This episode begins differently than any other as I throw Marc under the bus! Neither one of us had any idea that we were recording, but once it was out in the Universe, it was exactly how this episode needed to start. Marc’s energy is contagious, and when we get together, the most epic things happen. Marc opens up about his spiritual journey from religion to joy and everything in between. His honesty, openness and vulnerability is truly a testament to how incredible he is as a human. We dive deep, and I mean deep. In this episode we talk about coming out of the spiritual closet (this one hits you first thing) joy, happiness and universal oneness finding and then running from joy The dark decade What living in joy really means And this is just the tip of the iceberg. The hour flew by and both of us could not believe how much we still had to say. You don’t want to miss listening to this incredible episode! Also… should Marc and I do a podcast together?
