Wisdom, Humor, Brain Ketchup
Today’s guest is Doogie Horner, a comedian, author, and graphic designer. Matt and Doogie have been lifelong friends, and they sit down to discuss the elements of wisdom identified by the Self Assessed Wisdom Scale (SAWS), exploring the relationship between humor and wisdom. Please know that the purpose of this episode is not to be funny, but to discuss how humor can be used wisely.

DBT, Wisdom, and The Cloud of Unknowing
Today’s episode features a colleague of mine who practices with me on the same DBT consultation team, and someone who happens to also be my business partner, John Bickel. I talk with John about how this podcast does and does not overlap with DBT. John has already identified some themes from his clinical work on how to be wise, the exact thing I’m trying to do on the wise Elders podcast.
