In Season One, we started a conversation about the paths our lives have taken. But as it turns out, the road behind us is constantly changing depending on how we look at it.

This season, we’re peeling back the curtain. We’re moving past the "bios" we give at dinner parties and getting to what Baron Wright calls "the underneath."

We’re talking about "The Friendship Rescue."

We’re talking about the "Practice of Fatherhood."

And we’re talking about the art that keeps us sane.

Join me as I sit down with some of my oldest friends, my favorite poets, and the men who inspire me to keep looking in the rearview—not to dwell, but to learn.

Season Two of Objects In This Rearview. Let’s see what’s on the road ahead.
