The H.W.H.P. is a interview series podcast dedicated to the souls trying to understand their humanity. Each week I sit down with interesting Humans from all walks of life. With the goal of bringing existential topics to light by asking deep, Thought-provoking questions in a non-scripted free-form conversation format. Everyone has a story to tell, but not everyone has a platform to tell it. H.W.H.P. has a goal set out in the hopes that the wanderlust will somehow lead our soul compass in the right direction to make a change in the world, however big or small that may be. We are dedicated to having a good time, as much as we are dedicated to helping Humans in need. Let’s hang with some Humans.

    Hanging with Humans Podcast | Episode 30 | Bradley Richard

    Episode 30: "Man in the Mirror" Bradley Richard, 42 Williston, ND Recorded 12/30/2024 What do you do after you’ve already walked through fire? We close the season 2 with a conversation that’s equal parts confession and compass, sitting with Bradley as he traces a path from early rebellion and first heartbreak to a string of devastating losses that fed a brutal addiction—and the moment he chose to live. He talks about an intentional overdose, seven minutes gone, and the treatment-room wake-up call that shattered his assumptions about who addiction affects. Twenty-one years later, he’s still sober, and he’s honest about what that really takes. We go beyond sobriety and into mental health: how unguarded thoughts can undo progress, why vulnerability is a daily practice, and how “time equals love” reframed his role as a partner and father. Bradley shares the story he rarely tells—a daughter he didn’t know for two years, a preacher father who spent everything to find him, and the unbearable loss that followed just as recovery began. He also walks us through a home invasion in Seattle, a split-second self-defense decision, and the legal and emotional aftermath that could have sent him back to using. Instead, he doubled down on healing. Along the way, we talk parenting, family court, and the skills we owe our kids: independence, discernment, and the courage to leave harm. We unpack jealousy, betrayal, and the quiet ways fear of investment destroys connection. This is a raw, grounded look at recovery, grief, and accountability—built on friendship, the power of showing up, and the belief that presence is the only proof of love. If this conversation moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it. Your words can help others find the courage to keep going. I can't find the feeling that comes to mind when listening to this for the first time. But I will find the words for this one day.

    Hanging with Humans Podcast | Episode 24 | Loddie

    Episode 24: "Wordly things" Loddie, 29 Atlanta, Ga In this conversation with Loddie, we explore the winding path that led him from aspiring photographer to Atlanta's up-and-coming custom grill maker. He takes us through the pivotal moments that shaped his journey – from spending his last $400 on a Canon camera, which he used during his filming with Lil Baby. The conversation dives deep into the cultural contrasts Loddie experienced growing up between Atlanta's predominantly Black communities and being "the only two Black kids in school" in Frisco, Texas. These experiences didn't just shape his worldview; they equipped him with the versatility to connect with people from all backgrounds – a skill that's proven invaluable throughout his entrepreneurial journey. What stands out most is Loddie's powerful perspective on personal growth. From learning critical lessons through his brothers' life choices to embracing spiritual practices that transformed his approach to business and relationships, his evolution represents the beautiful intersection of craft, mindfulness, and authenticity. When he shares, "If you let yourself get caught up in worldly things, you won't escape the Matrix," you can feel the wisdom earned through genuine experience.  (Words that I will truly never forget, and will come back to) This episode is about recognizing opportunity in everyday encounters, finding purpose through craft, and the remarkable growth that happens when you remain open to life's unexpected paths.  Whether you're an aspiring creative, entrepreneur, or simply someone navigating your own path, Loddie's journey offers valuable insights on adaptability, authenticity, and the courage to follow your unique vision.

    Hanging with Humans Podcast | Episode 26 | Jason Wheeler

    Episode 26: “Modern Day Robin Hood” Jason Wheeler, 47 San Bernardino, CA • Green River, UT • Denver, CO • Pikes Peak, CO What started as casual conversation on a cross-country trip quickly revealed something bigger: two strangers headed to Los Angeles to visit their sisters and see Kendrick Lamar & SZA. That chance meeting turned into an unlikely friendship—and a story worth telling. Jason’s early life began in Indianapolis’ Haughville neighborhood, shadowed by family tragedy before he was even born. Despite earning multiple basketball scholarships, his energy gravitated toward hustling more than academics. After a run as a successful mortgage broker, he plunged into the “scam game”—a decision that would catch up with him later. At 40, Jason faced his first prison sentence. Six months in solitary confinement during COVID forced him into a brutal kind of introspection. As he puts it: “Prison is a young man’s sport.” That wake-up call shifted his focus to building something real. Today, Jason manages 42 Airbnb properties nationwide, with a goal of 100 by 2026. His philosophy—everything happens for a reason—drives both his business and his outlook on life. Part three of our conversation unfolded at 6am in Colorado, recording while searching for a runaway horse named Conway (after Conway the Machine).  From the streets of Cali to the quiet of Colorado, Jason’s journey is a testament to transformation, resilience, and the strange ways paths cross when you stay open.  Thank you Jason, for sparing time from your extremely busy life, to come slow down for a bit. & making the first flight out to my new spot. Thus becoming the first recurring guest on the podcast. Part 4/5 are still ahead.

