Hello, humans, Sam here. Very special episode today. This is actually an episode from another podcast called

The Best Advice Show, hosted by a friend of mine, Zach. And this episode covers a story of mine, and I just thought he did such a fantastic job.

We actually had to record twice. He needed more. He asked if, hey, can we grab

some more interview? I said yes. I thought it turned out spectacular. And when he asked if I would

be willing to share on this stream to you listeners, I was delighted and excited to share it with you.

So here is a special guest spot on our podcast,

making amends in the key of C.

And if you like this episode,

please remember he has his own show

called The Best Advice Show,

where you can listen to many more.

Enjoy.

Hey, it's Zach. This is the best advice show.

Sam Lamott is my guest. He calls himself a teen dad.

My son is 12. I had my son when I was 18 or 19. God, I can't remember now.

But so I've just always felt like I'm a teen dad, you know, or at least a former teen dad.

X meth head, call his drop out, and I'm somebody who's trying to figure out what it means to be human.

Sam has some advice for us today about how to make amends.

But to get there, I think you need to hear this story first.

It starts when Sam's 15 years old, he's living in the Bay Area,

and he's trying to feel part of something.

You know, I didn't have a dad.
