Thoughts on life and authenticity
I am the worst podcaster ever. Diane and I have recorded 6 podcasts since I last updated my podcast page, and I haven't let you all know! WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING TO IN THE ABSENCE OF OUR MELODIOUS GABBING. Your poor, starving ears. So if you're looking for some more explorations about philosophy, theory,… Continue reading Still gabbin’, still podcastin’
Yesterday it occurred to me that free-market capitalism requires the consumer to be the only ethical player in a rigged, marginalizing system. (I know, dear leftist friends, I'm late to the table again.) Free-market capitalism, with its mantra that "the market will work it out", requires the consumer to play watchdog over companies and corporations,… Continue reading Ethics and power in the markeplace
Paradise. GRADUATE SCHOOL ALMOST KILLED ME BUT I SURVIVED. Whoosh, that was a stressful couple of weeks. Two of my first real graduate philosophy papers coming due (my Purdue papers didn't count because they hardcore sucked) and a big trip to California and Colorado for work collided into a stressful last couple of weeks. But… Continue reading At the moment 6.8.18
Episode 2, on Anxiety/Peace, is out! Check it out on our website or wherever you get your podcasts for maximum listening and theorizing enjoyment.
As I dragged my tired butt out of bed at 5am this morning to get in a 30-minute sweat-fest before work, I realized how long it's been since I was in a workout groove. I haven't worked out consistently in months, which is a huge aberration from my norm. I love working out. It makes… Continue reading When self-care sucks
Well, last night I experienced quite the emotional rollercoaster. Without going into too many uninteresting details, I turned in a small assignment for a philosophy class and thought I got a negative or dismissive response to my work from the professor. While I had felt good about what I submitted, even starting to feel like… Continue reading Realizing and tackling my knee-jerk self-doubt
It's finally here! Our little passion project has officially come to life. After publishing my book, I was considering starting a podcast to explore the themes of authenticity in a more dynamic and informal way. The topic of authenticity is so broad and so rich, and I felt like, even after writing almost 300 pages… Continue reading A podcast baby is born!
I've been thinking a lot about mediocrity. Partly, this is because I'm finding myself to be firmly located in the middle portion of the bell curve regarding something for which achieving excellence would mean a great deal to me. Turns out, my perfectionist nature does not take well to mediocrity. (Who saw that coming?!) If… Continue reading In praise of mediocrity
I recently changed phones and even though technology is amazing and the transfer of data was surprisingly effective (maybe TOO effective... #googleisalwayswatching), my Doggcatcher podcast app and my podcast streams did not survive the switch. I got to spend a delightful few minutes re-subscribing to my favorite podcasts, and thought I would add a list… Continue reading My favorite podcasts for the thinking life
For the past two years, I have been dreaming about making this broth. I don't write "dreaming" lightly. I mean seriously. LOOK AT IT. Photo by Tuukka Koski for epicurious.com. Food Styling: Alison Attenborough. Prop styling: Kalen Kaminski. I saw this recipe on Pinterest over two years ago and have been saving my parmesan rinds ever… Continue reading Broth, two years in the making
