I have been subscribed for some time now and I have to say, you probably will never know how much joy you’ve brought to your subscribers. Your Amazon renewed series was fresh and fun! Unfortunately for whatever reason, the “algorithm gods” haven’t blessed you as I feel you deserve. Whatever you choose to make next, I’ll be watching. A nodule was found on my kidney…potentially cancerous and I have to wait until next month to see if it grows before my dr wants to take the next step. The anticipation and fear is scary but I’m remaining positive. Good luck on your journey and I will pray for you!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad to hear that my videos bring you joy, that is very easy to forget. I’m sending you all the positive vibes as you navigate this tough time. Remember, you're not alone in this!
I feel that pain brother. Getting older is rough. Doing it all alone is rough. But you got this bro. This is a new chapter in the story of Travis. Try and take things a day at a time brother. 🙏🏼
I appreciate your support! You're right, taking things one day at a time is the best way to navigate through life's challenges. I know you have had it rough too. Here for you if you need it.
Travis, I enjoy these videos and been listening to them when on my walks, though one of them I didn’t get to finish and looks like I won’t be able to. As we get older, we often reflect and have a change in value for life. I tend to look at the positives and what the future could hold. It took me a while to realize that my outlook on life was very much changed when I had open heart surgery in 94. 30 years later, I have enjoyed life, travelled a bunch and remember that my surgery, as scary as it was, bought me more time on this rock hurling through space. From one internet stranger to another, I wish you the best and will continue to enjoy listening to you while on walks and hikes for as long as you keep wanting to put out your work.
We are all on a journey. My wife always tells me that our role in this life is to support others on their journeys. "Peace and Love, Peace and Love" brother.
Remain strong, my brother i will pray for everything to go well with you. I am also going through something a bit similar as with being pre-diabetic and not taking the necessary actions until recently
Thank you for sharing what you are going through. This video will help a lot of people who are going through what you are going through. Just know that the bad times don’t last long. You will get through this. We are proud of you and we love you .
Hey Travis! Accentuate the positive and downplay the negative my friend. I am here following and pulling for you. Please keep us all who cherish you updated on your journey of health.
Travis - I completely feel you and can relate. I just turned 50. And ny health could be better. However i lost over 120 lb and kept it off for about 7 years now. My doctor told me I was diabetic 7 years ago, type 2, and completely reversed it through the keto diet and exercise. I exercise daily. Minimum 30 minutes on the treadmill or elliptical. I was lucky my wife cooks healthy for me. I also use intermittent fasting. I promise if I can do it, you can. There's no magic. It just took discipline. And I lacked it until I was told I had diabetes and I did not want to die or have complications. I feel like I can hear the sadness in your voice also. I will definitely pray for you. I've enjoyed listening and watching your content. But I can tell you're different than how you used to be. The epidemic of men and loneliness as we get older is real. I'm glad to reach out and be your friend even if it's just via text, skype, etc. Please let me know how I can help. I can always use another friend. I'd be glad to listen and tell you what works for me. 🙏🏽❤
Thank you for sharing your journey! It's inspiring to see how you've transformed your health and turned things around. Your support means a lot, and I'm here if you ever want to chat about it!
Travis, sorry to hear you are going through so much. Praying that things will turn around soon. As you said, you've done what you need to do before - you can do so again. You're cared for. You got this, Travis.
Just wanted to say I appreciate you and your openness. Peace and love on your journey. Turned 40 three weeks ago and have struggled with the whole “getting old” thing. Sending all the good vibes your way.
Same here. 45 years old. Car is 4 years old. 10k miles. Always at home. Work at home. Diabetic but my doctor has me back on course now. Meds really did it for me and watching what you eat. Down 50 lbs and feeling better. You can do this.
It's inspiring to hear about your journey! Staying on track with your health can be challenging, but it sounds like you're making great progress. Keep up the good work!
You seem to be head strong with regards to what you need to do, can do and cant which will benefit you massively. Ive always enjoyed listening to you travis and and wish you good health.
