Summary

Tom is the father of a friend of mine. After chatting with him for a few minutes, I asked if he'd share a bit of his life story on the podcast. I'm glad he did. He's living a life of surprising adventure and depth, as you'll hear.

Hey you, how's it going out there? I'm coming to you a little late this week. A couple of reasons

0:34.6

one you may hear already my voice is kind of fucked. Has been for a couple of weeks now, I had this

0:43.4

chest cold that just won't let go. It's like there's some sort of squid in my lungs.

0:50.2

Anyway, so that and then also I was up in the Sierra's this last weekend. I just came down

1:01.4

yesterday, which was Tuesday, Thursday's Wednesday, June, something June 7th. Damn time flies.

1:10.7

Anyway, so just got back to LA and I'm getting to back in the saddle as it were. I'll only be here

I believe maybe the medical director. I'm not sure which we'll see when I get down there.

1:45.1

But Kyle Tehrman, the pro surfer I had on a few episodes back, knows the people down there and

2:24.0

I'm a big fan of transparency and I want you to always feel that I'm straight with you as to

2:31.2

what's going on on my end of the microphone. So that's what's going on. I'm going down there for

And then I get back to LA, crash for a few hours and then I get on a plane to Europe. I'm flying
