Dilettante Nomad

As I glide through Houston traffic I reflect on the changes I have made in my life to lead me to a 30+ pound weight loss expedition...and we listen to awesome music during the journey. #dontstopbelieving

B.C provides a passionate view on the spoiled culture of capitalism and powerful perspective of surrounding yourself with success. Don't become a product of your environment, but rather create an environment that produces.

B.C sits in Houston traffic and rambles about our current consciousness and dreams of a paradigm shift in our reality. Inspirational rants to achieve success by means of mind over matter.

Sean Darrow (The Bottom 5, BeMore)joins via phone from Queens, NY to discuss his first child that is days from entering this world. We reflect on parenting in the modern world, being leaders, fathers, facing fears and reminisce on a experience together that introduced us to Bright Eyes and the evolution of Conor Oberst.

I contemplate on the theory of time and why we should utilize it to the best of our ability right now. Motivational time management reflection.

Chilling on a Friday night after going to the Houston Rodeo I contemplate the new approach to the second Installment of the Nomad stories, interviews, music and views. A voyeuristic peak inside the mind of B.C...Suggestions are welcomed.

B.C speaks of the 2017 New Year and the possibilities that lay before us all.

Longtime friend and collaborator Timothy Pinecone of Machine Should Be joins via FaceTime from Brooklyn, NY and reminisces with me on our first podcast a decade ago; Russian Bathhouses, a made up form of currency in the Caribbean's, Brexit's aftermath and the invasion of Mexico and Belize by miniatures. Great music from Bobby Digital aka RZA, Ry Cooder and Ali Farka Toure, Blink 182 and Wyclef Jean.

A three part show; I begin talking to my 6 year old daughter about the recent surge in media coverage on the murdering of unarmed black men; then while (urban) hiking I have a realization about community and police, to a road trip to Dallas where I am going to speak to a Board Of Directors about a community event I organized in my neighborhood that allowed residents of the community and the Police that patrol to meet and get to know one another.

On a road trip from Houston to College Station to Dallas, Mr. Lalo and I discuss our own road trips, fast food spots, Donald Trump, John Wayne and Davey Crockett while we weave in and out of some great music. Lalo is a colleague and friend and will be a regular contributor.

I meet up with Gabriel (Nigerian born, Bronx raised, Dallas living) and Samuel (Nigerian born, London raised, Dallas living) for the celebration of American Independence in 2016 in Rosenburg, TX. This 4th of July conversation sways from Donald Trump to Student Loans in between firework explosions. This is a voyeuristic conversation captured with a mobil device.

In Houston I sit with Robert Wallace while we exchange light jabs over our beliefs on Flat Earth, Global Warming, Religion and all things Taboo. Robert, once a scientologist and an avid conversationalist; sit for the first installment of what may turn out to be reoccurring.

On a balcony in Orlando, Florida, Marc Clayton and I get nostalgic and listen to some great music influenced by Peyote and Crack. Marc is a career musician from Bonesugar to The Lazy Suns to a magnitude of other collaborated projects. In addition to that, he is also my older brother of 13 years my senior. We meet up in Florida after not seeing one another for about a half of decade.

I find myself in Orlando Florida after a short trip to Jacksonville and Cassadaga talking with my brother Jesse about a new project I am about to embark upon. While we struggle to see eye to eye, we knock down some liquor and kick it root down.