Travis I listen to all your videos I always take something positive away and really enjoy. Most of all I enjoyed just you in front of the camera great job bro.
Thank you for your support! I really appreciate your kind words, and it means a lot to know that people care. Sending warm thoughts back to you in Ireland!
I listened to the whole thing and I wish you nothing but the best this week. It can be scary. I’m 47 and can relate to a lot of what you said regarding health and age. Getting older just sucks. I hope it all works out.
Thanks for sharing Travis. I am in the diabetic camp and know what I need to do to reverse, just can’t get motivated to. It sounds like you are motivated and encourage you to lean into that. It is possible to reverse. I pulled back from pre-diabetic a few years ago. But slipped back into old habits. Please do keep sharing your experience, it does help others and I hope you are finding it helpful too.
Travis I feel every bit of your pain and I know you are scared. I’m going through the same. This June had test found two tumors both benign. Liver is currently in fibrosis. Had MRI, CAT scan and Ultrasound. Through everything out of the refrigerator also because like you i figured I did some of the liver damage to myself with poor eating. Of course I’ve asked multiple times do I have cancer and the doctors tell me no. But I’m still worry. I just wanted to cry because it was so overwhelming. So I truly empathize with you Know you are not alone. Try to take one day at a time. You got this. Always in my prayers ❤🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing your story. It really helps to know that we’re not alone in this journey. Remember to take it one day at a time, and I’m here for you!
Like my grandmother (who loved to be a week shy of 101 years old) used to say… “Getting old ain’t for wimps!” We’re right there with you, brother. Best wishes!
You got this Travis. I also have diabetes and working on cutting down on sugar intake. Not on meds yet. I definitely don’t want injections, so I rather work on what I should eat rather than focus on what I can’t eat.
Just went to Spotify and followed your new podcast, now ramble away! I am nervous about an upcoming check up due to what could be bad news as well, so we are on the team that we don't want to be on. So we just keep trekking, Travis.
Thank you for following the podcast! It sounds like you're going through a tough time with that check-up. Remember, it's okay to feel nervous, but staying positive can make a difference. We're all in this together!
dude - getting old sucks and then pending what we eat doesn't help....the struggle is real - I'm right there with you!!! FYI - this is Matt and I've been following you since COVID - wanting to do tech on youtube,,,but I got involved in Adventure Motorcycling and because of you and a couple others I got into this - HA! - So know what you do, does impact others in some way - share those stories - I do it all the time - ha!!!....Always enjoyed your content so get back into and share what you like and do what you want. Hope your health gets better and love the content on both channels - know people are wishing you the best!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Matt! It means a lot to know that my content has inspired you to pursue your own passions. Wishing you all the best on your Adventure Motorcycling journey!
The way you feel is reflective of how thousands feel... you're definitely not alone. As someone who personally suffers from anxiety, which is a first cousin of depression, I would highly recommend telling your doctor how you feel. If you tend to suffer from depression in general, all these medical issues on top of it could be just too much. Take care of yourself and get whatever help you need! We all enjoy your content and personality and wanna see more! Cheers!
I can appreciate this type of honest video. You brought up the idea that bad things happen to good people. I personally dont believe anyone is "good". Infact, were all, well, not good. I know that statement can raise eye browse. But that is my belief. Ive been following you for quite some time. And ever since last year, I think youre going through a season of personal growth. I hope you can get carried through your health successfully. Im a jump roper and have taught others how to jump rope. I have seen their health get better. Not only physically, but also mentally, socially and spiritually. Yhis is not just attributed to jump roping. It can be anything to get your body moving. However, about 80% of it is diet. Travis, I can go on and on about this. But it would be better to talk in person or maybe you can have me at a podcast. Just a thought. Either way, blessing to you brother.
I appreciate your thoughts on this! It’s true that personal growth is a journey, and I’m grateful for your support. Jump roping sounds like a fantastic way to stay active and healthy-thanks for sharing your insights!
