In this episode I express gratitude for those creatives who make fantastical stories in games and literary fiction. I am also careful to acknowledge the parents who support, nurture, and cultivate creativity in their offspring as I reflect on my own mother doing the same for me. I discuss my reaction to Hogwarts Legacy so far, how it's reignited my love for the fantastical worlds of role playing games, and what led me away from RPG type games in the first place. I hope you enjoy!

Episode 011: Heresy
In this episode I address the question: Why do I sometimes refer to myself as a heretic? Whenever the topic of religion comes up, which it does somewhat frequently for me, I answer simply that I am a heretic. My full thoughts on religion are quite simple, but can also seem complicated to those accustomed to religious people who conform to the orthodox views of their religion. Alas, I talk about it here and also find some folks at whom I can toss some gratitude.

Episode 009: Fifteen Year Old with a Shotgun
In this holiday episode I do a bit of story time. Inspired by my sister to share "cool stories", I'll talk about some experiences I had while working in law enforcement while also expressing gratitude for those who commit themselves to public sector work. Whether it be cops, social workers, firefighters, EMTs, etc., those who try to tackle some of society's hardest problems have my gratitude. Perhaps once you hear some of the stories I'll tell you'll find some gratitude for the folks working to make society better in your life too.

Episode 008: Everyone & Everything
In this episode I express fascination and gratitude for science, recent developments in nuclear fusion, and muse about how our hyperconnected ability to know everyone and everything might explain strong emotional reactions towards anger or anxiety that many of us feel. There's so much information to consume and as inherently creative creatures at our core, the delay between how quickly everyone and everything is available and our biological, mental, and social "muscle memory" can process all that leads to a "does not compute" moment of anxiety. Alas, I am hopeful that we will adapt as we take advantage of emergent social phenomena and sentiment to become a sort of super-organism consisting of virtually localized communities of information consumers and curators. This may be the longest episode summary yet.

In this episode I talk about why I'm an entrepreneur, what I've learned so far, and my gratitude for inspirational and creative heavyweights who've come before me on the entrepreneurial journey. If you're someone who's on the fence about whether to start your own company or not, or just curious about how to think about that sort of decision, perhaps this episode will help you to unleash your creative passion.

Episode 005: Hitchhikers Guide to Crypto
In this episode I talk about my deep belief in crypto as a tool to digitally represent truth that we can strap to the rocket of computation to make abundance available to the world and to create more abundance. If my voice sounds weird it's because it was recorded quite late (or early?) and the fatigue was deep. Thank you for listening!

Episode 004: Hack The Planet
In this episode I cover my hacker origin story and walk you through the basis for my love of technology.
