The story of Brandon revolves around the misuse of my email address by a complete stranger and my initial frustration with the situation which I really, really, want to throw gasoline onto!. However, as the story unfolds, I soften up and notice the similarities between me and Brandon. Sure it'd be easy to turn this into a funny viral moment but what if I did something else?

Takeaways:

* Everyone makes mistakes and deserves grace and understanding.
* Reflecting on our own imperfections can help us empathize with others.
* Extending kindness and guidance can have a positive impact on someone's life.
* The story of Brandon serves as a metaphor for the importance of treating strangers with kindness and understanding.

@yourenotmyfather  's first VIDEO Podcast! I've been cranking out audio only podcasts for awhile now so we've made the jump. In this episode I give a preview of what my trip to Puerto Rico was like but some of my favorite content is seeing how other people do everyday things - so in this episode I show you how I travel (some of it at least). I also talk about how much of challenge it is moving to video, opening up to others, and a bit of why I'm doing this. I hope you enjoy and learn something!
