Episode Description from the Publisher

John Oates of Hall & Oates — the biggest-selling rock duo in music history – walked away from all of it. He sold the planes, the cars and the apartments, and rebuilt his life from scratch with nothing but a therapist, a visualization practice, and a log cabin in his mind. This conversation is about what it actually takes to start over. The moment you decide the skin you're in isn't yours anymore, and you have to shed it to survive. **Send this to the person who knows they need to start over but doesn't know how yet.
