Better Ideas Podcast

This is Will and I catching up and letting the conversation go in every direction possible. It's an interesting one for sure.

What are the ways in which our beliefs have held us back from living up to our fullest potential? What could we gain from letting go of preconceived notions about truth? Im not sure we found the answer, but we had a great conversation about it.

Kyle Devlin is a great and very insightful teacher, who I learned a lot from during this conversation. We talk about how he started his fitness journey and how he stays on that path as difficult as that may be.

This is a solo episode about exercise and the effect that it has on the mind. I also read an essay that I wrote about my experience with anxiety relating to an injury.

Will and I decided not to plan anything and record an episode. We catch up, talk about a few current events, the Better Ideas Community, future plans, and just goof off for a bit.    patreon.com/betterideas

Josh and I had an enlightening conversation with Matt, about his life as an energy worker who helps people "get their life." It was an amazing conversation about everything from the nature of love, to healing our own suffering. But, we really only scratched the surface!

This past week, I found out that my good friend, Jake is into Minimalism. So, it only made sense that we sit down and have an awesome conversation about it. Thanks for the hangs, Jake!

This is just a fun solo episode about my 10 favorite podcasts. My hope is that you guys find something that you love, as I have in several of these. I'd also like to thank all of you for the oppurtunity to participate in the Best of Lawrence 2018! 

The Round Earther's Society is another awesome podcast that just happens to be local. The hosts, Zach and Jesse are super smart dudes, who will talk to you about pretty much anything. So, this conversation went in just about every direction! 

Will and I talk to a couple of really cool heathens about their worldview, technology, religio, civilization and why everyone needs to party in the woods. It was an eye opening conversation, to say the least.

This segment is a solo episode where I talk about my spirituality, and why I'm starting the Church of Whatever. The intro music was made by my good friend, Goldstead (Rex Hancock). Check out his music.

Jesse Duckworth is a local podcaster, writer, entrepreneur, and an intelligent political commentator who brings a lot of nuance to the conversation. We talk about his projects, and touch on some politics. If you enjoy this, check out his podcast, Round Earther's Society!

We are starting 2018 off with a bang. or Bam?... Bam Keith is definitely one of the most talented musicians and coolest dudes I've ever met. He has an incredible life story, filled with both tragedy and beauty, that is truly inspiring to hear. 

It's crazy for me to think that there are people who have been listening to this podcast regularly for an entire year. My only hope is that, within the past year, you have heard something of value. I hope that it inspired or taught you in some way. At the least, I hope you found some entertainment. I know I have. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed in making this small idea turn into something that I never knew it could. Cheers to 2017 everyone! Thanks for making it rad.

This week I'm airing Will and I's segment, Room For Nuance. We talk about the future of the podcast and Taboos. This is a conversation about why we should be talking about things that aren't always easy to talk about. But, maybe we just need to let go of some of our opinions?

Cameron DuPratte is one of the most introspective and "artsy" people I've been lucky enough to talk to. We get into everything from his creative endeavors, to how art generally relates to the world. 

Im so glad that I was able to catch these guys while they were in town! We talked about their tour, musical projects, and they played acoustic songs just for us. I also made videos and put them on youtube.

This Past Friday, Will and I got together and recorded a conversation that we thought was worth having.

I have a soft spot when it comes to talking about drums and childhood bands, so this episode was a blast! Jacob is a really great drummer, who recently started his own podcast called Just Hit It. Enjoy:)

This past weekend I caught up with a friend who has been busy traveling the country playing music with Earth Groans, while also maintaining a career as a full time filmmaker. So we had a lot to talk about!
