About
Welcome to Not Your Ordinary Parts. This podcast is an outward expression of my deep internal work that I felt compelled to share with anyone willing to listen. What I want to be conveyed most is relatability; I am an everyday guy trying to share the things I've learned on my journey being a flawed human. There will be mistakes, I'll be nervous, I might fumble my words, but maybe, just maybe.... I'll help someone because I was willing to be vulnerable. If you find anything here helpful, please share it.
