I'm not here to take anything away from you.

#45 Solo: Meeting a stranger in the woods Feb 08, 2021

On a cold winter day I was walking my dads dog in the woods near his house. The trees were magnificent, the sun was shining, Khloe was happy. Someone else was on the trail coming toward me, I've never seen a stranger on these trails before. As we met, I soon discovered we were meeting under opposite ends of our beliefs. How can one treat a stranger in such strange times in this context?

Do we seek to change?

Do we seek to understand before we seek to be understood?

How do we navigate these conversations?

#28 Taking an entire day off technology with Tiffany Shlain Sep 10, 2020

Could you do an entire 24 hours with no phone, tv or computer? What would be the benefits of this? What would you have to do to "prepare" to go a full day without access to technology? How would it make you feel closer and also make you feel more distant from people? We explore this topic with Tiffany Shlain, filmmaker, author and artist. Tiffany wrote 24/6: The Power of Unplugging One Day a Week and after reading it I knew I had to reach out. The book inspired me and motivated me to take one day off of technology every other week. We discuss how to do this and what the benefits are of letting your mind rest in this unique (and scary) way!
