'm joined by the awesome Gruntpa. He has been someone I've followed for awhile on Twitter and it's always been great seeing his approach to talking about addiction and recovery, so naturally I had to get him on the show to talk about his own journey and where he is at today. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and I have no doubt that you will as well!    To follow Gruntpa, check out his Twitter: @th3v0t4ry   To snag your copy of 12 Strides and 12 Group Norms: https://www.amazon.com/12-Strides-Norms-Liberty-Recovery/dp/B0B14MBJM3/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=   Thank y'all so much for tuning in and we will see y'all next week!

This week I am joined by a good friend of mine from the rooms of recovery, Ben D. Ben is someone that has not only walked through hell and back, but he has done so while being a shining light for so many. Ben has a unique ability to philosophize this recovery deal just as much as I do, so this conversation turned into a discussion on the finer points of nuance and reflection that can be found when 2 people with a passion for recovery get together. Enjoy!   12 Strides and 12 Group Norms: https://www.amazon.com/12-Strides-Norms-Liberty-Recovery/dp/B0B14MBJM3/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=   Thank y'all so much for tuning in and we will see y'all next week! Big love!

This week I'm joined by the incredible Thomas Quiter, a living legend in the Libertarian Party. We talked about his own personal struggles with addiction and living with a disability. His story is a humbling tale of what true grit and determination looks like. You're DEFINITELY going to love this one!   Be sure and support Tom at: https://thomasquiter.us/   And to find a copy of "12 Strides & 12 Group Norms": https://www.amazon.com/12-Strides-Norms-Liberty-Recovery/dp/B0B14MBJM3/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=   Thank y'all so much for tuning in and we will see y'all next week!

Today the Sober Caucus met up for a post-convention business meeting and we crossed a pretty monumental threshold. We are able to offer a couple of scholarships to people seeking recovery due to all of the amazing love we have gotten via donations and the like. So to commemorate this milestone, I figured I would do a throwback to an episode from January 2021 where I interviewed Kim Ruff and the concept of a "Straightedge Caucus" was born. This idea has come so very far and we are just getting started!   Thank y'all for the love, support, and good vibes! Thanks for tuning in and will see y'all next week! Big love!
