Kenny Mammarella-D'Cruz
&
Nicholas Clements

I had been pondering and thinking about the initiated man for weeks and had run said something to Kenny about it. Then we thought why not do a video and Kenny highly suggested bringing in a good friend of his Nicholas. It ended up being a great discussion about the initiated man and I walked away with so much to think about.

I hope you tune in and listen to the whole thing!
