Who Are You? Have you ever asked yourself this question? Have you ever wondered about the ‘big things’? Do you believe Socrates was right when he said, ‘an unexamined life is not worth living?’. If this is you, read on. And please visit the rest of my posts, podcasts, and…

Preview KEW Episode 66: Clarity
To compensate for the complexity (and length) of last weeks’ Episode title (Episode 65) I am coming out small this week. Clarity. Simple enough, right? But is it? Do we ever really get clarity? Or, is clarity a regular part of our lives, or are we more often stuck in…
FLASHBACK! KEW Episode 48: Unlearning
Many KEW episodes and posts refer to things I learned in the past that maybe don’t help us any more, are outdated, or were simply wrong to begin with. From thinking Competition actually regulates our markets (Episode 6), wondering how Old Beliefs (Episode 9) hold us back, to the idea…
KEW Episode 65: How Do We Know if We Really Know What We Think We Know?
To some, this is a ridiculous question steeped in pointless naval gazing. To others, it’s a comedic take on people who ask the ‘big questions’. To others this is a reasonable assessment of what we want to understand. To me, it’s all three at the same time. And maybe that’s…
KEW Episode 64: The Forest for the Trees

KEW Curiosity Interview Series 9: Marcas Hemmila
Marcas Hemmila has lived a pretty full life. He was a leader in the military. He trained for the Mr. Universe competition series. He is/was a computer programmer in the fast paced IT world. And now, he aims to help us discover and ignite our lives. The thing that struck…
FLASHBACK! KEW Episode 34: Self
Many people try to define and argue about what a ‘self’ is, or even whether or not we have one. I’m not too worried about getting it right, but I do think it’s worthwhile to ponder the concept of self. Basically, it’s a ‘Who Am I’ question, or part of…
KEW Curiosity Series Interview 3: DJ Doran
I met DJ Doran when he reached out to interview me about my podcast. We hit it off rather quickly, and of course I had to have him on to discuss Curiosity. In fact, the whole Curiosity interview series was inspired by DJ! See, DJ told me my podcast made…
