Episode notes
Before we go any farther down these back roads, I figured you ought to know who’s driving.
In this episode, I’m stepping away from the folklore, old stories, and questions for a minute to tell you a little about me—where I came from, where I’ve been, and why coming home means something different to me now.
When I was a kid, all I did was fight to get away from here. Funny thing is, from the day I left, it feels like all I’ve done is fight to get back home.
I’ve been all over. I’ve lived hard, made mistakes, survived things I probably shouldn’t have, and spent a lot of years running in one direction or another. At 40, I think I’m finally ready to quit running.
Maybe finding your roots isn’t always about discovering where you came from.
Sometimes it’s about realizing you never really left.
Welcome back to Society of Back Roads.
