In this the final episode of the This Way Out podcast, I share one last bit of encouragement as I close the door on this project in order to start a new project called "The Veterans Lounge" podcast.Thanks to those who followed along while the content was active.

In our country today there exists tensions which require amicable and mature conversation. Unfortunately, there exists a serious inability to have the kind of discussions necessary to decrease to aforementioned tensions. In this episode of the "This Way Out" podcast, my friend, David Bennett, do our best to demonstrate the kind of communication necessary to:1)Listen and appreciate differing perspectives on a given topic, and 2)Realize where we differ in opinion does not need to result in emotional yelling matches, or the end of friendships.Note: The "This Way Out" project continues to do its best to focus on people and not politics to motivate its content.

Daniel Crayton believed in what I was trying to do on this platform from "Day 1," and was one of the first people who volunteered to make his story of personal challenges public here on "This Way Out."Recently, I learned that Daniel tragically passed away in an accident and it was very difficult to comprehend how someone so full of life could suddenly be taken from a world who need people like him in it.As I return to podcasting and broadcasting, I take a moment to pay tribute to Daniel Crayton whom I considered to be a very good friend. Someone who I will miss dearly, but also someone whose life I will celebrate with immense appreciation.Rest in Peace, Daniel. We'll see you again soon, brother.#bettertogether #changetheworld #focusonthegood #mentalhealthawareness
