Best of 2025 (Part Two): The Year’s Most Enduring Insights

I have always used people the way other people use substances. What that has made me into is somebody who can be extremely manipulative. A lot of people are in relationships and they don't even know what the other person needs. I think if you want to undertake the act of creation, there will always be a price that you you pay. Hey everybody, welcome back to part two of the annual RRP Best of Festivities.

I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. I must say it really has been fun revisiting these conversations and putting together this special audio yearbook for all of you guys. And part two does not disappoint. But before we get into it, I want to take a quick moment and share a little gratitude. for my amazing team who made this show possible, who actually worked double time over the course of this past year to make up for me being out of pocket for extended periods of time due to my back surgery and my book writing.

Thank you also to all my guests who delivered us with just so much hard-earned wisdom and experience. But most importantly, I want to thank you, everyone who watched, who listened, who shared a conversation with a loved one or a friend. and put this wisdom to use in your own lives. If you've been with us for a while, then you know that your support really is the lifeblood of what we do here. And your attention is never something that we take for granted.
