About This Podcast

Life isn't always pretty, and sometimes it helps to talk about it. This podcast is for men of all ages who are struggling with some aspect in life. I'm not a doctor or a therapist, but I AM someone who is fortunate to have a strong network of friends who are willing to get into the $#!T and have difficult conversations without judgement. Honestly, this podcast is mostly for me. I process things a lot better by talking. I hope you gain something from simply listening. Get in touch via the website below. (www.thathighschoolbook.com). Join the conversation. You are not alone.
