We are BACK!

Life comes first and we had some time away each moving through our own stuff in life.
On this episode Robert and I reflect on some things from our athlete camp and then reflect on the human connections made over that weekend, but more importantly dive in to how we connect with others in general.

This is Part 1 of 2 on "Creating Connection", Enjoy!!


Hosted by Michael Vespa, The Deep End is a personal audio space dedicated to the ongoing project of becoming a better person. This isn't about grand theories or abstract advice; it's a grounded, weekly and monthly conversation that wades into the real stuff of everyday life. You'll hear honest reflections on setting meaningful goals, navigating personal health, and the complexities of relationships. The discussions are intentionally uncomplicated and open, mirroring the process of figuring things out as they happen. Michael frames his journey through the specific roles he occupies-as a man, a husband, a father, and a friend-offering a relatable lens for anyone engaged in their own growth. Tuning into this podcast feels less like attending a lecture and more like overhearing a thoughtful, ongoing dialogue with oneself. It’s for those who appreciate candid talk about the continuous effort to improve, understanding that the most profound lessons often come from simply diving into the deep end of our own experiences.
