The Road Less Traveled

Episode 56 - Disclosure

On episode 55 of The Road Less Traveled I disclose my financial and personal starting point upon being released from prison. I thought it would be helpful for people to understand that I wasn't starting from zero even though I was starting over. I am very fortunate and grateful for all the help I've received during my incarceration and my continued effort to move forward. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db

Episode 55 - Plan for Clarity

With only 6 months left on parole, I feel like I have a clear direction for the next phase of my life... I lay it out on this episode, what led me to some of these realizations, and the very real fear behind some very real possibilities. As always, thank you for tuning in and being respectful. -db

Episode 54 - California Fires

The California Wild Fire's are burning out of control and hitting LA and the Pacific Coast Highway. I never thought I'd be fighting wild fires one day while I was incarcerated and can only imagine what those people are going through having seen firsthand what the Paradise fire in CA did. Stay safe and stay strong. -db

Episode 53 - Happy New Year

Happy New Year from the Road Less Traveled podcast! Be safe out there. As always, thank you for listening. I have nothing but gratitude for still being around to even experience life, so thank you for sharing a portion of your time with me. -db

Episode 52 - Dream Trauma

I decided to record a surprise episode that I'm just going to upload right now since the last month or so has been slightly off schedule. Still having recurring nightmares about being in prison even though I've been out since 2021. As funny as some of these episodes can be and also in spite of the fact that I try to handle most of it with humor, there is the obvious that it's had a lasting effect on me. It'll be a long time to process which I didn't acknowledge in the episode, nor did I mention that it's kind of counter to the last few episodes in which I felt at ease/nearing the conclusion of this podcast. Feels like there's still more to say. Thank you for listening and being respectful. Happy Holidays. - db

Episode 51 - Time

This episode is themed around "time" and how little of it we seem to have (or too much, if you happen to be incarcerated). Happy Holiday's guys, stay safe out there. Thank you for listening. -db

Episode 50 - World State

As we near the end of 2024 I reflect on the state of the world and how crazy it can be for anyone who's gone to prison to reintergrate back into a rapidly changing world. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. - db

Self Apology

This episode is an apology to myself to do better, to not make excuses, to do the work, to get it done, to keep going, to be transparent, to be honest with myself, and to never give up. Thank you for listening and being respectful. -db
