SUFFER WELL PODCAST: Recent Episodes
Paul Rankin
My life has been a crucible of anguish, violence, abuse, and pain. I've spent the last decade mastering the evil I've endured in my youth. This is a one-take podcast that will be recorded at the moment every day with no prep work. I offer no advice or opinions. I speak only from my own personal experience developed by refusing to allow what has been done to me to define my destiny. My aim is to help others SUFFER WELL for a short time instead of SUFFERING POORLY for a lifetime. If you choose to SUFFER WELL you must fully commit allegiance to emotional physical and spiritual mastery over one's personal history. Through meticulous honesty rigorous relationships and onerous actions to enable history to become the past, not the present so one's future will be able to be written not repeated.
