    New Years New Possibilities

    Kris Tyte and Sean Snodgrass venture into the world of resolutions in today’s deep and reflective episode. They tackle questions like: Why is it so hard? Why do we fail so often? The answer may come as a surprise to most but could it be that failure is the point? Some may find new years resolutions as corny or pointless but when it comes down to habits, addiction, personal agency, and a regain of control …it might have more impact then you think. ✅ Let’s Keep the Conversation Going!

    Gaming I - Rolling into Reality

    What do ancient dice, anti-tobacco board games, and the U.S. financial system all have in common? They're all systems: rule frameworks that quietly shape how we think, act, and move through the world. In this premiere episode, hosts Kris Tyte and Sean Snodgrass sit down with the brilliant and endlessly entertaining Shaday Agosto-Vázquez, a mind-bending board game collector with a library of over 500 games. Together, they explore the hidden “game” built into our society: the mechanics, the incentives, the ways we learn to lie, follow rules, or break them, and navigate the systems we never agreed to play. Join us for playful and insightful banter on how games mirror reality, and how understanding them can help you win the biggest game of all: life itself. ✅ Let’s Keep the Conversation Going!
