#9 - Michael Sol: Finding Our Way Out of the Wasteland

Lonely, hopeless, lack of direction, lack of real connections, and stuck in distraction. This is the story of not only Michael & I's past but of so many young people today. 
This story of growing up without mentors or a solid roadmap is one that many people have known and is a mark of our current time. We are a generation of wanderers, stumbling through the dark as we try to find the doorway through. 
Growing up we all needed guidance and real connection to elders, but rarely received that kind of support, and in its absence found solace in drugs, porn, and other distraction. Further, in the absence of a true roadmap leading to a purposeful life, many of us took on the cultural roadmap that walks us into an empty, 9-5 desk job. 
Join my brother Michael and I as we unpack the road less traveled, and open up about the raw experience of being a young man trying to a lead a life that we are connected to and lit up by. Spoiler: The path is not easy, and we are very much still trying to figure it out!
I hope you enjoy it!
