Join us for an extraordinary end-of-year conversation that marks two remarkable years of "Awake in the Network" - where destiny truly happens. In this intimate episode, your hosts Billy Dexter and Melissa G Wilson welcome our behind-the-scenes genius, producer John St. Augustine (former Oprah Radio producer), into a candid conversation that began at Chicago's exclusive Clayton club on a freezing December evening.

What starts as a casual meetup in a hidden Chicago gem transforms into a profound discussion about life's invisible threads of connection, featuring John's incredible journey from a near-fatal electrocution that left him clinically dead for two minutes to discovering his true purpose. "My life's gone in a 190 - not even a 180," John reveals, sharing how brushes with death transformed his perspective on life's urgency and meaning.

Billy Dexter, known for his "Billy-isms" and wisdom about walking in and out of networks, shares why he orchestrated this in-person gathering: "With the invention of technology... there's nothing like sitting across the table from each other." His insight into authentic connection resonates throughout this special episode.

As we reflect on two years of powerful conversations and look toward 2025, this episode embodies everything our show stands for - the magic that happens when we're truly awake in our networks, the power of authentic connection, and the extraordinary stories that emerge when we slow down enough to listen.

From Brené Brown's wisdom on connection to life-altering moments that reshape our paths, this conversation weaves together the essence of what makes our human connections so powerful and mysterious. Whether you're a long-time listener or discovering us for the first time, this episode offers a perfect glimpse into why staying "awake in the network" can transform your life in unexpected ways.

Join us for this special end-of-year episode that proves when we're truly present in our networks, destiny indeed happens.
