  • Living Abroad & What It Means To Pursue A Good Life

    Today’s episode is with Kevin! Kevin is an expat from the US who has been living in Budapest, Hungary since 2017. We discuss living life as an expat, career v fulfillment, death as it relates to pursuing a meaningful life, inequality & nationalism, and other topics. It was really cool meeting with Kevin and being able to relate to someone who is living life here as a foreigner like myself and just talking about living a more meaningful life. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the episode!

  • Bonus Episode! AI Alan Watts & Terence McKenna Have A Conversation About The Nature Of Reality

    Bonus Episode! I realize this a deviation for the regular content I put out, however I'm simply experimenting with AI and its capabilities and want to see what can be created. This is in no way a replacement of my human made podcast "Existence" which will always continue to be released as normal every Friday. So if you like this sort of bonus content or hate it and never want to hear it again, let me know on social media! 
    Welcome to the very first episode of this AI generated podcast series. Every single word of this podcast has been generated entirely with the help of GPT-4, the latest artificial intelligence language model developed by Open AI. THIS IS NOT Alan Watts and the guests are not who they portray either. THIS IS PURELY FICTION and nothing in this podcast should be taken as said by the real people they portray. This is strictly for entertainment purposes and should be taken as simply a showcase of the incredible advancement in AI technology.

I hope to have him on more regularly as this podcast continues. But today we discuss spirituality, morality, peace, kindness and its influence, passion and respect, the importance of having perspective, music, and other topics. I hope you enjoy this episode!

  • Backpacking Europe And The Subconscious Shadow

    Today’s episode is with Sophie Webb. Sophie’s a friendly and courageous traveler from London backpacking her way through Europe and someone who I just so happen to meet at a The Loft Hostel in Budapest Hungary. Super lucky to  find such an incredibly bright, brave and emotionally intelligent person to talk to. So grateful that she was able to find the energy to sit down and talk with me. It was awesome just getting to know her just even a little bit and I think this conversation really just goes to show how much there is to gain with strangers when we come from a place of love, kindness, compassion, and allowing ourselves to move even just slightly outside our comfort zones.
