Moving Reality Forward w/ Trent Knox | #103

What more could you ask for? We have two Trent Knox episodes in a row. This man and I always sit down with a game plan and before you know it, that game plan quickly gets tossed out the window. In our previous episode we discussed personal relationships. How we each get our social juices flowing in order to go out into the world and build community, romance, and connection. In th

Happy Sad w/ Knives Monroe | #101

With season 2022 of Earth officially over, Knives Monroe returns for our year in review episode. A lot of things happened this past year so there was a lot to talk about. We start off discussing physical and mental health, both of which played different roles in each our lives this year. Knives was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder and I received a Gastritis diagnosis. Experiencing

We Made it to Episode 100 | #100

Welcome to episode 100 and to 2023. We made it to both landmark moments for better or worse. As the podcast continues to grow and evolve I share some thoughts and themes for myself and this never-ending project in this coming year. Those themes include: change, time, investment, and support. Each having their own impact and implications on the year to come. How do these themes re

Matt's Got Problems | #99

Matt Musselwhite is a long time friend of mine. He is the creator of the Scene Radio and iHatetheScene podcasts which existed on MySpace from 2008-2013. For well over a decade, Matt has been a somewhat prominent voice within the metal and hardcore music scenes. The exposure along with his professional career in radio allowed him to take on many different roles within the music indu

Mental Fortitude | #98

Mental health in general encompasses a wide variety of things. Regardless of who we are or what our genetic make up is; we all experience our own mental health journeys. With that being said, is it possible that we are preventing ourselves from capitalizing on our bodies ability to thrive at maximum capacity? In this episode I talk about how small behavioral changes lead to some p

The Road to Health is Paved with Good Intentions | #97

Health and wellness have been very prevalent topics over the course of the last 3 years. With all this attention on health, you would think that it’d be easy for people to get their own health into check. Unfortunately, there’s no magic health method that is the end all be all in terms of improvement. No remedy or cure can restore our health to full capacity or to perfect condi

Adult-ing Content | #96

In this episode I am joined by my lovely wife Rebecca Kern. Rebecca recently got admitted to to the University of Texas and will soon embark on her journey towards a Bachelor’s degree in linguistics. We discuss our past year together including our wedding and subsequent life events that seem to keep us moving in an unknown direction. We dive in what our mindsets were going into

The Importance of Experience for Perspective | #95

This episode was a concoction of survival and self expression and eventually self deprecation. I know that doesn’t make much sense now, but it will. I recently graduated at the ripe old age of 34. That combined with recently receiving my purple belt in Jiu Jitsu and starting a new career has me feeling a bit out of place. I also just got over having COVID, so I had nothing but ti

A Beautiful Mess | #94

I share a few stories from this past week that really put me in an interesting whirlwind of emotions. I have been recovering all week from the normal, mundane, everyday grind, mixed with the rush of public intoxication, or perhaps, the need to feel alive. Especially after encountering a near death experience in the form of a wasp. The title of this episode is inspired by the word
