Do we have a soul? If so, what is it? Is it God? Is it Awareness? Though I learned a lot recording this episode, I still don’t have a definition. But I think that’s because the Soul is beyond human comprehension. We simply don’t have the sensory hardware nor the…
Preview KEW Episode 33: Soul
My buddy Paul, whom I will interview as part of my upcoming Curiosity series, asked me recently what I though a ‘soul’ was. That planted the seed for this weeks’ episode. While I haven’t really thought about what a soul IS, exactly, I had some ideas about where to take…
FLASHBACK! Episode 13: Slavery
Slavery is a disgusting topic but I had to share my thoughts in this episode. Most of us think about the terrible movement of africans to the southern US that led to the civil war. But it turns out that slave labor is a critical part of many business models….
KEW Episode 32: Work/Life Balance
Have you ever felt like a slave to the 40 hour workweek? I know I never signed up for that, but I learned early on that to do the fun stuff I want to do I have to work for money to do it. Sure, I’ve had some hippie friends…

Nowadays though, we’re afraid of everything. Failure. Looking bad. Getting made fun of. Making mistakes….
KEW Episode 31: Parenting
As a parent this topic is always on my mind. Am I a good parent? What should I be doing with my kids? Are my kids alright? Parenting can kind of dominate your identify if you let it. Especially for primary caregivers. And if you’re not a parent, you had…
Preview KEW Episode 31: Parenting
Whether you have kids or not, you probably had some sort of guardians who raised you. Or at at least changed your diapers and fed you. Not everyone has kids, but you might one day; or at least have friends who do. These relationships we call ‘parent’ and ‘child’ can…
FLASHBACK! KEW Episode 11: Analysis Paralysis
The need to make the ‘correct’ decision in any situation can literally paralyze us into not making any decision at all. It could be ‘needing a minute’ at the restaurant because you can’t decide what to eat, or whether you should quit your job to pursue an acting career. Both…
