In this episode, I reflect on the power of dreams—and why we must never let others talk us out of them. Through stories of students, artists, and a young woman with Paris in her heart, I explore how our dreams reveal our purpose, sharpen with time, and connect us to something greater. Life is hard, yes, but we have a choice: to be the hero or the victim. So I say, protect your dreams, nurture them, and let them unfold. Because each of us is truly unique—and that’s where the magic begins.

In this episode, I share my journey walking the Camino de Santiago—900 kilometers, 2 million steps, and a lifetime of reflection. What started as a physical challenge became a deep exploration of belief, identity, and possibility. I talk about the hero’s journey, the wisdom of Pablo Neruda, and the realization that life can be vast or small depending on how we choose to see it. It’s not about conquering the world—it’s about conquering the self. And yes, all is possible.

Lately, the news feels darker than ever—but in this episode, I reflect on why that might be and why our daily lives often tell a different story. From Carl Jung’s sunrise musings in Africa to a personal tech mishap that turned into a small victory, I explore how fear, community, and optimism shape our experience of the world. I also revisit the tale of Robin Hood and what it says about our innate desire to do good. Join me as I challenge the negativity, embrace gratitude, and remind us all to think critically and look for the light.

In this episode, I explore the idea of life as a personal crusade—a journey toward self-discovery, faith, and inner strength. As someone who gained consciousness in the chaos of the 2020s, I’ve wrestled with the question: what model should I live by? I choose the Crusader—not for conquest, but for transformation. Along the way, I confront my demons, embrace chivalry, and walk the silent mountains with David as we prepare for El Camino. I may never finish my mission, but I’m on the path. And that, to me, is sacred.

In this episode, I reflect on what it means to be truly unique in a world that often pushes conformity. From my rebellious youth in 1950s Canada—blue jeans, perms, and potato-pierced ears—to encounters with eccentric souls and societal shifts, I share stories that celebrate individuality and caution against idleness. Whether it’s tattoos, towers of Babel, or critical thinking, I believe we must honor the colorful characters who make life vibrant. Be different, but be engaged. You matter.

I reflect on the value of time—my time—and how easily we lose sight of it. From street scenes to student talks, from spiritual apathy to bureaucratic drift, I explore why we must reclaim our awareness and document our presence. Time is fleeting. Let’s make it count.

Are we truly happier today than generations past? In this episode, I reflect on the pressures of modern life—from stressed-out students to the relentless grind of education, work, and relationships. I explore how losing a clear social path has led many to feel lost, and how reconnecting with nature, honoring our uniqueness, and documenting our dreams might offer a way forward.

In this episode, I dive into one of life’s biggest questions: is happiness really the goal? I share why I believe the journey matters more than fleeting joy, and how contentment, self-awareness, and daily intention shape a fulfilling life. From morning mindset to emotional resilience, I explore how we can own our experiences—good or bad—and live with purpose. It’s not about chasing happiness; it’s about creating meaning.

In this episode, I reflect on what it really means to live a long, meaningful life. From smoking and drinking to relationships and regrets, I share my own journey of experimentation, growth, and eventual transformation. I talk about the importance of honest guidance for young people, the power of critical thinking, and the deep connection we can find beyond ourselves. Aging, I’ve found, isn’t a descent—it’s an ascent. Let’s explore how to live fully, wisely, and with purpose.

In this episode, I reflect on our deep need to reconnect with nature—even in the midst of concrete jungles. From a squirrel’s daring journey across power lines to quiet walks through mountain trails, I explore how the natural world restores us, grounds us, and reminds us of our place in something bigger. I touch on everything from cockroaches to bamboo forests, plastic pollution to poetry, and why respecting nature is not just necessary—it’s transformative. Tune in for a thoughtful journey into the wild, and maybe a little soul restoration too.
