Craig Lithgow told me about this movie called "Finding Joe" which is based off of the life and teachings of Joseph Campbell and what he calls the hero's journey. So we watched the movie together when we were in Australia and I loved it. One of my favorite parts of the movie was the first scene. It was about this golden budah. Thought I would share some of the thoughts I had about it.
On this episode we talk with Christian Sandoval. Christian is a retired veteran serving in the United States Army and ended his career as a Master Sergeant.

On this episode of the 10 Ninety Podcast we talk with Logan and Ciara Raban about their son Duke. At 7 months Duke was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer called ATRT. Logan and Ciara walk us through the days leading up to the diagnosis, their time with Duke at Primary Children's hospital, and the moments just before Duke's passing on June 29th, 2021. Logan and Ciara share with us how they have processed the passing of their son differently and how they have maintained love and understanding for each other through their grief. Almost immediately after Duke's passing they found out Ciara was pregnant with Brooks. Brooks is now 18 months old. Logan and Ciara are an example of "clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose." They are wonderful parents and we know that Duke and Brooks are proud to call them Mom and Dad. #DukeStrong
Craig Lost his wife and two kids in a car accident in Australia in 1996. Craig reached out to me after seeing one of our 10/90 clips. Craig and I have become great friends and it means a lot for me to have someone to lean on that understands my pain and grief as well as he does. I feel like Craig is the older, Australian version of me haha. No matter what type of hell you are going through, if you handle it well, you will be able to help someone else who will go through that same hell. Thank you Craig for handling your pain and grief the way you have to help others and me 27 years later. Love you man. So I flew to Australia spent the week with Craig and did some amazing healing. One of the things we did was record this podcast. Hope you enjoy.
