Hosted by Spencer, Bryan, and Wayne, each episode blends honest conversation, personal stories, and thoughtful reflections on how we show up to ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.


Along the way, they’re joined by guests who bring their own inspiring — and sometimes heartbreaking — stories of resilience, loss, hope, and transformation. Their experiences open space for all of us to learn, reflect, and discover new ways of living with authenticity, purpose, and joy.

  • Finding Presence in Work You Didn't Choose
    Jun 3 2026

    It's 12:01 in the morning, and Wayne is back at the mic. The new job, the most structured of his life, doesn't leave much room for anything else, so this is the window we get.


    Two years and real money went into becoming a certified spiritual director. Then the economy had other plans... clients fell away, a financial hole opened, and the path he trained for led somewhere he never pictured. Tactile, repetitive work on a base, a long way from the monk's robe and the well of spirit. So the conversation turns to the question sitting underneath all of it. How do you stay present, mindful, and yourself inside work you didn't choose?


    Wayne talks flow state found in the mundane, breath matched to the turn of a screw, the teaching that there's no lotus without the mud, and what it takes to keep anxiety from running the board. Bryan and Spencer push on the rest... presence, purpose, and the thin line between mindfulness and avoidance.


    A conversation about surviving a hard season without losing the thread of who you are.

  • You Are Not Your Thoughts: Expression, AI, and the Lost Art of Perception
    May 27 2026

    Everyone's expressing. Everyone's broadcasting. Everyone's a creator now, and AI has made it easier than ever to put content into the world without ever pausing to ask whether it's worth saying.


    Bryan and Spencer set out to talk about both sides of the equation in this one... expression and perception, the two-way street of how we show up on social media and in real life. But Spencer's instinct as a broadcaster kept pulling the conversation back toward expression, which turned out to be the whole point. We default to the side we know.


    The harder practice, the one this episode lands on, is perception... noticing what's actually happening before we react, considering the validity of someone else's ground before we flame them, and recognizing that the thoughts running through our heads are not us.


    A conversation about the AI content explosion, the attention economy, mindfulness as a daily practice, and the two-word instruction Bryan has been giving his kids for years: be thoughtful and considerate.

  • What Do You Actually Want? Reinventing After Layoffs with Josh Damigo
    May 20 2026

    What do you actually want?


    It's the question Josh Damigo asks every coaching client, and a month after being let go from his own job, it's the one he's been asking himself.


    Josh is back in the studio as our resident expert in something he calls "fun-employment."


    He walks Spencer and Bryan through what his day looks like... meditation, journaling, two hours of reading, three job applications sent only to roles that fit, two coffee chats, and the gym at noon. It's not aspirational; this is his routine. The kind built when, as Josh puts it, "your full-time job is getting a full-time job."


    But the routine is the easy part. The harder conversation is the one underneath it. What do you want from the next chapter? What do you definitely not want? Why "it's better to be broke and joyful than miserable because you're chasing a job." And the warning that runs through the whole hour... motion only matters when it's pointed somewhere.


    A conversation for anyone navigating the in-between, and trying to answer the question honestly before they answer it under pressure.
