We will be launching a series of solo reflections to gain some insight on topics such as creativity, self-awareness, and consciousness. We just want to sit down for some one-on-one time.

Today's episode looks at perspectives and the realization that our facts based point of view is never the full picture. Humans require socialization across multiple vantage points -- as much as we disagree, we need each other more than ever.

Communication and emotion is the bridge between human spaces. Today we explore this concept and how we use media, art, creativity, and the spoken/written word to try and bring each other together in the darkness. Alex and his long time collaborator Tonio go into this ultra introspective, at times existential, conversation to look at how they view the creative process as an expression of human consciousness. We go deep on this track!

We go all over the spectrum on today's episode! Our entry point will be the political election to define a generation. Alex and Jonathan take a high level view of what's at stake, with a little bit of commentary over social media censorship, free market capitalism, Mary Trump, and some conspiracy theories. This is why we make podcasts!

The stigma of appearing weak and unstable is one that exhausts many-a-men in America. The pressures to perform at the highest level as leaders, without showing any flaws, has come as a long and weary obstacle that most adults have to face. This results in having to hide the pain and sadness to a point where it does more harm -- without seeking the attention needed. There are those that are trying to make a change for the better culturally. This episode talks about how openness isn't met with the warm reception needed -- validating the uphill battle those struggling must continuously face.

A bit of a disclaimer for this episode, a claim is stated that those with mental illness commit violence and crime. Mental illness is a serious issue in America, yet, it should not be confused with those who commit violence and crime have a mental illness. On the contrary, those suffering mental illness are in fact more likely to become a victim of domestic violence and abuse.

Setbacks are a part of life, but some resonate longer, and in some sense, define a life afterwards. Alex brings back Jonathan for an examination into what could have been a life changing opportunity to start their own entertainment company in Hollywood. Join our conversation as we dive into chasing a dream and finding the silver lining through adversity.

It's not often you can talk the same thoughts and feelings with a close friend about big life events -- not to mention during a historic year. Alex brings on his guest host, Jonathan, to talk about their shared experience of being new fathers. Join us as we navigate what the future looks like for our little ones, as we cope with understanding what starting a family will take and what a "normal" life will soon look like for our children.

Doing something completely original to the internet and recording a reaction. The recent footage of Daniel Prude is considerably chilling to watch as it displays the slow, methodical torture and eventual murder of someone suffering Mental Illness. This is a reoccurring narrative. People who suffer are left to navigate the justice system alone, without special care, and in worses case, end up dead. This episode is the little I can do to share his story.

Eric and Alex continue their conversation series of mental & emotional wellness awareness. The mind is a powerful thing, one at which can shape your reality and experience. Positive thinking as a way to manage our anger is a practice that sometimes seems more the destination rather than the journey. We go into what it takes and our experience trying to navigate the stresses of life.

Alex and Jonathan discuss Noam Chomsky's feature documentary about the concentration of wealth in Requiem for the American Dream. Also, the beloved Ellen DeGeneres is now the target of the new Era Rage. Will she be the next to get cancelled?
