Ben Tolkan is anything but naive; he’s well aware that each day is a fight for his life. In facing down years of chemotherapy, Ben has powered through illness and fear to arrive at a triumph of love. He is a part of a wonderful family, has a great job with Brooklyn Brewery, and in December, he married Abby, the love of his life. The future is unknowable for anyone, especially for him. But despite his protests, everyone who knows Ben and everyone who hears this episode will learn lessons of how to value the present. And we thank him for that. We wish you, your wife Abby, and your family many beautiful years together. Washingtonian article about Ben: “I Was All Set to Become the Most Popular Guy in the Cancer Ward. Then I Met My Nemesis: Ben” https://www.washingtonian.com/2016/12/11/my-mr-chemotherapy-contest-nemesis-ben/ Heroes of the week: Women’s March organizers, Omaha Nation elder Nathan Phillips who faced down the MAGA Hat Kids, and Ben Tolken himself. Intro music: “Gum Gum” by Hailu Mariga (http://soundcloud.com/hailumergia) Ending music: “Burn Baby Burn” by Ladygod (http://soundcloud.com/ladygodftw)

Everyone goes through struggles in life, and we believe that the way forward begins with knowing yourself. Today, we discuss the twists and turns along our sometimes difficult paths in order to better understand ourselves and the world around us. Remember that life is a journey, and sometimes the story that we tell ourselves and the world isn't right anymore; maybe it hasn't been right for a long time. But there are ways to find yourself again: through discussion with loved ones, therapy, medication when needed, by grabbing onto the "wheels of happiness," maintaining perspective, and practicing appreciation for life's many gifts. If things get dire, The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you need help, call 1-800-273-8255 or visit https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org. To access free or low cost mental health services, check out the Open Path Psychotherapy Collective at https://openpathcollective.org. No matter who you are, you deserve to learn, grow and be happy. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. Love, David & Dan.

When a cryptic op-ed appeared in The New York Times, it set off a frenzy in US politics. The writer, an anonymous senior official in the White House, criticized the President for whom they served as amoral. With his interest piqued, co-host Dan Bloom decided to do a little online sleuthing. Although the writer's identity remains unknown, there was one key clue that led to Dan's guess. Vice President Mike Pence happens to use an unusual word conspicuously often that also appears in the op-ed: "LODESTAR," defined as “a star that is used to guide the course of a ship.” Just two days later, while basking in the viral notoriety of his hypothesis, Dan was surprised to find his own vocational lodestar suddenly go dark when he was laid off. Luckily, a new, and exciting project quickly materialized, which in turn led to an invitation to the Arab Reporters for Investigative Journalism conference (ARIJ18) in Jordan. When David Ross left a steady office job to find his own lodestar in more creative work, he could never have anticipated the emotional peaks and valleys he would come to traverse. Along this path, David developed resilience, resolve, and tangible skills like the art of booking talent. David is now using this unique skill set to manage musicians and other acts with his company “Forest and Farms.” DJ/Producer wunderkind Dreamcast (http://soundcloud.com/burymeinamink), indie rock band Ladygod (http://soundcloud.com/ladygodftw), and NBA legend Rod Strickland all make appearances in David’s story, which illuminates the invaluable lessons of “consistent persistence,” self-discovery, and transformative reinvention. One of David’s aforementioned acts, Ladygod, is playing a show at Washington DC’s Songbyrd Music House on Wednesday, January 9th, 2019. Come hang with the maDCap boys at this complimentary ($7 suggested donation) soiree. Find more information and RSVP here: https://www.songbyrddc.com/shows/2019-01-09-ladygod 2018 heroes: Robert Mueller III and Michelle Obama Podcast recommendations: "Bag Man" and "Slow Burn" Next week, we present a no-holds-barred conversation about mental health, starting with our own.
