A few years ago I met Tim Miller through the lovely April Sims and we sat back and did an interview about my “Random Thoughts” project. After that was done and the “The Relationship Odyssey” project was announced and we began the Crowd Funding campaign he sent an email to my manager asking for the exclusive premiere interview when “The Relationship Odyssey” was released. A week or so ago, I sat down to talk with Tim, AKA “T.Mill” about this new project, the journey to the finish line and lots of other great stuff.
