"Modern Talk" solo episodes follows my story of chasing the new crazy American dream. I try to better myself while also searching for a balance of work & play in my hero's journey through the lens of an absurdist.Guest episodes get curious and I turn my philosophical questions around to them. I want to know how and why they got where they are now and also their thoughts & theories on life. We get as serious as "what happens when we die?" and as silly as "would you rather be trash or a trash can?"

Take a listen, make a friend

Listening to Modern Talk is good for many things, including (but not limited to): feeling like you’ve made friends, learning something about the way you think, engaging in more meaningful conversations with your real life friends, and finding out how great podcasts are. The conversations feel natural and free-flowing, but structured enough to keep the listener engaged. Well worth the listen!
