Thank you for joining me for episode 2 of Wonderful People. I'm very excited to air this conversation I had with a great friend of mine named Aaron Anderson.

Aaron and I met back in high school and over the years have always kept in touch through the highs and lows of life. I've been fortunate enough to watch him grow as an artist and really expand in his field as a highly sought after videographer, writer, director and producer in the Seattle film and music scene. He's worked everything - from writing and directing music videos for up-and-coming artists from the Pacific Northwest - to shooting for Steve Aoki, the Seattle Seahawks and multiple large music festivals to name a few. 

This conversation was a lot of fun and covers a wide range of topics. From our shared upbringing in Oregon, to the path that lead Aaron north in search of meaning, and all the joy and pain along the way.

A few things to note about this podcast:

• Episode contains adult language and drug references. If this bothers or triggers you in any way, please skip it.
• Unless express permission to use names and personal details have been given, they will be changed out of respect for the individual.
• I'm opening up a little about myself in this episode and plan to do more in the future. One thing I want to make clear, especially when it comes to drug abuse, is that I do not condone it. I'm grateful to have made it out the other side but others close to me have not been as fortunate. The hope is that by me talking about my past openly, others might learn something from the mistakes (of which I've made many) and hopefully not follow down the same path.
• I'm truly grateful for Aaron's generosity to sit for 2+ hours and chat with me. He took great effort to make this happen when he could have been spending time with his loved ones, and for that I want to thank him for the wonderful chat.
• Cheers and happy New Years! Here's to a great 2020!
