Ian and Brendhan are just two regular guys from the Midwest who decided to turn their phone calls into a podcast. Using mindfulness as their guide, Ian and Brendhan travel across a spectrum of topics, centered around mindfulness, ranging from the outrageous, to the political, to the spiritual and everything in between. Outside of podcasting, Ian is a Personal Trainer/Philosopher and Brendhan is a Visual Artist. These different backgrounds make for engaging conversations that, we hope, bring you insight on how to allow yourself to simply be and live more consciously.

    Beer, Setting Goals, and The Creative Process (with Alan Shawgo)

    Wow, what an incredible reunion this has been! This episode is an extra special one as Alan Shawgo (@shawgostudios) has been a long time friend of ours for a while and even has his own podcast (To The West and Back) which you should definitely listen to as well! In this episode we catch up over discussions of where we find sacredness, making mistakes, the pros and cons of setting goals, the creative process and so much more. It was such a fun episode to do and long overdue, I hope you all enjoy. ❤️

    Improv, Meditation, Compliments, and Breath

    This episode was recorded on December 19th and the audio is a little wonky. Sometimes Brendhan's answers to Ian's statements happen before Ian makes the statement (Brendhan is not a mind-reader haha), but it makes for quite a funny listen and we thought this was a good episode to include it in this season nonetheless! We talk about a wide range of topics from the similarities between improv, meditation and dance, the nuances of "cancel-culture," learning how to take criticism and compliments, breathing and the joys of farting taught to us by the 14th Dalai Lama. It is quite the episode; we laugh, examine our selves, our thoughts and why we think the way we do. We hope you enjoy!

    Impermanence (feat. Joshua Solas)

    In this final episode of season 3 we end with a bang: An almost 2 hour long episode with the great Joshua Solas (@solasink_)!

Josh joins in the conversation at the 29:10 minute mark and we continue the conversation around impermanence and it's many manifestations from our personal lives to the general state of the world. Tune in!

    The Magic of Play and Being a Neo-Generalist (feat. Diana McCall)

    In this episode Ian and Brendhan are joined by another very special guest Diana McCall. Throughout this episode they discuss why being a generalist is important to them and the different roles they play and how they inform each other. Then they get into a great discussion about play,  how to cultivate moments of play into their lives and the links between play, vulnerability and curiosity. Overall it's a beautiful conversation full of insights on life.

    Letting Go (feat. Erick Monrrigo)

    In this episode Ian and Brendhan talk about letting go with special guest Erick Monrrigo. They discuss how letting go has manifested in their life and what letting go means to them. They discover together that letting go has a lot of iterations and discuss the ways letting go can be interpreted and (mis)interpreted. They also share some of their weaknesses and how letting go has helped them acknowledge those weaknesses and work through them, all in all it was an incredibly powerful conversation! PS. The audio gets a little funky and mixed up at the end (we’re not psychics I promise).
