This week we are joined by the incredible Sultana! We discuss the way the pandemic has shifted our culture, the power of manifestation,  human manipulation of nature and medicine and so much more. Tune in to our longest episode yet, but worth every minute! 

In this episode Ian and Brendhan slow down for a chance to reflect on their conversations with their first three guests! If you have any reflections of your own please share them with us by leaving us a voice message on the Anchor App or by DMing us @phonecallspodcast on Instagram, we'd love to hear from you!

In this episode Ian and Brendhan are joined by Joe Lewis. A coach, a guide, a yoga instructor, and an avid barefoot runner Joe is well versed in the spiritual and the physical aspects of the journey that is being human on this earth. Together we get into some interesting conversations about Star Wars, the Force, Yoga and human evolution. All in all a fascinating conversation! (Sorry again for the audio difficulties, I hope that despite the hiccups in audio, Joe's messages will be able to present themselves clearly.) 

In this episode Ian and Brendhan talk to Jeff Garland about their homework assignment: to take note of all the decisions they make throughout the week and whether they were made from a place of fear or a place of love. We realized love and fear impact us in almost daily ways, through this discussion we break down what love/fear mean to us and discover that even though it's impossible to reduce love/fear to a binary, ultimately, the final decision follows a path of love or a path of fear. This was a great conversation, so I hope you all enjoy!

Welcome back to our first episode of our third season! This season we're bringing in some of the best voices from around the country from some people we love very much, beginning with our good friend Adam Enz. In this episode we talk about what it means to be busy, especially after so many of us have experienced a slowdown during the pandemic, and the importance of incorporating play into our daily lives. I hope you all enjoy <3

In this episode Ian and Brendhan talk about some of the things they have learned following the recent protests sparked by the murders of black men, women and non-binary folks at the hands of the police in the United States. They grapple with the state of the United States and what some of the paths forward might look like including restorative and transformative justice as well as the importance of political education. 

Ian and Brendhan discuss their nap schedules, Brendhan finally gets into Yoga and Ian breaks down his transition from bodybuilding to a movement-based practice, and together they discuss the importance of movement in everyday life. Ian asks Brendhan if art is an extension of his self identity and then they discuss how dark energy is a perfect representation of life. 

Ian and Brendhan dissect what it means to be in a flow state and attempt to define what this state of bliss and productivity might be. 

In this episode Ian and Brendhan talk about what things they've taken personally over the past week and how they addressed them, the role of assumptions and if we should address our past head on or just let it go. 

Ian and Brendhan discuss their 'homework,' to dig deep into why they do things throughout the week and the limitations or benefits these intentions can have for us. They discuss doing things just to do them and enjoying the process of living, not living to achieve an end. Enjoy :)
