To celebrate our 10th episode milestone, I invited my sister Tina Tenneriello, journalist and communications specialist, to guest host and take the guest role. We explore my journey from a commitment-phobic, pleasure-seeking lifestyle to one of purpose, integrity, and personal growth. We talk about leaving "Neverland"—the state of avoiding responsibility and chasing short-term gratification—and step into a life of intention. From confronting entrenched habits to embracing therapy, fatherhood, mindfulness, and a healthier relationship with wealth, this episode is a candid look at transformation, healing, and what it means to grow up.
