#59 – Where Are They Now? - "$12" Dylan. Anatomy of an Affair.
Special Episode
Returning to studio 1812 after a long absence is Dylan “$12” Barnum. Educator, husband and father of two. And finally, and perhaps most importantly, a man of faith – a Christian.
Dylan and I go back a few moons. That is, years. Back to his early collegiate, student-athlete running days at a D-II school in MO where he was a MIAA conference champion in the 110-meter hurdles.
To learn more about Dylan check out Podcast Episode #27 entitled – White Shorts Controversy.
In our episode today, Dylan and I reflect on a very serious and personal topic – the anatomy of an affair (marital infidelity).
So, let’s get into the head and heart space of our guest, Mr. Barnum.
