Today's episode is particularly interesting because I met Michael some 30 seconds before we started filming! I chose the Monroe Arts Walk as a general destination and had no idea who I would walk around the block with. It was a super chill walk. Nice meeting you Michael, good luck, and thanks for taking part! Please like and share to help grow this thing!
