ABOUT THE PODCAST #2  

Well, where do we start. Lessons I learned during my twenties. I feel I could've gone on for another hour or so! This is absolutely skimming the surface in terms of detail. I listed down around 30 bullet points. There's lot of stories, anecdotes and silliness (Karl Pilkington eat your heart-out).  

It's also incredibly personal to me. This podcast shares a lot of personal stuff, some stuff that not many people will know about. I don't want to say I've put myself in a vulnerable position, it's more for others to listen and hopefully take note. If I can get one of you to turn around and say "hey, do you know what, I can relate to that as well, maybe I'll heed his advice and steer clear". That's the aim. To share life experiences and pass on knowledge. (I don't want to sound like some stuck-up middle class millennial, you know "oh hard I've had it"). But seriously, this is to help others. That's my intention. As well as to entertain.  

I've listened to this podcast around 5 times. I've toyed whether to do it again, whether to re-record parts, but do you know what, it is what it is. It was a state of consciousness that was a moment. It's in the past. It's gone. Nothing is perfect!  

Anyway, self-doubt aside, I hope you enjoy it.   

If any of you want to discuss things in private with me, then you can email me at a.g.lewis@hotmail.co.uk I'd love to hear from you. Seriously. I'm absolutely doing this to make myself open to others who want to chat.   

Next week I plan to tackle the juicy subject that is gambling addiction. I know a couple of blokes that recently took their own lives because of huge financial debt, and it's a subject that quite frankly, sails very close to me. I will be open and honest, it'll be a bit like attending gambler's anonymous session I'm sure, but it's time to lift the lid on a dirty secret of mine. A big, horrible lesson I learnt during my twenties. That's all for now. Stay tuned for that episode which will be published Sunday 7pm next week.  

Peace and love!
