It was a pleasure to have Brendon on once again. We start with a COVID check-in, then we talk about workouts, engaging in play, staying in the present moment, investing in your twenties, gaslighting, and how we all like to romanticize "getting back to nature." It sounds serious, but we have a ton of laughs in the process. Enjoy!

Hale is in his final year of an undergraduate degree in philosophy at Vancouver Island University. We discuss why he chose philosophy, dyslexia, substance abuse and addiction, and more!

Zac is a good friend, a curious question-poser, and always fun to talk to. We discuss Formula 1 racing, chess, ascending to the top of a given activity or field, and a whole bunch more!

We discuss the nuclear family and the three-generation home model, cities vs. rural areas, gardening and growing your own food, the 40-hour work week and work/life balance, Lambda schools vs. student loans, chatbots, and more!

Colby Stolson is a bibliophile, bassist, and fellow Publisher's Rep at Broadview Press. For the first half hour we talk about books (so skip to 30:00ish if that doesn't turn your crank).

After that, we talk about mortgages and debt, winter/snow, our experience travelling in the US for Broadview, how self-consciousness and doubt cripple us in sports and in creative pursuits, and finally, minimalism and how possessions can hold our memories.

We discuss the transportation alternatives to cars/trucks, a little bit about privacy and civil liberties, and a whole lot about the two candidates for the US election—Donald Trump and Joe Biden. I combed through Wikipedia before the episode and came prepared with little-known facts about each of the candidates. Enjoy!

P.S. It was Trump's grandfather, Friedrich, who died of the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, not Trump's father, Fred.
