I Guess I’m an Adult Now...

My African Dad's Unfiltered Michael Jackson Stories | Spending $300 on Tickets in 1983, Visiting Neverland & More- Ep 25

Text us and share your adulting stories! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2464492/fan_mail/new] In this episode, I get to chit-chat with my African dad, a lifelong Michael Jackson superfan (arguably his BIGGEST fan in his own words), and what it really meant to grow up with the King of Pop. We’re talking about listening to Michael Jackson records in his village, spending $300 in 1983 on a Victory Tour ticket at Madison Square Garden, calling out of work two days early just to ensure nothing interfered, and what it felt like to watch Michael Jackson perform live. He also shares the moment he heard Michael Jackson had died, what it was like to visit Neverland Ranch, and why decades later, the love has never faded. If you grew up with Michael Jackson, or you just want to understand what he actually meant to a generation of people who built their whole identity around his music, this one is for you.

Text us and share your adulting stories! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2464492/fan_mail/new] In this episode, we get real about the in-between stage, that quiet, uncomfortable period between where you are and where you’re trying to go. We’re talking fear of failure, burnout that won’t quit, spiritual signals you might be ignoring, and why feeling stuck might actually be exactly where you’re supposed to be right now. I also share personal stories about choosing content creation over medical school, burning out at the height of my success, and what finally gave me clarity when nothing made sense.