Good luck with the surgery! It has been about 9 years since I was mis-diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic. About 5 years later I was correctly diagnosed with late onset type 1 diabetes. With type 2 you will likely be given some metformin pills to take daily. I have 4 regular doses of insulin as a type 1 but can still enjoy all of the foods I love (sandwiches, burgers, fries) you just have to learn to deal with proper timing for meals and good moderation. 🙏
Thank you for sharing your journey! It's inspiring to see how you've navigated your diagnosis and found a way to enjoy your favorite foods while managing your health.
Travis, I wish you the best of luck with your medical journey and life journey in general. What you had to say was very educational, and I can totally relate. I was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes only three months ago. I have been losing weight and trying my best to manage it. Unfortunately, it tends to run in my family, So I knew I would get it one day. Luckily, I don't have a severe case and can manage it with diet, exercise, and one pill a day. Hopefully, soon, I won't even need the pill any longer. Luckily, I never got really heavy or anything like that. But I hope to hit my target weight within the next 7 to 10 months. Hopefully, that will mean I'm healthy enough not to need any medication. Cutting out carbohydrates is the biggest thing with type 2. Cutting carbs also leads to fast weight loss. I've already lost 30 lbs myself.
We care brother! I’ve listened to the whole thing, in this day and age it’s hard to eat healthy, specially in the US, it takes more money and more attention, but it’s not impossible, also walking and exercising with all the lazy entertainment things we have is hard, but once you invest in a good running shoes you will be more motivated to go for a run, I’m talking about myself here cause it worked for me. Note: If things get really serious, please take a second and a third doctor’s opinion, you’ll be surprised how a lot of them don’t know what they are talking about.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! You're absolutely right, prioritizing health in today’s world can be challenging, but it's definitely achievable with the right mindset and tools.
Great content. I hope what ever your really going through, you'll be okay. I've been living with pain for over 17 yrs. I have C.R.P.S it's a neurological disease, that's incurable. I have my best friend, my wife to help me colp with it, and my grown kids. Wish you had someone to go though this with you. Please keep us informed.
It's interesting I caught this particular episode this morning. I'm one of the ones whose life flipped completely in 2021 (not from pandemic). Yes, had a chronic illness that eventually forced me to resign from my career in 2021. Didn't even know that was going to be the relatively easy part😂 My health actually became worse within a month of resigning, and I lost everything. I was approved for SSDI last year this time. I was able to regain some independence, afford a simple place for myself, and also have health insurance (Medicare). I'm still shocked at how my life has completely changed in 3 years. Your episode today caught me because, one of my major symptoms has come back heavy the last 2 days, a symptom I originally felt in 2021 but became somewhat dormant. Welp! Hear comes the anxiety and fear of something horrible about to arrive. Then wisdom arrived immediately and said "you've been here before, it didn't destroy you.". So I say to you, you've been through serious stuff before, we're roughly same generation, so go through all the feels, anxiety, and weirdness you've been through stuff before and survived. Best wishes
Thank you for sharing your journey. It’s inspiring to hear how you’ve navigated such difficult times and found strength through it all. Remember, each challenge is an opportunity for growth!
@@TravisMCP I commented midway through the whole video. And I think you're right as someone who's recently divorced and a single father, without my son it is kind of "meh"... He keeps it from being "meh" - but one thing that also helps is appreciating the simple things especially in nature. I have nothing in common, probably, with Malama Life (TH-camr) but check out her videos man. She really is good about getting folks to see how to appreciate the simple basic things in life. By the way, been watching since Front Page Tech mentioned you the first time.
