Bannon: "'Return To Zero' is about removing resistance in one's life in order to be best version of 'you' that one can be. I feel that this is a relatable topic for many. What resistance is and how it manifests is unique to every single one of us. For me, this is a constant process and essential to being a better husband, father, friend, artist and human. Thank you to everyone who continues to listen."
