June 29, 2025 An Apology/Future of the Podcast
I start this episode by apologising. The quality has gone down recently, for a few reasons.
After deleting some bad episodes, I’ve realised that it’s time to go back to what is really good about this show, and to leave what isn’t working.

June 22, 2025 I hitchhiked into China through a 4300m border crossing!
Getting into china was a huge challenge - not just getting the visa while on the road, but also finding a way through the border. My only way was by the Pamir Highway - the most dangerous road in the world, and one of the least busy.

June 15, 2025 Why Most Goals Fail - How to Set Intentions That Actually Work
Why do most New Year’s resolutions fail? Because they are set at the wrong time of year. This episode outlines a new exercise I’ve developed. The exercise is best completed in May/June because you will be your most motivated and most energised. The rest of nature is starting to grow too. Days are longer and you have more time.

May 25, 2025 “This is how you talk without knowing their language”
On my hitchhiking journeys, I often found myself in places where I didn’t speak the language — but that didn’t stop me from connecting. In this episode, I share how I learned to communicate without words: through gestures, energy, presence, and trust. Sometimes, these wordless moments led to the most honest and human connections I’ve ever had.

May 18, 2025 “I thought I was about to be murdered… but I still got in.”
It’s easy to say what you wouldn’t do—until you’re actually there. In this episode, I share the story of a moment that genuinely scared me: hitchhiking with someone who looked like trouble, going somewhere no one else would take me. It forced me to confront how quickly we judge others, and how fear, desperation, and instinct can change what we think we’d do. This one’s about trust, risk, and the uncomfortable space between belief and action.

May 04, 2025 ‘I buried him on the hill’ - Death, Personality, Becoming a Father
In this episode, I explore a series of intense dreams I’ve had in the lead-up to becoming a father — from broken teeth to hidden bodies. I unpack the fears behind them, the symbols they carry, and how they reflect a deeper tension between who I’ve been and who I’m becoming. I also share a ritual walk I took in response — burying an old part of myself, planting something new, and confronting the truth that to grow, we often have to let something die. This is a reflection on fatherhood, fear, and staying true to yourself through big life changes.

April 27, 2025 Like Waking up from a Coma (Returning Home After 5 Years on the Road) Episode 11
It was like being an a coma - not being home for 5 years. I had to get to know my friends and family like new people, technology had changed the world, and everyone was watching their words. Even now people reference things I have no idea about because I missed them.
