"Modern Talk" solo episodes follows my story of chasing the new crazy American dream. I try to better myself while also searching for a balance of work & play in my hero's journey through the lens of an absurdist.

Guest episodes get curious and I turn my philosophical questions around to them. I want to know how and why they got where they are now and also their thoughts & theories on life. We get as serious as "what happens when we die?" and as silly as "would you rather be trash or a trash can?"
