Welcome to the Beyond - the podcast for lionhearted men. Spending time in meaningful conversations with young people is an absolute honor for me. 

I love hearing their rawness. Their honesty. I love getting beyond the b******t and platitudes and surface level crap.  I am deeply humbled and excited that I’ve found my way to allowing my curiosity, my authenticity, my listening to create the space for real connection and deep dives. I believe it creates significant, essential space for our young people to feel seen, feel safe, and bring their wholeness alive. 

My most sincere belief is that all young people crave these kinds of real conversations, where they can bring themselves. Fully. Raw. Exposed. Passionate. And feel safe and grateful for the opportunity not have another meaningless, shallow holiday party kind of experience that insults their intelligence and creates serious dissonance. 

Today’s conversation is with Theo Andrew. Theo is a magical, brilliant game creator and player. If ever you get the chance to play a game with him it will be an experience that will live with you forever. And he is stuck. Caught in a world asking him to jump through all the hoops…and he hates and sucks at hoops, so his brilliance, his passion, and his aliveness is stuck. It leaves me deeply driven to unlock the potential and incredible ness of our young people.  

Come along as Theo shares the mindset of Generation Z, the hopelessness, the frustration, the powerlessness…ugh. Then we turn it towards creating new pathways, new imaginings, and what might happen if we unleashed his gifts!  

I hope you enjoy this unfiltered glimpse into the challenging adventure our young people are living through. A real conversation. The real struggle. The deep desire for a life beyond, Beyond struggle. Beyond hoops.  Thank you for caring, for listening, and welcome to The Beyond - conversations with my friends.