Travis, take a chill pill and relax... Uncle Ruben has a story to tell.. I had cancer in 2014 (Luekemia) and I broke my back in 2018(Vehicle accident). My advice...STAY POSITIVE! In 2014, In my hospital room, I had an iPAD/Laptop and a loud Bluetooth speaker. Doctor said that I acted like I wasn't sick and listened to music way too loud😁. In 2018, Post surgury, my wound got infected and I had to have 4 extra surguries. (NICE). In 2018, durring my month stay in the hospital, I woke up in ICU...Hilarity Ensued..I can elaborate if you wish...but YT does not allow enough chatacters. That being said.. don't be privet about this.. blog it.. the more people know, the more prayers and positiveness.... I was on the FB the whole time...when I was awake. Love ya man... And I don't even know you.. just a big fan.... Peace & Love Bro...
Thanks for being honest! I know it's pretty scary. Wishing you all the best and strength. Side note* As a person who also stays home I have just started getting out of my comfort zone and doing walks (pretty sure you do that to) but like I like listening to music, but sometimes it's hard to concentrate on my work, so when I want to listen to music I partner it with going for a walk, to try to stay healthy (started of 15 min) then 30 -> now do 45. I'm not saying thay your unhealthy I'm just giving saying what I do since I also don't go out much and stay home all day. Again Wishing you the best, and strength ✌️
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's always uplifting to hear how others are tackling similar challenges and finding solutions that work for them.
Bro, i am missing a lot those energy words "RIGHT AFTER THIS 👊" .. Please bring back those old memories.. Wonder why you stopped it. That was so refreshing to hear at the start of your videos.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I'm glad those words resonated with you. Nostalgia can be powerful, and I love that they made a difference for you!
I work from home and I feel you on the staying at home thing, but you need some person interaction my friend. I play pickleball and go to software developer meetups, but I can guarantee it will make you feel better and more connected. I hope you feel better brother.
I strongly recommend that you should not touch your gallbladder, Castor oil wrap will clear the stone in just 3 days, then fill your body with the right minerals and vitamins to heal.
Hang in there Travis. I’ve always loved your stuff and plan on listening for a long time. Do what you can to improve your medical status and remember, “getting old isn’t for sissy’s.”
My cardiologist recently recommended I double my dose of metformin, now that my A1c is back to 6.1 instead of 6.3, which was definitely a pre-diabetic state. He wants be to be even more aggressive to keep me from becoming diabetic. So that’s what I’m doing. I have an Inspire Sleep device implanted in my chest and neck to fight my severe obstructive sleep apnea in July. It’s activated by a device about the size of a computer mouse which keeps my tongue from blocking my airway while I sleep and keeps me breathing. I wickedly call the devices my Tongue Toys. 😜 The positive side effects of my Tongue Toys is that they hopefully help with my heart’s premature atrial contractions clocked at 15% of my heartbeats during one week of wearing a device on my chest, monitoring my heartbeats. (So I went from being a Borg to being a Bionic Man this year. WOO-HOO!) I’ve had other health issues that - like you, Travis - I won’t mention. I mention these to say, “I feel ya, Bruh.” You are definitely not alone, although I felt I was a few times these past three years. You’re a reminder to me - as I hope I am to you - that there’s what I call a Siblinghood of folks going through similar health issues. And we got each others’ backs. We got this.
I often wonder if I had a YT channel could I use it to unload the things I’m going through. Not trying to make money but, just empty my mind. I have a therapist and Psychiatrist but I can’t just call them any time Of day, but there isn’t some I can talk to.
Starting a TH-cam channel could be a great way to express yourself and share your thoughts. It might help you find a supportive community while you’re working through things!
Oddly enough, these are the thinks i listen to on my drive in. It's usually a 15 min drive so the 20 min conversation isn't as bad as you think. Sorry to hear of any health issues but thats what happens when we get older. just gotta keep moving forward and not let some of this stuff hold us back from doing and being better.
The older I get, the more I find myself experiencing the very issues you're facing. My gift to you is to not share "helpful" tips. Just simply listen & be present as a fellow traveler on the Path! ✌🏽🙏🏽💖

We are all on a journey. My wife always tells me that our role in this life is to support others on their journeys. "Peace and Love, Peace and Love" brother.
