The podcast is HERE. Listen to the first four episodes now!


My first episodes are now live!


HERE IT IS! The official launch of the This Plus That podcast!

Four episodes to begin, in total.

I start with a deeply personal behind-the-scenes on why this project matters to me—no interviewees; just me and a mic, unscripted—and then follow it with my first three guests.

I could tell you all the things I'm feeling right now, but I'd rather you hear most of that in the first episode.

SO! Would you be up for doing a few things to help me spread the word today? —

  1. ​Listen to the first four episodes on any of your favorite podcast platforms now!
  2. Please SHARE MY NEW VIDEO TRAILER on social media today (Twitter and Instagram)! It's nearly the same audio as the show trailer, but makes this whole thing feel so official, I can't even believe it. A lifetime of thanks to everyone behind KAB Agency. Sharing it with your friends would mean the world.
  3. Rate and Review the show on Apple Podcasts. Every single one of these matters a TON for a new show.
  4. And, if you haven't yet, "Follow" the show. Just pick your favorite app and "subscribe," wherever that might be.


Here are links to each of the individual launch episodes (keep scrolling so you don't miss my fun news on upcoming shows below, too):

Fractals + Free Will with Abrah Dresdale and Adam Brock "What is the biggest, brightest future we can imagine using our free will?" You might have heard of the term "biomimicry," a practice of applying what we observe in the natural world to human design challenges. Maybe you even know of "permaculture," a practice of taking what we see in nature and applying it to our design systems—most often in gardening and agriculture. But have you ever thought about taking concepts from nature and...

Have you listened to the podcast yet? If you have and you enjoyed it, would you do me the *generous* favor of opening it in Apple Podcasts on your phone, giving it 5 stars, and even writing a quick review? It would be so helpful to me! Thanks, friends :) Oh, & I did an audio recording of this essay again. Go here if you'd rather listen than read.

Quantum Logic + Exclusive Truth with Lincoln Carr "Science involves humility. It involves the idea that the data is sacred and that our interpretation can evolve at any moment." When I think of Lincoln Carr, I think of the word liminal. Google tells me it means "occupying a position at, or on both sides of, a boundary or threshold." Lincoln is a liminal person: a quantum physicist and a poet in the same breath. But when I think of Lincoln's "liminality," I think more about dreaming—the space...