    Hanging with Humans Podcast | Episode 29 | Alejandro Soto

    Episode 29: "How to Heal a Broken System" Alejandro Soto, 32 Pikes Peak, Co What started as a pre interview: became the podcast itself. From the streets of Sinaloa to the cells of Colorado's prison system, Alejandro's life story reads like a harrowing thriller – except every word is painfully true. Arriving in America at age 11 without knowing how to read or write in any language, he found himself navigating a school system that placed him in kindergarten classes as a pre-teen, setting the stage for years of misunderstanding and marginalization. The true nightmare began when, at just 16 years old, Alejandro was framed for attempted murder and thrown into adult county jail. Despite eventually being cleared when the actual perpetrator confessed, the justice system continued to punish him. Years later, a vindictive employer would orchestrate another setup, resulting in nine years of imprisonment on drug charges – even though court transcripts explicitly stated he was cleared. What elevates Alejandro's narrative beyond a tale of injustice is his remarkable spiritual transformation. Within prison walls, he educated himself, earned his GED, and began a profound journey of self-discovery. Cannabis emerged as his unexpected healing tool, helping him process trauma and eventually even enabling him to help family members overcome addiction and negative spiritual forces. Now focused on creating stability for his young son, Alejandro speaks with striking clarity about the distinction between opposing government systems and challenging those who govern unjustly. His insights into America's "mingle system" of justice – where cases are decided over coffee between judges and prosecutors rather than through evidence – offer a sobering look at institutional failures that continue to impact countless lives. Have you ever wondered what happens when the system gets it wrong? Alejandro's story will challenge everything you thought you knew about justice in America while demonstrating the extraordinary resilience of the human spirit when faced with seemingly insurmountable odds. If anyone is interested in taking his case, feel free to reach out. Thank you very much for lending me your time Alejandro. ------- I've been humbled by the last few conversations had. I learned a whole bunch. I hope we can all find it in us to try and understand, instead of judge. To always ask questions, and continue to seek answers. There is much more outside of those 4 walls. so just be kind. 3 You write your story. As season 3 crawls its way towards the end. With a few episodes left to go. Winter is coming, and I believe a short break is in on the horizon, then a whole revamp of many aspects of the podcast.

    Hanging with Humans Podcast | Episode 28 | Jeremiah Lowrie

    Episode 28: "The story of Jeremiah & Kimber" Jeremiah Lowrie, 44 Helena, Mt What happens when the systems designed to protect children fail? In this raw and unfiltered conversation, I welcome Jeremiah, a father locked in a years-long custody battle that exposes troubling flaws in our family court system. Jeremiah shares his journey as a dedicated father to eight-year-old Kimber, describing how he went from being the family's primary caregiver to fighting for the right to protect his daughter. The love between father and daughter radiates throughout their story—  Jeremiah recounts how his attempts to report alleged abuse led not to investigation, but to his own persecution. Through it all, Jeremiah maintains that the courts have never allowed him to speak his truth. The conversation explores how initial court filings create immediate advantages, how allegations can be weaponized, and how those without financial resources or legal knowledge are particularly vulnerable. The mental health toll becomes painfully evident as Jeremiah describes the support mechanisms that keep him functioning through this ordeal. His powerful closing advice to others facing similar battles—"Hold the line"—serves as both rallying cry and survival strategy. This episode isn't just one man's story; it's a window into how custody battles can devastate families and a call for greater accountability in a system where children's wellbeing should always come first. Listen, share, and join the conversation about how we can better protect our most vulnerable. Jeremiah wanted to dedicate this episode to Danielle Moore. https://www.ktvh.com/news/suspect-identified-in-downtown-helena-officer-involved-shooting Support the show Contact & Info: www.hangingwithhumans.com https://poplme.co/hash/P5oM9JFj/1/dash Support the Podcast: https://gofund.me/2a99e9b7 Video Podcast : https://www.YouTube.com/@hangingwithhumans https://rumble.com/c/c-2507620 Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/hangingwithhumans https://www.tiktok.com/@hangingwithhumans Thank you so much for taking the time out of your important life to listen, It means the world to me. #HangingWithHumans #Podcast #HWHP In honor of those who served our country.

