Uncommon with Chance Lunceford

Tiger was a pleasure to talk to.

It's refreshing and heartening to me when I get the opportunity to speak with a young adult with their shit together. Tiger has made certain realizations by 19 that it took me until my late 20's to figure out, and he's no need for the decade+ of recuperative work I had to put in to rebuild my life from the ravages of the dark world.

He's a burgeoning filmmaker, and a burgeoning human as well. We talk best practices, principles, how mistakes and accidents can be our best teachers and a lot more.

This episode will be of particular interest to younger members of the audience looking for a role-model in their peer group, but there's also plenty here for older listeners as well. We discuss foundational principles that you might have missed along the way, and then there's always the sentiment of appreciated a well-adjusted youth which you're likely to share with me.

Tiger was a recommendation, and he didn't disappoint.

John McAfee is a man who need no introduction.

Even so, I'll give a brief one: Computers, Money, Advocating Freedom, Running for President, Government Targeting, Traveling the World (Fleeing Persecution), Social Media Messenger

John has been advocating for personal sovereignty, an end to wars of aggression, ceasing the financial fuckery of centralized fiat currencies and the banks that control them, deconstructing the failed institutions of government and enjoying your life for many years now. 

This is a message that has cost him no small amount of money, time, conflict, stress and more. It's made all the more remarkable because he could have just sat back on the beach with more money than he knew what to do with, and enjoyed the twilight of his life with the love of his life, Mrs. Janice McAfee, sipping drinks and tripping balls.

Instead, he chose to be a messenger for freedom and personal sovereignty. Because he was not some fringe hippie with no means or connections, the powers that be saw an actual threat in the man, and have to this very day run a campaign to bring McAfee down. When a plantation owner with no slaves, but plenty of resources, announces to the unwitting slaves of the other plantation owners that they are slaves and don't need to be, is it any wonder they turn their eyes, along with their proclivity for lynching, to the man with the bullhorn?

Tune in and listen to the man as he seeks to enlighten you to the mess you're in, and suggest to you the ways in which you might remove yourself from it.

Cake is a gal I ran into on twitter who has a message.

A painful one.

She's experienced some suffering over the course of the last couple years, and instead of letting it totally destroy her world, she's decided to take life by the horns and hold on with a GI-Joe Kung-Fu Death Grip.

A biological death sentence in her mother was devastating enough, but then a fatal blow was then, very shortly thereafter, delivered to her marriage as well.

I don't want to give too much away, because Cake can tell her own story better than I can in a sentence or two, so listen in as we discuss pain and tragedy.

Then stay tuned while we discuss overcoming even the most massive of obstacles, and how it's done, and what comes after.

Cake In A Crisis

Joe Vrola has been on the podcast before, and I invited him back to talk about his film Buzzkill New Jersey, because it's almost out and I think that's pretty badass.

The last three years of Joe's life have been spent obsessing over every detail of the making of this film. Writer, director, editor, lead actor, etc... Joe basically did everything on this movie but run the camera, and that's quite a feat.

I know many of you out there have had daydreams about creating a film, and we get into some of the nitty-gritty behind the process, and you'll get a feel for how much work actually goes in to making a film that isn't a piece of shit.

Joe's a good dude, and he's sacrificed in immeasurable way to bring his vision into reality, which is something that I respect.

This is a valuable episode for those in the artistic professions, or seeking to move in that direction, because it will teach you the reality that there's no place for slackers anywhere, including in the arts.

Support Joe, he's created this film independently, and it a remarkable feat. If we don't support independent artists, then all we'll ever have is remakes of the same 15 movies that the major studios foist upon the unwashed masses in a constant recycling of simple stories for simple minds.

Buzzkill New Jersey

Dev is an interesting gal. She was recommended for the podcast, and had a lot of interesting perspectives and useful insights.

We talked about things like relationships with mentors, waking up to responsibility, relationships with God and your roots, how to identify when it's time to cut threads on poisonous relationships, and a lot more.

We got into some of Dev's own past, and pulled out concepts and tools that she used to climb out of pain and self-pity into the light of responsibility and taking life by the horns. 

At 23, Dev is quite a bit younger than most of the guests, and as the conversation unfurled, I found myself appreciating two things about that:

1) Dev seems to have some important and, in my estimation, critical concepts figured out at a relatively young age, and

2) That the seeds of an idea take years to mature. At 33, I recognize the seedlings of ideas that I have nurtured into mature fruit trees in the ideas and pursuits of a person a decade my junior. It is revealing to me in a way that I am beginning to understand in a deeper manner; elders really do understand, and care, and come from a place of caring when they impart wisdom and encourage learning.

