Don't Neglect Family Ties, Trust Me

I always talk about how important it is to keep those close family ties, even when it gets tough or there’s distance. Just the other day, I got a group text about a new addition to the family, and I realized I didn’t even recognize most of the names in the thread. That hit me […]

It's Dumbo's Land Not Ours

The episode discusses a provocative news story about Botswana threatening to send its elephants to Germany if the international community continues to criticize their elephant culling practices.

Advice Not Taken, Stop

We all have those people who ask us for advice or opinions and then don’t even bother to take it into consideration. My advice to you? Stop giving it. Listen to understand what I mean.

Immigration, Get The Facts

This is a rant and I will point fingers. I’m sick of hearing about it especially from people that do NOT know the facts. Anyone can be a parrot and repeat the same hate as another guy but if you want to truly understand the situation and argue your point of view it is your […]

I Believe & That's Enough

It’s clearly spelled out in many different walks of life and I am trying my best to follow it. A sin here, a sin there with a lot of remorse and personal introspection along the way. My opinion, my thought is what is truly important. My judgement into another’s is of little use for me […]

This Already Happened?

Nietzsche’s eternal recurrence? Maybe. Brahma’s thought of life? Could be. Buddha’s karmatic recycle? Eh. De Ja Vu? Possible. I really don’t know and my brain aches thinking about it but I still try to figure out why some things feel like they have all happened before, and will all happen again. “What, if some day […]

TikTok Needs to Go

I swear A LOT in this one. I am not happy concerning this matter but unlike all the brats and adult brats being mad because it may get taken away I am mad because it’s not already gone. TikTok is NOT your friend

I try to go over the differences between factual driven opinions and the everyday regular […]

Admiration is a strong feeling of approval, respect, or affection for someone or something based on their abilities, achievements, or qualities. When you admire someone, […]

The Law? Says, Who?

In this episode, I explore the changing landscape of laws, drawing parallels between ancient biblical laws and contemporary societal norms. I delve into the concept of adapting laws to fit the current era, pointing out the inconsistency in selectively following certain laws that were based on another man’s faith or creed. Basically, if was not […]

Find More Friends

“Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day.” Dalai Lama

Kill Your Envy

Envy like jealousy only makes the way you look at others worse. They are not the same thing but go hand in hand most times. I try to tackle both in this one. Envy: What it is: Wanting what someone else has (possessions, skills, qualities, etc.). Focus: The desired thing or situation. Example: “I’m envious of her new […]

Teenage Love...

Aww, puppy love! Remember that magical feeling of your first crush or romance? I’m waxing nostalgic today about my goofy first brush with “love” and daring to ask – was that the real deal or just beginner’s luck? We’ve all had first flames that felt totally meant to be. But were they actually our destiny […]

Vanity, Vanity, Vanity

Alright, alright, alright – today’s podcast goes back old school to call out our modern day vanity! Remember that bible king Solomon and his whole “vanity of vanities” spiel? I never really bought into it…until realizing just how right he was after seeing the vain creatures we’ve all become lately! This epidemic of self-importance fueled […]

What Time Is It? No Time.

“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” Einstein Tick tock! Is that clock tricking you? Today we’re putting Father Time himself on trial to expose how this so-called “time” thing is nothing but a human invention meant to stress us out. I’ll break down in plain terms how societies […]

IT is NOT in the Church

IT is in you! Really quick explanation of this video is that friend called me asking to help him with something he’s going through and something he’s feeling about wanting to do more for others and about how some people unfortunately told him he couldn’t do that on his own. I wanted him to know […]

Needs vs Wants

Of course like usual I’m rambling on but I try to get into what we think are necessities or what are really desires.

To My #1, My Girl, My Grace...

My best friend passed on October 31st, 2023 in her sleep. She was never much for Halloween because she came to understand she couldn’t have any candy so maybe she planned it? Any how I will miss her but I will always be thankful that I had the opportunity to spend so much time with […]

Does Love Conquer All?

The idealist in me likes to believe that love conquers all. But in this thought-provoking episode, I grapple with the harsher reality that profound love sometimes requires immense sacrifice. I contemplate the agonizing dichotomy between pursuing soulmate love versus serving the greater good, and how choosing one often means abandoning the other. Using philosophical examples […]

To Scotty. My Friend, My Brother.

Not much to say here as I have said it in the audio. It’s in remembrance of my friend Scott Bialowarczuk. “With the exception of wisdom, I’m inclined to believe that the immortal gods have given nothing better to humanity than friendship.” — Cicero I love you brother.

Marcus Aurelius Gives Me Advice

In this episode, I share how reading Marcus Aurelius’ stoic classic Meditations has shaped my perspective on cultivating personal wisdom and self-reliance. I discuss key passages that call us to look within and develop an inner citadel, rather than seeking answers outside ourselves. Aurelius’ writings have taught me not to blithely accept the judgements and […]

Pascal's Wager or Paradox?

In this episode, I dive into what I refer to as “Pascal’s Paradox” – the philosophical proposition made by 17th century mathematician Blaise Pascal that it is in one’s self-interest to believe in God, because the potential rewards of belief outweigh the potential costs. I discuss my own contemplations on this pragmatic argument for theism, […]
