103: Getting Mentally Ready (w/ Paul F Tompkins) Oct 17, 2018

Show notes

It's a official! It ain't a podcast till the mighty Paul F. Tompkins (Threedom, Spontaneanation and comedy in general) christens the show. Well, it finally happened and PFT was worth the wait. The 'Bells get to hear about his time in Philadelphia, as one of six kids, playing a little a baseball. After that detour of interests it was all theater and comedy for young Paul. It took a major creative milestone for him to realize that he needed to write for himself, get in a healthy relationship, quit smoking and get in shape! Paul talks about how he quit smoking, battles with depression and gives some great insight on self love and self care. This episode is an all-timer, Paul is truly a great guy and guest and this him like you've never heard him.
