The Road Less Traveled

I had a small revelation while in the shower (where most great epiphanies happen) and realized that I generally inherit the role of a leader whether it's in groups in school or an eventual work promotion (but without the pay it seems). This happened while I was incarcerated and I might say that this is a "special episode" in the beginning, it's just a standard episode. The story I elude to in the beginning is yet to come...

Going to prison forces you to confront yourself and take stock of who you are and who you could be. This episode focuses on gratitude and the act of being grateful even when faced with adversity. Thank you for listening and being respectful. - db

You'd be surprised of easy it was to get drugs in prison and how often I was around them. While I might joke or be sarcastic about the subject matter since it's my own personal experience/story, keep in mind that doesn't mean I'm insensitive to addiction. Quite a few people I did time with got out and immediately went back to drugs; some of them overdosed, and while I wasn't friends with them, it's always sad when someone is unable to better themselves and get the help they need. As always, thank you for being respectful. - db

What do inmates do during the off-season when they aren't fighting wildfires? Did you even know that some prisoners fight wildfires? There's also flood calls, emergency services and forestry services to name a few. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. - db

This episode is all about the pen pals that wrote me while I was in prison! I'm so thankful to have had even a single person write me while I was incarcerated. Having something to look forward and be able to take the time to write back to people outside prison ws invaluable to my mental state and to keep me going. Thanks again guys. -db

The entire purpose of this podcast is to help work through the trauma my being incarcerated and my journey moving forward.

Thank you for listening and being respectful. -db

On this episode I talk about a couple of my wildland firefighting experiences while in prison, but I also ramble a fair amount for the second half. Sorry! Still a fun episode, I promise. Thank you for tuning in and being respectful.

This special episode of The Road Less Traveled podcast is meant to be a sleep tape: Listen, relax, and fall asleep. I don't want you to make it to the end of the episode, I want to send you to dreamland. Rest easy listeners.
