Yo Mike,

Congrats on 200 podcasts! And I am very much honored to have been cited as a favorite interviewee! I love the energy you brought to this solo podcast! And the spontaneity with the questions really worked. They say that Lord Ganesh, the elephant god, was the scribe of the Mahabharata. He is always depicted with one of his tusks broken, and he uses it to write. The idea is that he writes with his own being, his very own Self. That is the feeling you conveyed, especially in this podcast.

I (obviously) LOVE that. I used to wear a wooden Ganesh around my neck that Sam brought me back from India and I still believe that little reminder helped me get through a lot. Never connected it to writing and "putting myself out there, as myself!" Thanks!!!!

I can’t believe you’re at #200! I was honored to be #20 (I think that was my number). A few things have changed since then, though. I would answer the questions differently today.

This was an interesting episode, especially your answer about what happens when you die. I will definitely catch up with all of the episodes eventually.

Wrong Alex. hahaha. I was #20. But I love that you can't tell us apart in written form.

I really can't. I can't even tell here. That's hysterical!!! You (alex's) both have that Seattle connection too, see it's even funnier to me! Thanks for letting me know this was "you." :) Hope all is well!
