Name Taken Podcast: Who Else Out There Is Named Michael Marshall?
According to the US Census records there are at least 2900 Americans that share my full name (Michael Marshall). Unsurprisingly there are many more across the greater English-speaking world. So, I decided to set out and interview the other Michael Marshalls to see what they're all like. Why not right? And it's actually been a riot. Michael Marshalls are rad! Among us are authors, pro athletes, activists, journalists, artists, really cool dads, architects, carpenters, inventors, actors and so much more. Each week I speak to a different Michael Marshall about their own experiences as well as their shared experience of our name.

Episode 3
I interview Mike Marshall, whose activist mission of self-actualization and social justice led him to become an early and influential champion for gay marriage and environmentalism in the state of California. Mike is now the director of Oregon Recovers, a Portland-based advocacy program looking to guide policy and shift state narratives of addiction into a more compassionate and thoughtful track. Mike shares his unique story as well as his own musings on and experiences with our shared name.