Absolutely! Supporting each other on our journeys is so important. It creates a beautiful community where we can all thrive together.
Well said! ✌🏽
Travis just has the kind of voice you can listen to, and his sincerity comes through so you always feel connected to whatever he's saying.
Remain strong, my brother i will pray for everything to go well with you. I am also going through something a bit similar as with being pre-diabetic and not taking the necessary actions until recently

Thank you for your kind words! It's always uplifting to have such support, and I appreciate you reaching out.
Thanks for being open about this topic. This creates awareness for a lot of us. It’s going to be ok.
I really appreciate your support! It's important to have these conversations, and I'm glad it's resonating with you.
Just wanted to say I appreciate you and your openness. Peace and love on your journey. Turned 40 three weeks ago and have struggled with the whole “getting old” thing. Sending all the good vibes your way.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Turning 40 can be a big transition, but remember, age is just a number. Embrace it with open arms!
Same here. 45 years old. Car is 4 years old. 10k miles. Always at home. Work at home. Diabetic but my doctor has me back on course now. Meds really did it for me and watching what you eat. Down 50 lbs and feeling better. You can do this.
It's inspiring to hear about your journey! Staying on track with your health can be challenging, but it sounds like you're making great progress. Keep up the good work!
I enjoyed this video because it felt like I was helping a friend process their feelings. People don't need advice, they just need to be heard.
That last sentence is powerful. And so true. Thank you.
You seem to be head strong with regards to what you need to do, can do and cant which will benefit you massively. Ive always enjoyed listening to you travis and and wish you good health.
@ryanduffy5887 I have no doubt I will beat Diabetes, it has no chance. The other stuff is out of my hands.
Travis, I really respect you for making this video. I hope things get better for you and please know that many people care about you.
Travis I listen to all your videos I always take something positive away and really enjoy. Most of all I enjoyed just you in front of the camera great job bro.
I always thought you had a wife and kids, you’re such a ball of energy. Stay strong brother. You can win.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Your encouragement means a lot to me, and I’m grateful to have such supportive viewers.
I hope things go well for you, Travis.
The medical advancement in Diabetes is much better then it used to be. You got this Travis. Sending love and light to you.
Thanks for the update Travis... Hope you figure some things out before it IS too late. Stay up my friend
Hey Travis, I hope this doesn't lead to a bad down period for you. People do watch and care for you.

Unfortunately, it tends to run in my family, So I knew I would get it one day. Luckily, I don't have a severe case and can manage it with diet, exercise, and one pill a day. Hopefully, soon, I won't even need the pill any longer. Luckily, I never got really heavy or anything like that. But I hope to hit my target weight within the next 7 to 10 months. Hopefully, that will mean I'm healthy enough not to need any medication.
Cutting out carbohydrates is the biggest thing with type 2. Cutting carbs also leads to fast weight loss. I've already lost 30 lbs myself.
We care brother! I’ve listened to the whole thing, in this day and age it’s hard to eat healthy, specially in the US, it takes more money and more attention, but it’s not impossible, also walking and exercising with all the lazy entertainment things we have is hard, but once you invest in a good running shoes you will be more motivated to go for a run, I’m talking about myself here cause it worked for me.
Note: If things get really serious, please take a second and a third doctor’s opinion, you’ll be surprised how a lot of them don’t know what they are talking about.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! You're absolutely right, prioritizing health in today’s world can be challenging, but it's definitely achievable with the right mindset and tools.
Great content. I hope what ever your really going through, you'll be okay. I've been living with pain for over 17 yrs. I have C.R.P.S it's a neurological disease, that's incurable. I have my best friend, my wife to help me colp with it, and my grown kids. Wish you had someone to go though this with you. Please keep us informed.
It's interesting I caught this particular episode this morning. I'm one of the ones whose life flipped completely in 2021 (not from pandemic). Yes, had a chronic illness that eventually forced me to resign from my career in 2021. Didn't even know that was going to be the relatively easy part😂
My health actually became worse within a month of resigning, and I lost everything.
