Why did I want to talk with Eric Bischoff, the author of "Grateful", "Controversy Creates Cash" and Former WCW Senior Vice President, WWE personality, and host of the 83 Weeks Podcast? It is simple, I have been a fan of his work for a long time, and I was curious about the various hardships he's faced in life and how they molded him and lead to opportunities for growth.
Eric is a very driven individual, who is honest and open about mistakes he has made in life and not having any regrets. Eric and I discuss various topics that he doesn't often discuss, such as gratitude, trust, and his perspective on addiction being that he has lost many folks to the disease, we talk about how he has and continues to handle the backlash he's faced in pro wrestling.
We conclude with random questions that include talk about Hulk Hogan and his 83 Weeks podcast partner Conrad Thompson, and Eric leaves with positive final thoughts.
