Progress can be difficult to measure especially when faced with the ideals of consistency and comparison. If you walk one mile a day for one day then you've walked one mile but if you do that everyday for a month then at the end of the month you've walked 30 miles. Is that same as walking 30 miles in one day? That is an odd and comparative question to pose, here is a follow up to take your thinking further. What if you walked 30 miles a day everyday for 30 days? Then you would have walked 900 miles after one month but isn't that integer just the same additive solution as walking 30 miles in one month only with bigger, "scarier" numerals? Does the larger number make it more of a goal to attain or is just a wall in your way towards what could be larger goals and rewards? If you never walk, if you don't have the strength or experience, then walking one mile might as well be 300. The opposite has truth in it as well, if you're in supreme tip-top shape and walk everyday then walking 10 miles might as well be one. A kitten needs to sleep 22 hours a day in order to thrive and grow but a healthy human is not even able to sleep that many hours in a day, no matter how much they wanted to. We're all different candles that burn at different intensities and in different colors, all should be appreciated but that’s not always the case, especially when appreciation doesn't start at it's own source. Learn to appreciate your flame, learn how to make yourself glow and burn in the ways that you want because whether we like it or not we all lit fam 💯, we didn't light it and we tried to fight it but it's always been burning since the worlds been turning so we might as well learn how to shine in the meantime :P

Everything matters; and like a moth to a flame reason will come to those things that matter to you. I present to you The Moth Affect; named for the light seeking nature of moths this hypothesis suggests that the seemingly disconnected things that we do in the dark will always seem to connect in a way that brings us back to the light. This one consists of an inherently dark story that once analyzed brought me to a lighter understanding of emotions like anger. I fell asleep twice while reviewing it, I don't know if that is a good sign or a bad sign so I will leave it up to you to decide! Enjoy!

If you ever feel silly or don't believe in yourself just remember that there is a highly successful and publicly beloved cranberry company named Ocean Spray and cranberries have absolutely nothing to do with the ocean! We all just accepted that it made sense! You would think oh maybe they grow by the ocean or need salt water but nope and nope! The founders literally just thunked up a named and rolled with it and now it is like the only cranberry company anybody even knows about. Just believe in yourself and all things are possible! That is pretty much the gist of this episode but less about cranberries and more about the ideas and the energy behind just going for it.

Fun fact: Since my last name means hat in Italian I get a lot of weird results when googling myself. This time I came across an old radio commercial from the early 1900s for a company named "Adam Hats" so naturally I had to cut it up and turn it into the new intro for now, anyways I hope you enjoys this episode's "content" ;)

In Adam's first solo-dolo-cast he covers a strange array of topics from the importance of structure to the kismet nature of spirit animals and synchronicities. Come along on this haphazard journey as Adam finds his way back to his voice and who knows, you might just find yours along the way too!
