  • Ep. 19 - What is "Freedom"?
    Dec 9 2025

    "And what is it but fragments of your own self you would discard that you may become free?" —Kahlil Gibran


    We typically make freedom an external job:

    • I'll be free when I have XXXXXX amount of money in my bank account.
    • I'll be free when I travel.
    • I'll be free when I leave my 9-5.


    In truth, every situation contains both freedom and non-freedom. Light and darkness.


    There are advantages and disadvantages to every situation, so our opportunity is to choose our freedom in any moment by shifting our perspective.


    This episode features @motionbalance as he chimes in with questions & comments.


    Look forward to your thoughts on this one!

  • Ep. 18 - Illogical Decision Making
    Dec 2 2025

    Most logic is actually not logical —it comes from fear and limitation.


    In today's episode, I overview illogical decision making.


    I discuss:

    • why illogical decision making is actually critical for human happiness
    • why logic is usually emotional, and
    • how to access illogical thinking


    This one is counterintuitive! I look forward to your comments on this one.
