Act on Your Inklings
Yes it's been awhile but I'm still here. This pod is about just that. Living in the present moment and not regretting. While Elon Musk is alive pay attention. I missed out on AC/DC and Michael Jordan cause I wasn't paying attention. But I will watch the rockets launch and the brains getting implanted with chips.

The Artist
This is the walking pod. I'm doing the pod whenever I can and wherever and this time it's in back of a thrift store. I don't remember exactly what I was talking about here - I think I was in love with the weather and the landscape and the freedom of being an artist.

Do You Want to do the Hard Work?

Soft with a Purpose
Being soft is not bad. Being humble and grateful can be misconstrued as weakness. Carmen talks about his past and his experience on how he had to fake being tough to survive. He also acknowledges that he has had a hard time going with the flow. Carmen believes that those who make the flow go other directions are heroes. Being content is hard but it is important. Carmen wants to keep moving forward with some flows, being content with others but always growing and doing more. And remember this is from a comedian.
