In order to grow, you have to be comfortable being uncomfortable.

This was about as uncomfortable as it gets (and one of the scariest things that I’ve ever done) but also so rewarding in trying to articulate a big portion of my life lately.

I never thought in a million years that I would be up on stage at the Englert Theater in front of 725 people telling my story, OUR story, of the Northside, of my family’s history, of John’s and of our movie Death Of A Brewer Movie.

But I did it.

Huge thanks to Chloe Salmon from The Moth who helped me refine my story, and to Paul Casella for helping me prepare and polish it!

Below in the comments is the full video of my story, I hope you enjoy it!

Prost!
