Welcome to the introductory episode of I Know Nothing! This is a podcast about understanding struggles, the importance of feeling heard, and not being a turd to others. Vulnerability is strength, and Phil Butwinski's showin' his guns as he walks us through his journey of substance abuse, incarceration, and existing as a nine-time convicted felon. Most importantly, though, we hear about self love and healing. This episode contains material that might be sensitive to some, such as substance abuse,  mental health, racial profiling, adoption, and policing.
