#114: Michael Smoak: The Harsh Truth About Love Men Fear To Admit

Description

Big claim: one of my favourite episodes of the year. Michael Smoak (@higherupwellness) returns to the show. 


If you liked the first time Mike came on, you wont be disappointed with this one. Completely different conversation, yet an absolute banger.


Something about the synergy we have together is one I’m beyond blessed about.


This episode was all about relationships, love, overcoming hardship, the battles that a man has and so much more.
