This picture has nothing to do with the topic.  I just think it's cool

I rapped at work today.  Actually, I performed a skit and a rap with another coworker for a special work anniversary.  The details are unimportant, but the outcome is.  In this solocast, I dive into the topic of ordinary vulnerability, the moment's we speak in front of the entire staff at work, or participate in a softball game, or whatever it is.  These are not the moments with dire life and death consequences.  They are instead, the ordinary yet highly brave sections of vulnerability that can change everything else in one's life.  That is today's topic!  If you want to support this work, please be one of the legends who write me a review on iTunes!  For more of this podcast, head to epicordinarylives.com.
