This show explores topics like philosophy, creativity, diverse ways of living, and the pursuit of happiness.

This podcast is a canvas for my own inspiration to document the human experience with weaving together unique thoughts, ideas, and perspectives that I hope to be something we all can reflect on in the future.

31. The Man They Call Bundy | An Extended Interview with Alex Acree
Go watch "Who is the Man They Call Bundy?" Documentary! Out now on YouTube!
This is Round 2 on the Podcast for Alex Acree. I "disguised" this interview to get footage and commentary for the Documentary. Alex did not know my intentions- I think it went well. A lot has changed with Alex (Bundy) since our last conversation, and I am glad we were sober this time around. We talk about life updates, moving to Arizona, friendship, childhood inspiration, college days, and getting married. Enjoy.
Cheers!
