Kilaya Ciriello loves the clean and simple life. In between meditation, Tai Chi, and long walks through New York's Central Park, this Plato scholar also finds time to write books (8) and think deeply about the nature of the good life. In this conversation we explore the nuances of both astrology and Plato, where they intersect, and why the Virtues are still necessary - perhaps today more than ever.

In this episode we explore the Leo archetype with Cara-Lyn Giovanniello, amateur cellist and world-traveler who has held leadership development roles at UC Berkeley, Nextdoor and Block, and who currently offers coaching and organizational strategy consulting to teams throughout Silicon Valley, including at Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Google. Here we catch Cara-Lyn in a self-reflective mood, and take the opportunity to discuss what it feels like to express so much Fire energy, learn how Virgo can be a crucial grounding force for Piscean tendencies, and hear why it's important to have so many best friends (10, to be exact).

In this episode I interview Seth Bain. Seth is a very creative chocolatier in the San Francisco Bay Area who occasionally sells startups to Fortune 100 companies. These days he also works in criminal justice reform, advocating against the death penalty and helping to provide second chances for people. He's a double Gemini, approaching his second Saturn return, and a total astrology skeptic. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did.
