So I'm starting to see that there's a through line.

I don't think there's a more important year for black people.

Really?

Yeah.

For me, it's one of the most important years for black people in American history.

Welcome to my new podcast, Learn the Hard Way with me, your host, and your favorite therapist, Keir Gaines.

And in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, I'm bringing over a decade of my own experience in the mental health field and conversations with so many incredible guests.

Sometimes when we're in the pursuit of the thing...

We get so wrapped up in the chase that we don't realize that we are in possession of the thing.

And we're still chasing it.

And we don't know when we've done enough.

Because people scoreboard watch.

Life becomes about wins and losses.

Steve Burns, Dustin Ross.

Because that's two different intentions, bro.

Absolutely.

And that's two different levels of trust.
