Finding a new career, once you're already settled in and comfortable with an existing one, can be exciting and risky. As we mature, we often find ourselves wanting to do something more significant with our life, and we better understand our unique skill set and passion. In this episode, Brandon and Mike talk about making the big switch.

This episode is bound to raise some ire as I'm going to share some thoughts on a subject which most people stay away from. As a Christian, I get a number of calls to boycott businesses, mostly coming from Christian organizations. I address this, but from a point of view of a business owner put in a position of "boycotting" customers should I choose to do so and why I've taken the position to still sell rings to gay couples, even though I don't support homosexuality.

In this episode Brandon and I talk about when to drink and when not to and how to deal with unemployment. The alcohol discussion brings up some fresh thoughts for me regarding my dad's death (only a week before this recording). We also delve into smoking (weed and/or cigarettes) of which Brandon had some fondness of the former.

This is a great episode and covers a lot of ground as we get into alcoholism, self-control, and how to get back on your feet after getting knocked out of your cubicle chair.

Everyone loves a great story, where the scrawny kid stands up to the bully and becomes a hero. Bas Rutten's life is that story! You may know Bas as a UFC Champ or MMA Fighter, or perhaps as an actor alongside Kevin James (Here Comes the Boom, Kevin can Wait), or maybe you've not heard of him, but, he's exactly the kind of man you'll want to know and follow.

In this episode we talk about Bas' fighting career, how to handle bullies, becoming a comedy star and having a lot of laughs along the way. Towards the end we delve into Bas' Christian views as well. This was really unplanned, which is always great, and Bas' passion really comes through (as it always does).
