What's Next
Michael and Bryan are ready to disrupt the way society thinks and cut through the bullshit they believe is holding people back! Each week they sit down with guests who share their journeys from “where I was, to where I am now” to the ultimate question; “What’s Next?” We all think we’re alone with our struggles but when we open up and share our story we not only begin the healing, we unlock the door for someone else to heal! So if you’re ready; buckle up and let’s go!
