Episode 8 an update on my energy, as well as some patterns and narratives I have seen coming together in my life.  It's a vulnerable episode that comes from my heart, in the spirit of gratitude, humility, and service.  I also talk a little about the broad themes I see coming through in my work as I move forward.

The end features a dialogue with one of my favorite philosophical partners, my son Arthur, age 11 as of this recording and publication.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Episode 7 is about the 2 "-rations" that I use to bring people to the Realm of Purpose.  I also talk about why I consider myself to be a Platonist vision coach and how reality is constantly misaligned with our ideal, and why that's actually the best thing we could ask for as humans.
