39 min - #97: Ryan Bush (Designing the Mind)
Ryan Bush is the author of Designing the Mind and his new upcoming book, Become Who You Are, which you can stay updated with its February release date at his website. We discussed psychitecture--the architecture of the mind--utilizing principles of Nietzsche and Maslow's philosophy and psychology.
55 min - #96: The Myth of Sisyphus (6: Drama)
We discuss Chapter 2 "The Absurd Man", Section 2, "Drama" of Camus' Nobel prize winning essay, The Myth of Sisyphus. Here, Camus explains why the actor is a prime example of who "the absurd man" is. The absurd man, much like the actor, lives many different lives--and all of them to the fullest. What the absurdist cannot unify, they multiply.

54 min - #92: The Myth of Sisyphus (3: Philosophical Suicide)
Can you live with the absurd? And if you can, can you philosophically live with it? To Camus, philosophical suicide is the sudden leap the existentialist takes from nihilism to mysticism. This episode is my analysis of chapter 1, section 3, "Philosophical Suicide" of Albert Camus' nobel prize winning essay, The Myth of Sisyphus.

Dryw Owens is a multi-instrumentalist musician and producer. He is both the producer and a member of Moxy the Band. Moxy the Band recently put out their debut concept album, Dream Feeling, which incorporates '80s themes along with a futuristic, synth-wave type of sound.

We discussed the creative process, the flow state, following your dreams, and, of course, the concepts behind Dream Feeling and Moxy the Band. You can find Dryw Owens on Instagram @drywowens
