The last of the Montreal chronicles - this conversation was recorded at the end of August. 

One of the more soul-nourishing conversations I’ve had this year, and you’d expect it from none other than the great and powerful, Joshua Murray. We reminisce on times growing up together, the various ways we self-talk, a recent mushroom trip, and systems put in place that foster growth.

He’s an engineer by day, and berserker by night. For more of his perspective, check out civilized savagery.
