Feeling joy these days is complex.
So we’re diving into it today.
On my birthday, a man dropped his keys from a scooter and vanished down the street. I picked them up, but he was gone. What I felt for him lingered, and it led me somewhere deeper.
This episode is about small things with big echoes. Personal and global. About the weight of the world, and the strange guilt of trying to feel joy in the middle of it all.
I chat about the news, the grief, the noise, the brokenness—and how we might keep showing up anyway. With conversation. With community. With a smile that might change a stranger’s day. No clean answers, but maybe a little bit of hope.
Thanks for being here.
This is joy, bro. A podcast about movement—mostly what I learn through biking. Observations, musings, and more.
