On this episode: Nate is still in his car. Aaron sleeps in a Prius and shares that weird is not an emotion.This week, Nate and Aaron talk to Steve Shields . Steve is a hope dealer who also is a counselor, speaker, recovery coach, founder, board member, probably some more cool stuff too. Steve thinks, as a counselor, most of therapy is a waste of time. He shares his story of being “thanked for not having problems” growing up, and his intro to porn. Sharing how when performance doesn’t work how important it is to double down and perform harder. Steven explains how ibuprofen and porn do the same thing. The guys discuss how its common to hit rock bottom multiple times or being the prodigal son multiple times, and how power and accountability are connected.Links:
