We are the only creatures in the known universe that uses an indirect form of exchange." That's how Terrence Howard opens this conversation and for a podcast called Life Currency, it's the perfect place to start. The Oscar-nominated actor sits down with Bob Lozano for a wide-ranging conversation about currency as flow rather than debt, why he spent his early acting career believing "being the better liar was the way," the five generations who lived in his childhood home, and the geometry project he says he's building in the Rio Grande Valley. #TerrenceHoward #LifeCurrencyPodcast #RGV #Brownsville #Philosophy #Acting Life Currency sits down with Terrence Howard for the first celebrity episode of the show. Terrence opens on currency itself, that money is an indirect form of exchange, and "current" means flow, not accumulation. He talks about the garden where he does his thinking, what Deepak Chopra taught him about dissolving ego, and the turn in his career when he stopped performing and started telling the truth: "When I first came into acting, I thought that being the better liar was the way." He shares what may be the most revealing line he's ever said about himself โ "I feel like a fraud as an actor because I'm always doing an impersonation of Terrence Howard" and the memory of his great-great-grandmother's warped applesauce pan that still transports him every time he smells cinnamon. He and Bob also trade notes on the restaurant business through Terrence's wife, a chef whose sold restaurants still hold four-and-a-half stars twelve years later. 0:00 Cold Open: Currency as Indirect Exchange 3:11 Currency as Current โ Flow vs. Dollars 6:20 The Garden Where He Thinks 7:41 Deepak Chopra and Dissolving the Self 9:29 "I Thought Being the Better Liar Was the Way" 12:02 Seeing God in the People You Meet 19:07 Men, Women, and the Praying Mantis Marriage 24:31 Influences: Alan Watts, Walter Russell, Gibran, Coelho 30:10 Geometry, Hydrogen, and the Linchpin 34:56 "So It's a Drone?" โ The Linchpin Explained 40:28 On 432 Hz 44:30 His Wife the Chef & Bob on Kitchen Life 50:14 Cinnamon, Five Generations, and Memory 54:40 Neuroplasticity and Being the Outsider 1:01:20 Gifts and Closing Thoughts About Terrence Howard: Academy Award-nominated actor known for Hustle & Flow, Crash, Iron Man, and Empire.
