Porn Free Radio Episode 156. Well, it's Thursday, May 10th, and I'm releasing a new episode of

Porn Free Radio. Now, it should have been released on Wednesday, but I had some technical

difficulties recording it, and the technical difficulties really threw me. My audio recorder

died twice while recording it once because the memory was full,

once because the battery died. And so by the time I got it going for a third time, I was really

thrown. And I've actually tried to record the episode a couple times today. And I've been

struggling also. And it reminds me of a book that I've been re to record the episode a couple times today, and I've been struggling also.

And it reminds me of a book that I've been reading by Ryan Holiday.

The obstacle is the way.

And in it, he talks about Marcus Aurelius, who I think was one of the last good kings of Rome, he talks about this idea of

when we have a challenge, when we have an obstacle, that the path is actually through the obstacle.

It's not avoiding it.

And it's that obstacle and that challenge that get us to move forward.

And I'm trying to ask myself, why am I struggling with this topic? What's going on with me?

And I think what it comes down to is I'm not that passionate about this topic.

And this is a bad way to start an episode by talking about how not passionate I am about this topic.

But I think it's important for me to be authentic about this.

The reason I want to cover this topic is because it's important to you.

It's a topic that I get asked a lot about. Probably once a week I get asked about this topic. And so I need to get through

this. I need to press through this obstacle so that I can create this episode and get it out

there. Because I think if I can get it out there, if I can press through it, I think some good

can come from it.