I was approved for SSDI last year this time. I was able to regain some independence, afford a simple place for myself, and also have health insurance (Medicare).
I'm still shocked at how my life has completely changed in 3 years.
Your episode today caught me because, one of my major symptoms has come back heavy the last 2 days, a symptom I originally felt in 2021 but became somewhat dormant. Welp! Hear comes the anxiety and fear of something horrible about to arrive. Then wisdom arrived immediately and said "you've been here before, it didn't destroy you.". So I say to you, you've been through serious stuff before, we're roughly same generation, so go through all the feels, anxiety, and weirdness you've been through stuff before and survived. Best wishes
Thank you for sharing your journey. It’s inspiring to hear how you’ve navigated such difficult times and found strength through it all. Remember, each challenge is an opportunity for growth!
I just threw out all my Halloween candy. I'm not even giving it out. I'm really happy you posted this great job! We appreciate you sharing. 🙏
Thank you so much for your support! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Your positivity means a lot!
@@TravisMCP I commented midway through the whole video. And I think you're right as someone who's recently divorced and a single father, without my son it is kind of "meh"... He keeps it from being "meh" - but one thing that also helps is appreciating the simple things especially in nature. I have nothing in common, probably, with Malama Life (TH-camr) but check out her videos man. She really is good about getting folks to see how to appreciate the simple basic things in life. By the way, been watching since Front Page Tech mentioned you the first time.
Travis, take a chill pill and relax... Uncle Ruben has a story to tell.. I had cancer in 2014 (Luekemia) and I broke my back in 2018(Vehicle accident). My advice...STAY POSITIVE! In 2014, In my hospital room, I had an iPAD/Laptop and a loud Bluetooth speaker. Doctor said that I acted like I wasn't sick and listened to music way too loud😁. In 2018, Post surgury, my wound got infected and I had to have 4 extra surguries. (NICE). In 2018, durring my month stay in the hospital, I woke up in ICU...Hilarity Ensued..I can elaborate if you wish...but YT does not allow enough chatacters. That being said.. don't be privet about this.. blog it.. the more people know, the more prayers and positiveness.... I was on the FB the whole time...when I was awake. Love ya man... And I don't even know you.. just a big fan.... Peace & Love Bro...
Take one step at a time, stay positive and it will get better.
Working on it!
Thanks for being honest! I know it's pretty scary. Wishing you all the best and strength.
Side note* As a person who also stays home I have just started getting out of my comfort zone and doing walks (pretty sure you do that to) but like I like listening to music, but sometimes it's hard to concentrate on my work, so when I want to listen to music I partner it with going for a walk, to try to stay healthy (started of 15 min) then 30 -> now do 45.
I'm not saying thay your unhealthy I'm just giving saying what I do since I also don't go out much and stay home all day.
Again Wishing you the best, and strength ✌️
Oh let's be honest, I AM unhealthy. But yeah, that's a great piece of advice.
This is the downside of suburban life. I have similar issues and started biking a lot more as a mode of transportation. It helps with weight control.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's always uplifting to hear how others are tackling similar challenges and finding solutions that work for them.
Peace and Love my friend. ☮️&❤️
☮️&❤️
Bro, i am missing a lot those energy words "RIGHT AFTER THIS 👊" .. Please bring back those old memories.. Wonder why you stopped it.
That was so refreshing to hear at the start of your videos.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I'm glad those words resonated with you. Nostalgia can be powerful, and I love that they made a difference for you!
@@TravisMCP ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🙏🏻
We all feel a community with u
You bought the iPhone 16?
I work from home and I feel you on the staying at home thing, but you need some person interaction my friend. I play pickleball and go to software developer meetups, but I can guarantee it will make you feel better and more connected. I hope you feel better brother.
Yeah I need to get outside of my comfort zone for sure.
