The Quest Within

Oh I know uncomfortability isn't a word.

But just bear with us. I promise this misuse of a word describes what we are talking about perfectly.

Nate is back again as we dive into why it's okay to be uncomfortable sometimes. Life is unpredictable and having resilience during uncomfortable times is key!

Enjoy!

00:00 - Intro / Introducing Uncomfortability
7:15 - Why Should we be okay with it? / The Nuances of Uncomfortability

In this episode I’m pleased to announce that NATE IS BACK… or Extra Breakfast as he’s known nowdays haha!   Is balance achievable? Listen to Nathan and myself argue about this and then talk about moments in life when you SHOULD quit… I thought this point, which I made in my Tetris video, should be expanded on, and Nathan was the perfect person to do it with.

Enjoy! 

00:00 - Intro and Balance. Is it Achievable?
14:54 - More thoughts on knowing when to quit.

In this episode, Legion, a photographer I met at Ground Zero earlier this January and reconnected with at 2D Con in August, talks to me about Final Fantasy XIV and why I should play it. We touch on everything from themes of loss and the community’s support to gaining confidence and becoming a leader through the art of being a tank.

Will Legion convince me to play Final Fantasy XIV? Listen and find out today on The Quest Within!

In this Episode, I sit down with Mayra Holguin, a friend of mine that I met at 2D Con who is JUST AS LOUD AS ME! We discuss how video game music heals, the doors and connections it has opened up for us, and mentally how it helps us.

This is a topic I am SUPER passionate about and I am so glad when I find others who are JUST AS passionate, yet on the consumer side of things (something we talk about really early on in the episode). This conversation goes in many lovely directions, so check it out!

Episode 003 is all about the right to quiet enjoyment. What is it, how can we practice it, and what things surround it? AJ Schmalenberger, Jason Patterson (Zenos/Diamond Zenos) and I discuss this, social boundaries, how to recharge, how to limit over-consumption of media, and more!

Episode 002 explores food! We also talk about doing different things in different ways to achieve success, and my good friend Roq shared a story about uniting him and his GF's families over cooking a turkey in a different way than they were used to! Recording this had me salivating haha.

The Quest Within is the brain child of Nathan Ashby and Theology (Matthew Bentley), who met at a restaurant some years ago as a chef and a server, respectively. After quickly becoming friends through their shared love of Trance music, Nathan later served as Theology's life coach. As their bond deepend through their sessions, they decided to join forces and create a podcast.
