  • Sankalpa and Datsuns

    I wasn't great at modifying or restoring old cars. Though the Datsun 1600 that passed through my life has now probably been crushed into a cube of scrap metal due to the injuries caused by an angle grinder, some of these great little cars have been saved.

    In this episode we explore how Daniel Wu's example of the Datsun 510 demonstrates the power of working with a Sankalpa in mind.
    We'll talk about what a sankalpa is, where you can find one and why you might want one to save your next creative project from an unfortunate encounter with an angle grinder.

  • The Infrastructure of being

    What would life be without structure? What if our internal dialogue and sense of self were left to wander aimlessly? Join me as I ponder the intricate balance between structure and freedom in our lives, while discussing how our internal infrastructure can support our spiritual journey and creativity. Drawing from personal experiences as a student and parent, I examine the role of structure in helping us make sense of our lives, especially when faced with difficult events.

    Have you ever wondered if too much structure could actually limit your growth? In the second part of this eye-opening episode, we delve into the power of our internal infrastructure and how it shapes our life experiences. Learn how clinging too tightly to a structure can restrict the movement of spirit, and how embracing flexibility can lead to a more fulfilling life. Be prepared to rethink your own balance of structure and freedom as I share an example from a music show that left me with a profound realization. Don't miss this thought-provoking conversation that will challenge you to reassess the very infrastructure of your being.
