Ned Heads! In this episode we dive headfirst into a nostalgic and thought-provoking journey through convention culture, wild festival adventures, and the life lessons found in unexpected places — including the dust-filled wonderland of Burning Man.

From the hilarity of memorabilia hoarding and late-night ice cream escapades to deep reflections on aging, grief, and personal growth, we explore the symbolic rituals of Burning Man, the power of community, and how discomfort often leads to the most meaningful transformations.

Along the way, we unpack quirky idioms, tackle mental health, and celebrate the chaos and clarity of life in your 30s. With humor, heart, and a few dusty stories from the Playa, this episode is a reminder that every struggle is an experience earned — and every earned experience shapes who we become.
