Four Prompts On Death

Rahul Paul! Rahul is a 26yo Hindu-raised Bangledeshi, a third year medical student interested in emergency medicine, and a scientist. During this conversation, we discuss the relatable story of Krishna, the value of earned perspective, and why you should breathe into your balls.

I hope you enjoy! :)

#LongFormSundays!

This week, I reflect on the big move north from Tampa, FL to Coopersburg, PA. I recount the first great meeting of the parents, a hand-delivered cat, and a romp through the 20 acres of land filled with wild onions.

I hope you enjoy! :)

#LongFormSundays!

This week, I reflect on my time in Tampa, the people that I've known, and the memories we've created together. Both a goodbye and a commemoration, I'm incredibly thankful for the two years in the Sunshine State.

I hope you enjoy! :)

Alana Karma! Alana is a 21yo artist, student, and performer. I met Alana through the Sacred Floats and Gems nebulous (which brought previous guests Kenny Henderson and Jared Roa to the podcast). Her canvases include skin, both inked and painted, fire, and aerial silks. In this heady conversation, we discuss her Mohawk heritage, Wiccan upbringing, and the sacred fire. I hope you enjoy! :)

This week, I reflect on postponing my Step One test date and packing up my life in Tampa. Instead of stressing about an impending exam, I am able to enjoy my final seven days in Florida while making boxes and filling them up.

#LongFormSundays! This week, I reflect on inactivity, injuries, and guacamole. Step Prep has left me feeling quite sedentary and wishing for more movement, just like the good old days. I hope you enjoy! :)

Pooja Jayaprakash! Pooja is 23yo second year medical student and Indian woman with a liberal arts background. I met Pooja during the first week of med school and I have known that she would make an outstanding guest on the podcast. During this conversation, we discuss growing up Indian in Utah, imagining her mixed-race children, resisting the draw of medicine, and the death of her 109yo grandfather with his complicated legacy. I hope you enjoy! :)

#LongFormSundays! This week, I reflect on my eternal struggle with neurology. My grit is tested as I attempt to review reflex arcs and neuroanatomy. I enjoy a small temper tantrum and then get back to the work. I hope you enjoy! :)

#LongFormSundays! This week, I reflect on the fugue state of Step Prep. The daily grind of questions, review, and videos can leave me feeling like time moves too slowly and too quickly at once. To offset this, I look to the night sky. I hope you enjoy! :)

AJ Thurston! AJ is a 29yo combat veteran, teacher, and follower of Christ. I met AJ while coaching crossfit and I'm grateful for the opportunity to bring him to you. In this interview, we discuss why he joined the Marines at 17yo, following the example of his step-father, the suicide of a brother in arms, and the importance of a consistent personality. I hope you enjoy! :)
