Eric is getting deep into a very volatile part of his life and rarely does bravery, searching, and revelation occur condensed into a single breath. I hope you listen to his podcast Full Disclosure to hear/understand the intrigue. I hope you can stop by Milk Bar to support somebody of persistance chaos.]