I strongly recommend that you should not touch your gallbladder, Castor oil wrap will clear the stone in just 3 days, then fill your body with the right minerals and vitamins to heal.
My gallbladder is already gone.
Hang in there Travis. I’ve always loved your stuff and plan on listening for a long time. Do what you can to improve your medical status and remember, “getting old isn’t for sissy’s.”
Thank you so much for your support! It means a lot to me, and I’ll definitely keep pushing through and doing my best.
My cardiologist recently recommended I double my dose of metformin, now that my A1c is back to 6.1 instead of 6.3, which was definitely a pre-diabetic state. He wants be to be even more aggressive to keep me from becoming diabetic. So that’s what I’m doing.
I have an Inspire Sleep device implanted in my chest and neck to fight my severe obstructive sleep apnea in July. It’s activated by a device about the size of a computer mouse which keeps my tongue from blocking my airway while I sleep and keeps me breathing. I wickedly call the devices my Tongue Toys. 😜 The positive side effects of my Tongue Toys is that they hopefully help with my heart’s premature atrial contractions clocked at 15% of my heartbeats during one week of wearing a device on my chest, monitoring my heartbeats. (So I went from being a Borg to being a Bionic Man this year. WOO-HOO!) I’ve had other health issues that - like you, Travis - I won’t mention.
I mention these to say, “I feel ya, Bruh.” You are definitely not alone, although I felt I was a few times these past three years. You’re a reminder to me - as I hope I am to you - that there’s what I call a Siblinghood of folks going through similar health issues. And we got each others’ backs.
We got this.
This was more helpful than you probably realize. I'm blessed that you took the time to share this and I thank you.
@@TravisMCP My pleasure, Bro.
I often wonder if I had a YT channel could I use it to unload the things I’m going through. Not trying to make money but, just empty my mind. I have a therapist and
Psychiatrist but I can’t just call them any time
Of day, but there isn’t some I can talk to.
Starting a TH-cam channel could be a great way to express yourself and share your thoughts. It might help you find a supportive community while you’re working through things!
Oddly enough, these are the thinks i listen to on my drive in. It's usually a 15 min drive so the 20 min conversation isn't as bad as you think. Sorry to hear of any health issues but thats what happens when we get older. just gotta keep moving forward and not let some of this stuff hold us back from doing and being better.
I appreciate that Cham
I miss seeing videos from you. I learned of you via A1Up. I made it to the end. My thoughts are with you.
Thank you for your support! It means a lot to know you enjoyed my content. The podcast is my focus so hopefully people enjoy it.
We do care.
Take care of yourself Travis
Working on it.
I have some of the same experiences.
sorry to hear. hope to see you on as a guest with those two goof balls on Genius Bar lol
lol, Jon has my number
Travis Do you you ever go out walling or hiking in your area.
I used to. I will again for sure.
@@TravisMCP Mix it in Travis do some live blogging in the country.
I have diabetes too. On metformin 2 pills a day. But I feel pretty good
It's great to hear that you're feeling good! Managing diabetes can be challenging, but it sounds like you're on the right track with your treatment.
Hope you feel better too soon Travis. I always thought you are a great guy.
❤️❤️❤️
I've never seen an online personality as human as I see you now 😢. I wish I could talk to you
You just did. :)
HEY IM IN REDMOND I WOULD TO BE ON YOUR PODCAST
Redmond is awesome, i love that place.
❤
The older I get, the more I find myself experiencing the very issues you're facing.
My gift to you is to not share "helpful" tips. Just simply listen & be present as a fellow traveler on the Path! ✌🏽🙏🏽💖
Well said! So simple yet so powerful
Cool
Keep a positive attitude and go after dealing with it. Also go to God.
Absolutely! A positive mindset can make all the difference when facing challenges. It's all about taking that first step and trusting the process.
Get well brother diet and exercise
Thanks for the encouragement! Diet and exercise are definitely key to getting back on track.
