Divorce is not usually a topic that people are excited to talk about. With divorce rates as high as they are, it is irresponsible not to address it. Today I am joined by Divorce Attorney Joe Cordell.
Learn candid advice from Joe’s 30-plus years of experience representing men. We discuss prenuptial agreements, marriage, and going through a divorce. Whatever end of the spectrum you may be on, there is something to be learned.
Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:
- Prenuptial agreements make solid sense when there is a financial responsibility to others.
- If you are going through a divorce, thinking about divorce, or are newly divorced, have someone you can confide in. If you are religious, turn to someone there.
- Marriage is nothing to be taken lightly or for granted. It will always take work to have a successful marriage.

Do you struggle to focus? Have people told you to pay attention or to do things a certain way? Maybe you realized that doesn't work for you. Our guest, Ryan Mentock, has gone through the same thing. In part two of our conversation, listen in to discover how Ryan makes ADD and OCD work for him.
Ryan has lived in North Carolina since he was three years old and established Play NC, Inc in Durham, which we covered in part one! Rather than only focusing on charities' good work, Ryan organizes recreational sports and games to raise money and awareness for local non-profits.

When trying to start something successful, you'll tips like "Fake it until you make it", "Win everyday", & "Hustle".
