"I used to feel like I was constantly fucking up, constantly doing the wrong thing...and that's where I was living for a number of years; always feeling bad about myself."

Michael Schneeweis shares what it was like to release music as Pat The Bunny's younger brother. He then goes on to engage in a deep conversation largely focused on areas of spiritual exploration & practice. Pepe shares a very personal story that spans from his childhood to his recent incarceration. Expect to learn about the Self & the ego as well. If you are curious about engaging with spirituality or wanting to move further along with a current practice, you will find valuable insight throughout this conversation. We close by exploring Michael's several visits to Cambodia. Overall, this is an impactful episode that is both informative & powerful. We close by playing a song Michael wrote about his brother Pat (the Bunny).