I was grateful for the conversation with Dev, as I ever am with all my guest, and I feel that there is a lot to pick up on in this conversation, and a promising future being explored for the world to see.

Justin Murphy was an interesting feller to talk with. 

He's a sharp-minded dude, and has clearly spent quite a lot of time thinking about his place in the world, and what this life means to him. I came across Justin awhile back, because of me pal Jason Snyder, and I found his content to be quite thoughtful and lucid. 

I invited Justing on the podcast because he's been requested more than once, and I thought he'd make a very interesting guest. He did not disappoint. Our conversation ranged from intellectual integrity to Catholicism, and from thoughts on the nature of existence to perspectives on the power inherent in rigorous adherence to honesty, and all along the path, Justin had either an answer prepared or was prepared, at least, to answer.

One of the standout features of Mr. Murphy's character, in my eyes at least, is the obvious curiosity driving his attention. He seems to have targeted but bottomless fount of fascination, and this is a characteristic I can identify with.

This episode presents no shortage of challenging concepts and ideas to explore and contend with, and I think it will deliver an entertaining and thought-provoking listening experience.

The Other Life Now

Podcast

Based Deleuze

Phillip Eubanks is a genuine and decent human.

He's been one of the most ardent supporters of this podcast, and of my work in general, and I was curious to see what makes the man tick. So, I invited him on the podcast to get a better understanding of who Phil is, and what his mission is.

I'm very glad I did. 

Many of my guests are already established as notable personalities in their respective realms. Phil is a bit different in this regard. He's been a more behind-the-scenes kind of guy until very recently, but he felt compelled to step out from behind the curtains and take his place on the world stage.

Between developing connections and relationships with several high-impact people on twitter, continuing to develop his professional skills and creating the Laconic Brand of men's accessories, Phil is at a crossroads in his digital life that will be illuminating and informative for many interested in taking similar steps.

Phil has a deep-seated faith that directs and informs his journey, and he speaks of it in similar terms to ones I've often used to discuss that tell-tale sensation that accompanies the tap on the shoulder delivered by your destiny. As has so often recently been the case, we get into matters of creation and creator, and dive into the topics of faith, ascension and signposts of divine purpose.

I really enjoyed getting to know me pal Phil a little better, and I found a very engaged, intelligent and thoughtful man behind the Laconic brand, and I think you'll find Phil a worthwhile man to connect with.

Justin C. Scott has been a pal since shortly after I joined Twitter.

He's also one of the few people I recorded and impression of, and it has been one of the most popular I've done.

Justin is an easy dude to befriend. He's relentlessly positive, and constantly offering up insights into how to shift the flows of energy of the layers beneath the surface. There's a very cathartic energy that comes from Justin's videos and thoughts, and it's a gift that is rare at any age but especially for a man in his twenties.

Some people seem to be fountains of wisdom from birth, and Justin is one such. It was a pleasure to have a conversation with him, and we dive into a rich conversation that travels the roads of the subconscious, the spirit, the creative aspects of our nature while we synthesize what we can into concepts and practices that can enhance your connection and capacity to engage with the underlying energetic flows of existence in a more harmonious manner.

We get pretty far out there in this conversation, but there is an uncommon tendency for each of us to attempt to distill something concrete out of even the most ethereal and uncertain realms of thought, as we adventure through this metaphysical call and response. There's a whole world of thoughts to explore based upon this conversation, and I doubt that there is anyone who would not be better for having done so.

Let us blow your mind out into deep space, and then try to guide you back.

Matt Stephens is a strong man. 

Not just in the physical sense, but in his bearing, in his very demeanor. His passion for life is evident in nearly every sentence he uttered during our conversation. There were several times where it seemed as though he had to consciously keep himself from bursting out of his seat and bellowing out the message. 

One of the reasons I reached out to Matt to bring him on the podcast is the transformation story that is central to the narrative he presents to the world. Where once stood an out of shape, and unhealthy man now stands a man who is lean and yoked up like an ox. The startling metamorphosis did not just occur in the physical realm, but in his mentality.

We dive in to the mental aspect of becoming more tomorrow than you are today, and deliver a lot of thoughts and ideas that will be beneficial for you to content with. We also wade into the waters of the spirit, and converse a bit on the nature of reality and the manner in which we interface with it, and what that interface might mean about the source and the direction of existence. 

We also talk about how badass the band Tool is, and how we both listen to them while doing squats. Then I do a pretty lame job of trying to make the divergence a relevant thread in the larger tapestry of the conversation.

All in all, this was a great conversation, and Matt showed that his intellect is swole as his physique.
