Uncommon with Chance Lunceford

Andrew Laird, or Drew as his friends call him, is a treasure of a human being.

I am constantly awed by people like Drew. We all get caught up in the day-to-day travails and frustrations of our lives, and it can be difficult to take yourself out of your own frame to gain some perspective on just how lucky you really are. 

It's not that hard when you talk to someone who's battling leukemia. If he were to be wasting away, feeling little hope, and letting the illness get the better of his mind, few would blame him. It's a very daunting and uncertain situation to be in, and to be certain, Drew has been in those places. But that is not what makes him remarkable.

What makes Drew remarkable is the fact that instead of doing what would seem so natural to do, he has instead dedicated himself to turning his illness into an opportunity to bring positivity and perspective into as many lives as he can. He's a physical beast, still going to the gym all the time. He has a YouTube channel dedicated to sharing his moves in the gym, and to educating others about how to do the same, and to sharing his perspective and progress while doing battle with leukemia. 

He also works in the mental health profession, helping others to gain a more useful mental frame from which to operate in the world and overcome their own mental hurdles. The best counselors, I have found, are the ones who've actually lived something that takes deep work and long-suffering struggle to overcome, and that's just what Drew brings to the table.

This was a shorter podcast. Me pal Drew had an afternoon with his family, and I wanted to respect his time, so we kept it pretty short. But, that doesn't mean we didn't get into some very important topics and the like, nor that there isn't a wealth of ideas for you to consider. 

There is. 

We talk dealing with darkness, service as an answer to suffering, faith, family and more in another heartfelt episode of the podcast.

Ready?

Go.

Joseph Smith was a great dude to talk with.

For whatever reason, his presence caused me to open up my heart, and he did the same. We had a very genuine and open conversation about God, the process and practice of prayer, my typical heretical musings on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, dark pasts and bright futures, gardening, hunting, responsibility and more

Ol' Joe is very easy to talk to, and you can tell just by listening to him that he's got good intentions in his heart. I was glad to have the opportunity to sit down with the man and get to know him a bit better. There's no guile in him during this conversation, and I appreciated that throughout.

Joe Vrola was a surprising guest. 

One of the reason is that, to be frank, I knew little about the man before we had our conversation. Basically, I knew he is a filmmaker and leans conservative in his politics, and that he reached out to me with an interest in coming on the podcast. 

So, when this conversation went so deep into areas of the heart and soul, it was far from expected. You folks know by now, if you've been listening, that I like to help my guest share from their heart, and Joe opened his right up.

We discussed his movie, we then transitioned into a political foundations, and then veered into counseling, addiction, obsession, God and religion, AA and all kinds of other things.

This was a special conversation with a man who's only now beginning to emerge onto the social media scene because he's created something he's proud of. It was a pleasure getting to know Joe, and I'm happy to offer you the chance to do the same.

Hunter Drew will not be unfamiliar to many of my listeners, but for those who don't know him yet, you're in for a treat. 

It was very easy to talk to Hunter, and he wears his heart on his sleeve, which is why it's so easy to see that he's got a great heart underneath all that beard. 

We talked responsibility, friendship, removing poison from your life, and a wide array of other subjects. It was, as Hunter puts it, "a farmer's market" of useful ideas and concepts mixed in with plenty of real life and real talk (I wish you really would burn my clothes). This kind of free-flowing but impactful conversation is what the Logocentrifugal Podcast is all about.

Tune in and enjoy the ramblings of a madman, and Hunter Drew.

Will Wilson is a dude I connected with on Twitter due to our mutual friend Garrett "Ginger Hitler" Dailey, and I'm glad we did.

Twice Will is a young dude, but he's got a good head on his shoulders and has a number of things going for him that most do not, especially at such a young age.

We talk business, philosophy, politics, capitalism, and more in this very conversational podcast. One thing that struck me about Will's approach is his willingness to speak his mind combined with his willingness to clearly state that he might be wrong. This is a hard skill to develop for many, and to have it in your twenties is rare indeed.

I quite enjoyed my conversation with Twice Will, and I think you will too. Tune in and check out a man with a plan that's already underway.

J-Hotz, AKA Jordan Dixon-Hamilton, AKA Patriot J, AKA etc... is a young man with a very bright future. 

Between law school, making music, developing an online presence and multiple digital income streams, J has a lot going on, and he seems to be doing it with ease and style.

We talked about the nature of the law, narrative, pattern recognition, collectivism vs individualism and a lot more. For a dude not even in his mid-twenties, Jordan has an impressive depth of knowledge and a good sense of the world. 

In this conversation, I play the perplexed old man with occasional insights and J-Hotz plays the hip youngster well-versed in the modern means and methods. It was a good chance for me to understand the perspectives of the "Always Had Internet and 9/11"  crowd a little better, and I restrained myself from yelling at him to get off my lawn.

Tune in for a very insightful conversation with a very promising young man.
