Last recording from Bangkok. Jeff and I are both vocal students of Lazar. I'm also working with Lazar on his track Unreal. Cool chat about life in Macedonia and the creative process.

Third breakthrough of my life journey since starting this podcast. This one is a little odd in that I could see a scenario where this is more of a blip and doesn't end up being very impactful, but I think it's more likely this will in hindsight be the start of a pretty big shift in life priorities for me.

The wait is over! After much editing and tinkering, I'm ready to release the episode from my roast trigger warning: Some of the content in here is pretty brutal, so listen at your own risk. This is one of the coolest things I have ever done. A huge thank you to Amy for organizing, and to everyone who roasted. You are all very brave for doing so, and I'm proud to call all of you my friends.

Carl is an ex-Green Beret, geopolitics guru, and all around badass. We met up in Thailand to record this episode which evolves from his childhood, to his military service, to his connection and thoughts about Burma. Carl is exceptionally thoughtful and knowledgeable, providing insights that are impossible to get from someone who hasn't directly experienced these things over years. Super grateful to Carl for agreeing to have this conversation. Hope to do it again.

Amy & Tom were married in their early 20's and got divorced 6 years ago. They haven't spoken to each other since Tom told Amy over the phone that he has decided to divorce here, so this is the first interaction they have had in 6 years. Aside from my Yosemite episode, this is the piece of art that I am most proud of. I feel so grateful to Amy and Tom for their vulnerability and willingness to do this. Thank you so much to both of you for making this episode such a special experience to make.

On the drive back from Pine Mountain Lake, DP and I recorded a car podcast! Unfortunately my computer died halfway through the drive, so I only have the first half here but it was still a good episode. It's also placed well in that next week I'm finally releasing the AMY & TOM EPISODE! That episode is going to be one of my best, so you should try to get a sense for the type of person DP is as you listen, and then compare that to the feelings you get from Tom in next week's episode. Enjoy!

Just got back from Asia and reflecting on the last few months. So much chaos, adventure, growth, and fun. If you want an interesting point of reference, go listen to my life update from a year ago. Or two years ago. Both feel like I was a totally different person than I am today, which I guess is the point of the podcast. Maybe it would be disappointing if I felt like the same person. Also this podcast spotlight with Jesse Lee Peterson is so absurd. I can't believe this human exists and found myself cycling between thinking he is completely insane and thinking that he has some great points. Can't wait to re-listen to this in a decade.

Finally got mom! You've heard her drop in on a few other episodes, but this is the closest I have gotten to a 1:1 Greg<>Mom episode. Hoping I can continue to push on this and get a full episode with just her at some point. I think she started a little preserved but definitely opened up at the end, so I'm thinking it is possible. If you hear this and like it, tell my mom you want more content from her. I'm thinking that would help. Enjoy!
