I was a podcast guest: Life on Earth - Episode 3

Guest on the Life on Earth podcast

I was a guest on a podcast called Life on Earth, created by my friend Ed Kiester. Long ago, he and I met at an athletic club and quickly clicked with long talks while Ed avoided his workout and I avoided boredom during my work shift.

Ed is a very interesting guy and his podcast sounded like a hit, so I accepted his invite right away.

More about the podcast, Life on Earth

Life on Earth is a podcast based on finding the best "you". No one podcast can solve your problems. There isn't one TV show or internet video that is the answer to all that ails you. Your life is probably a mess of hot nonsense. Well, take comfort, so are everyone else's lives. Welcome to Life On Earth. A podcast brought to you with the idea of beginning conversations with physical/spiritual/mental health professionals and allowing them the forum to deliver their message.

Hosts: Ed Kiester and Adam Bailey
