Joining me again today is regular guest, Eric Grace. First, I should mention we recorded this the day before Jimmy Kimmel’s show was reinstated by ABC, that’s a win for free speech we celebrate. We talk about that, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, democracy, corporate narcissism, capitalism, welfare, my personal crusade about the phrase “It feels like,” self-improvement projects, the integration of awakening and much more. It’s been a while since I’ve said it, so I will: this podcast is best listened to from the beginning.

There’s an article I recently wrote that we reference and the link is in the show notes. Also, I wrote a dense page or two about why “It feels like…” and “I feel like…” are such important phrases to unpack, but that’s available only to podcast members, and that’s my cue.
