Every parent's worst nightmare Nov 16, 2021

Show notes

Listen to this show because it could save your life!

Back in the 90s a plane crashed into the mountains and when they started examining it they couldn’t figure out what happened. There were no mechanical defaults, no pilot error. The plane just seemed to crash. What really happened is one of the most tragic parenting stories you’ll ever hear.

Remember Gotye? Do you know why he didn’t have another hit? You might not like this song, but there’s no denying it was a huge hit. What he did instead of making a hit is actually really incredible. 

We think of movies as a fairly recent invention. Something that happened around the turn of the last century. But movies have actually been around since the stone age.
