Things and people are not what they seem. You have to be willing to go deep while accepting the simplicity of reality and what it is.  This comes in messages through spoken word, music, and the mere presence and appearance of another human being.  Some are born from strife, sadness, and inspiration, but many are the way they are because it's the essence of their being.  This is the 300th episode of the Hardcore Closer Podcast and this means you're in for a treat.
