20 Year Timeout is a podcast about rediscovery of people, memories, and the twists life takes. Each episode, I reconnect with someone I lost touch with sometimes 20 years ago, sometimes just last week. A childhood friend, an old bandmate, someone who quietly disappeared from your life. We pick up the thread, press unpause, and see where the story goes. It’s unscripted, funny, reflective, and full of unexpected insight. If you’ve ever wondered what happened to that person and what reconnecting can reveal about creativity, culture, and who we’ve become, hit play. 🎙️ Real conversations. Imperfect memories. Honest reconnections.

    Jazz Roots Go Deep

    In this episode of 20 Year Timeout, I reconnect with Anthony Fuller, an athlete, risk analyst, musician, and the son of a jazz legend whose life and friendships shaped generations of music. Anthony and I had not truly connected since high school. In this real time reunion, the conversation moves freely across memory, identity, creativity, and personal growth. We talk about growing up in Worcester, elite sports, music legacy, financial careers, fatherhood, generational trauma, and the questions that shape who we become over time. Anthony shares remarkable stories about his father’s athletic discipline, life on the jazz circuit, and growing up in a multigenerational, multicultural household influenced by some of the greatest musicians of all time. From football and academics to risk management, mentorship, and creative healing through music, this conversation is thoughtful, wide ranging, and deeply human. This episode captures what 20 Year Timeout is all about: rediscovering people from the past and learning who they are now.

    Reconnecting With Kindergarten Best Friend

    In this episode of 20 Year Timeout, I reconnect with Billy, my very first best friend from kindergarten. We had not seen or spoken to each other in over thirty years, yet the conversation picks up as if no time has passed at all. What begins with childhood memories quickly expands into a wide ranging and curious discussion about life, fatherhood, identity, and how our minds work. We revisit Mortal Kombat battles, Nintendo, prank calls, and early internet mischief, then move into deeper territory including Billy’s journey from police academy to psychology, his work helping people through addiction and recovery, and how martial arts, spirituality, and personal growth shape confidence and purpose. The conversation is thoughtful, funny, reflective, and occasionally surreal, touching on topics like artificial intelligence, memory techniques, dreams, and the way curiosity evolves as we grow older. This episode is about friendship, time, and the strange comfort of reconnecting with someone who knew you before you knew yourself.

    From Catholic School to a Taylor Swift Tribute Band

    In this episode of 20 Year Timeout, I reconnect with Michael Harnois, a Worcester native, full time musician, and longtime friend from our Catholic school days. After decades apart, we sit down to catch up on life, creativity, music, and parenthood. The conversation moves from childhood memories and recess games to forming a Taylor Swift tribute band, playing album tribute shows, and navigating creativity while raising kids in a digital world. We talk about growing up on AOL, chat rooms, and Nintendo, how community and humor still matter, and why making music looks different but still feels essential. Along the way, we revisit old snack food rap songs, including the legendary 3D Doritos, and reflect on how our creative paths have evolved over time. This episode is funny, nostalgic, and thoughtful, with honest reflections on friendship, music, and staying creative as life changes.

    Reconnecting with Father Jonathan

    In this episode of 20 Year Timeout, I reconnect with Father Jonathan Slavinskas, also known as “The Priest,” for the first time in over twenty years. We sit down on the porch of St. Bernard’s Church in Worcester, Massachusetts, for an honest, unfiltered conversation about where life has taken us since we last spoke. What starts as a nostalgic reunion quickly turns into a thoughtful discussion about faith, purpose, health, service, and personal growth. We reflect on growing up Catholic in Worcester, the path to the priesthood in a modern world, community leadership, addiction recovery, mental health, and what it means to help others while continuing to work on yourself. The conversation is funny, grounded, deeply personal, and full of unexpected moments. This episode is about what happens when you unpause the past and allow space for reflection, growth, and reconnection.
