Season 2 Intro - Life Challenges that Change YOU

After the 1st Season I took a LONG HIATUS (too long!), but sometimes the challenges of life and the adjustments required puts you in a space where some of the things you love to do become the sacrifice. Sometimes we need to rest, reset, recover and RELAUNCH! So this is the beginning of Season 2 because no matter what's going on in life this is something thats a passion for me. On this intro I talk about my life, changes and what's next for Season 2. "It's been a long time I shouldn't have left you..." - Rakim
