If you’re like us… you were raised to believe the world was black and white.
To judge others if they breached your code of conduct
To expect them to be open to what you believe, but then be closed to what they believe.
You thought you had all of the answers, but life quickly taught you otherwise.
What if the world isn’t black & white?
What if the belief system you have never questioned is wrong?
That’s why we created the Figuring It Out podcast.
This show is for the seekers.
The explorers.
Those brave enough to question their step outside of their black and white belief systems, listen with an open mind, and create values that lead to a renewed sense of purpose and meaning.
Join your hosts as they sit across from the world’s leading thought leaders, visionaries, religious gurus, entrepreneurs, philosophers, and influencers to tackle life’s biggest questions and try to find meaning, purpose, and create values.
You don’t need all the answers to find meaning in life, but you should be free to ask all the questions.

Customer Reviews
Great types of different advice and ways to think minus the Scientology nut.
I have loved all your episodes so far except this Elena chick. Her yelling and belligerent comments about anything mainstream or non-Scientology friendly was nauseating. I think she is awful and the opposite of what having an open mind is. I listened to the entire episode trying to find something to like about it but OMG. I defiantly figured out I’d never be able to listen to her again. I feel bad for her children. Thanks for your show! I love your commentary.
Very helpful
Great advice and amazing interviews! I enjoy the humor as well
Hilarious & thought provoking
If what you believe is truth, surely it can endure some questioning…no matter where you land in various belief spectrums. I am thoroughly enjoying this podcast & the hilarious yet thought-provoking conversations happening on “Figuring it out”.
