Welcome to TXMRB Conversations, a place where the day's noise settles down and real conversations begin.
I'm Michael, and each week I'll pull up a chair and talk about life, work, music, relationships, personal growth, and whatever else has been weighing on my mind. Some episodes will be stories from my own journey. Others will be reflections on the things we all deal with but don't always talk about.
No scripts. No shouting. No pretending to have all the answers.
Just honest conversations under the porch light.
Night Shift Reflections On Time Ambition And Attention
Send us Fan Mail Time feels different when you’re stuck watching the clock on a quiet night shift.

I talk about working in corrections, where “boring” is the best kind of shift, and how those slow hours can make you painfully aware of everything you keep pushing to later. We dig into ambition and the way succe...

What If Quiet Nights Are Stealing Your Life
Send us Fan Mail Time doesn’t just pass on a night shift, it echoes. I’m working in corrections, and lately the quiet hours have forced me to face a question I can’t dodge anymore: am I spending my best energy on a life that’s actually moving forward, or just watching the clock while my real goals wait on the sidelines? I talk honestly about what it feels like when “a boring shift is a good shift” because it usually means everyone stays safe, yet the stillness can also magnify frustration. W...

What If Success Is Simply Not Quitting
Send us Fan Mail Some nights, “I’m good” is the easiest lie to tell. I’m sitting on the porch and saying the quieter truth: I’ve been tired in a way a full night of sleep can’t fix, and I almost did not hit record because I wasn’t sure I wanted anyone to hear this side of me. If you’ve been carrying more than people realize, you’ll recognize this kind of burnout right away. I walk through what unpredictable shift work does to your body and your life, especially when your schedule flips...

Who's sitting on this porch?
Send us Fan Mail Episode 2: Who's Sitting on This Porch? If we're going to spend time together on this porch, I figured it was only fair to introduce myself.

From being born premature and growing up between two homes, to coming out during my senior year of high school, experiencing homelessness at seventeen, working whatever jobs I could find, building a career in corrections, discovering music, and eventually writing my book, Life Under...

Leaving Porch Light on
Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the very first episode of Back Porch Conversations. In this episode, I share why I decided to start this podcast, what "leaving the porch light on" means to me, and the kind of conversations I hope we'll have together moving forward. Life has a way of keeping us busy, distracted, and always chasing the next thing.
