Grinding to a Halt is a podcast that explores who people are, what they do, and how they find the balance in between. In every episode, I take a deep dive into the life, career, process, and motivations of my guests. From business leaders, writers, musicians, podcasters, and more, I want to know what drives them and how they hold onto their humanity when their name becomes a brand.

29: 10.8.95 (The Burden of Belief)

I have a tattoo on my wrist, it is a cross with the date 10.8.95 on it. That was the day I became a Christian. Behind my right ear, I have another tattoo. It is the date my son was born. That was the day my faith began to die. Find me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠IG⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠. If you want to help the show, please follow/rate/review on your podcatcher of choice.

24: No One Wants to Work Anymore

This generation is so lazy, right? RIGHT? Wrong. Every generation claims the one that comes after them is lazy and will never amount to anything. But what is the thing that they think they amounted to? Why should we strive to be like our parents and grandparents who hated their jobs and whose only goal was to retire? And who, if anyone, is at fault for this pattern? I mentioned Ed Zitron's show Better Offline in the episode, I highly recommend it and this episode in particular.

23: Kickstart My Art with Allie Goertz

This week I am joined by writer and musician Allie Goertz to talk about her new album Peeled Back, her Nine Inch Nails cover album, which is out today! We discuss the process of making the album, and her decision to use Kickstarter to realize her vision for the project fully, and we talk about intentionally creating an environment where people feel comfortable bringing their ideas to the table. In the outro, I talk about how this conversation has challenged me and my creative pursuits. I'm not saying I will launch a Kickstarter, but I am not, not saying it.