    ** Pre-interview process ** | Thomas Egbert

    My Pre-Interview Process A day before—sometimes the day of—the podcast, I carve out several hours to sit with my guest in complete intimacy. No cameras, no microphones, just my notebook and two humans sharing a space. With nothing but curiosity and a pen, I guide my guest through their story, capturing the raw details that will become our roadmap. We explore the emotional landscape, identify the moments that changed everything, and uncover the universal truths hidden within their personal journey. Some of the most profound conversations of my life have emerged from these sessions. There's something sacred about this process to me—the trust a human places in me to handle their story with care, the vulnerability required to excavate painful memories, the honor of witnessing someone's truth unfold in real time. I'm endlessly grateful for the souls that let me capture their stories.  Decade-Long Fight for Freedom What happens when the system designed to protect us becomes the very thing that destroys us? Thomas Egbert was 21 years old—a certified mechanic with no criminal history and everything to live for—when he was sentenced to 20 years for a crime he didn't commit. While the actual shooter walked away with a six-year plea deal and surviving three. Thomas found himself facing two decades in maximum security hell. For seven brutal years, he navigated the razor's edge of a level-four prison yard. Racial riots. Daily violence. The systematic stripping away of hope. All while his young children grew up without their father. But Thomas refused to surrender. In the darkest corners of that concrete tomb, he found unlikely mentors—lifers who pointed him toward the prison law library with words that would change everything: "Nobody's going to get you out of here but yourself." For years, Thomas became his own lawyer, studying case law by day and dodging violence by night. Appeal after appeal, motion after motion, until finally—after serving over ten years for someone else's crime—his conviction was overturned. But perhaps the most remarkable twist was yet to come. While Thomas fought for his freedom, his first love discovered his name while working as a child support enforcement officer. She wrote. She waited. She believed. Today, they're building the life that was stolen from them. Have you ever wondered how someone survives losing everything unjustly and still finds the strength to rebuild?  Listen to this raw, unflinching journey through our broken justice system—and proof that even in our darkest moments, hope can find a way to survive.

    Hanging with Humans Podcast | Episode 27 | Thomas Egbert

    Episode 27: "Second Chances" Thomas Egbert, 55 Helena, MT What happens when your entire life is ripped away by a justice system that fails you? Tom's story offers a raw look at resilience in the face of catastrophic injustice. At just 21 years old, Tom watched his promising career as a lead auto technician crumble when he was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to 20 years in prison for a crime committed by someone else. Despite the shooter receiving only a six-year sentence (and serving just three), Tom faced the devastating reality that his life as he knew it was over. Knowing he was innocent, Tom made the difficult decision to fight his case. This is his story..  Behind prison walls, Tom navigated a brutal environment defined by racial segregation, violence, and a complete absence of rehabilitation. Yet in this darkness, he found unexpected mentorship from an Aryan Brotherhood member with legal expertise who gave him crucial advice: "Ain't nobody going to get you out of this shit but you." Taking this to heart, Tom taught himself the law, filing appeals and motions while working for mere cents per hour in the prison kitchen. The story takes a remarkable turn when Tom's childhood sweetheart discovers him through a letter crossing her desk at the child support enforcement office. After reading his case transcripts and recognizing the miscarriage of justice, she stands by him throughout his remaining sentence, becoming his anchor to the outside world. Tom's mechanical genius — becomes his salvation. From rebuilding a 1967 Camaro as a youth to his current work restoring vehicles and equipment, Tom's ability to fix broken things serves as both livelihood and metaphor for his own life journey. Now rebuilding his life day by day, Tom faces the ongoing challenge of employment discrimination due to his record, while fighting for stability and trying to create a meaningful future with his wife—whose family has disowned her for choosing to be with him. This is that for real love.3 Have you ever considered how easily your life could be derailed by a flawed system? Listen to Tom's powerful testimony of perseverance, and discover what it truly means to rebuild a life from the ground up. There was a moment in the conversation, when Tom is explaining what was going through his young fragile mind. When sitting in his cell waiting and preparing for violence to erupt as soon as his cell door opens.  I had chills running through me, as I listened to this story of a young man doing what had to be done in order to survive the next years of his adult life. After the conversation, Tom said to me.  “Rj.. I just want to let you know, I used to be involved in a different life that I am no longer a part of. I was institutionalized at a young age, I saw and did things I never thought I would.

    Hanging with Humans Podcast | Episode 25 | Quie

    Episode 25: "From the $hadows With Love" Quie Los Angeles, CA What defines real success in the music industry? Quie joins me from the Velvet Room in Los Angeles to share his remarkable journey from New Orleans to becoming an independent artist carving his own path. Quie opens up about his childhood in Louisiana, where gunshots were a nightly soundtrack. With a Trinidadian mother who instilled entrepreneurial values and a father who played drums alongside James Brown, music has  always been in his blood. When Hurricane Katrina forced his family to relocate, it became the first step in a series of life-changing moves that would eventually lead him to Los Angeles. The conversation takes us through pivotal moments that shaped Quie's perspective – from sleeping in his Wrangler after driving cross-country to chase his dreams, to studio sessions with A$AP Ferg, to the recent release of his EP "From The Shadows With Love." He shares how mentorship in the industry taught him to observe and learn, while also navigating the darker aspects of the business with integrity. What makes this episode particularly powerful is Quie's philosophy on personal growth. "If a fish is in a small bowl, it doesn't know about the ocean," he explains, emphasizing how travel and new experiences have expanded his worldview and created opportunities. His insights on authenticity, mental health, and defining success on his own terms will resonate with anyone pursuing their passion.
