Real Feels - Modern Masculinity with Brad Gage

Shaun Brown and Brad are old friends. They've worked together, drank together, and lived together. Today, they spent some time together talking about the important stuff - the brutality of the animal kingdom as seen through instagram videos, true love, and the challenge of being a sensitive guy in the modern age. Thank you for listening!

Comedian, actor and writer Beth Rowe is getting married. Well, was about to get married when we recorded this. She's since then actually done it (congrats Beth) but here she talks about the anxieties, the politics and the utter joy of committing to her life with her best friend. We also talked about how living near Columbine High School affected her view on guns, and how her version of meditation is getting her nails done. We balance the dark with the light here on Real Feels...

Comedian Ricky Carmona is grateful for many things - including getting to write jokes for a TV show after learning how to speak English watching TV shows. He talks about doing standup in Chicago before moving to LA in his mid-30's, which he admits is not the usual story. We caught him in a good spot! Sending a genuine THANK YOU for listening.

JJ Duncan is a writer, a mom, a seeker, a TV producer, and someone who has been dealt a hell of a 2019. Dive in as she runs us through her takes on identity, the male gaze, spiritual growth, and how she dealt with her son's cancer. It's a wonderful lesson in not getting trapped in a persona.

Ted talks about feeling activated - finding a cause and putting energy towards it. Whether it be his collaborative filmmaking, his feminine energy or political campaigns. He drops the simple, yet welcome reminder about how "knowing more" in politics isn't as helpful as "doing things". Thanks for listening!

Warren brings his dynamic energy to the podcast, opening up about his gratitude practices, how he deals with people who doubt his positivity, and the inspiring story of when he went against all reason and moved to Los Angeles. Today, we try to answer the question he poses "Misery loves company, but what does happiness love?"

Lindsay opens up about the anxiety of constant self-promotion on social media, how people engage more with photos of her face than her life, and never allowing herself to get bored. Also - thank YOU for listening to this podcast.

Hunter opens up about his anxiety-fighting rituals, his very hippie parents, and tapping into the more playful side of his spirit in the wake of sobriety. Thank YOU for listening to this podcast.

Welcome to our first episode where Atsuko opens up to Brad about being her husband's boss, the meditative process of writing jokes while eating, and her newfound interest in astrology. And I want to say to YOU reading this - genuinely - thank you for listening.
