One of the hardest questions I have been asked to answer is, how I got from wanting to kill myself to loving my life. I try to lay the ground work of that answer in this episode. 

I mention 2 book. The Power of Now and Happiness: A Guide to Developing Life's Most Important Skill.

Thanks for listening. Please ask questions.

Asking for help is the strong thing.

After my suicide attempt, I woke up, with purpose. 

I started to solidify my reason for being here, for staying here and motivation for moving forward. 

I talk about the first few weeks after waking up and start laying the ground work for the next batch of episodes. 

It gets better. Ask for help. Ask questions.

In this episode I cover the month or so from the end of my marriage to the night I tried to overdose.  As you can tell, I was unsuccessful. I have had many people ask me about this time period, so I thought I should cover it.

I could have made a better choice, but it propelled me forward and I haven't stopped moving forward since. 

Ask for help. Call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline 1-800-273-8255

From here on the episodes get much more uplifting and motivational. 

Thanks for listening. Ask questions.  

I go back to the beginning and talk about who I was before my suicide attempt. Some of the bigger events and some things that show who I used to be.

I had some people ask me some tough questions, and I needed to backup my story so I could try to answer them properly. 

This is in preparation for really digging into the changes I made to become who I am today. I will try to offer strategies and ideas to help others.|

As always, ask questions.

Had the chance to go to Scotland with BrewDog on a chartered flight with a bunch of BrewDog fanatics.

I had the chance to sit down with the brew master from Giant Jones Brewing located in Madison WI.

Jessica Jones has made a huge mark on the brewery scene in Madison and all of Wisconsin. 

They brew "Big Beers for Everyone" 7% ABV and up. 

They are also very involved in the local community. Recently they raised around $8500 for the local Rape Crisis Center. They didn't just donates profits like most people do, they donated everything from a specially brewed beer called Credible Ale. 

This is a most stop if you are in the area for any reason. 

Check out their Facebook page for more info.

As always, ask questions. 

Be excellent to each other.

In this episode I talk about depression and how it lies. How it compresses you in to a tiny space. I give some ideas of how to get out.

I talk about the strength of vulnerability and the power of asking. I also read a relevant quote from The Art of Asking from Amanda Palmer.

I also talk about compassion a little bit. How important it is we have it for every human on the planet. Life is a team sport.
