Revelizations

Revelizations

Revelizations is a podcast where I sit down with interesting people about interesting topics and have interesting conversations. Sound interesting? The topics will be eclectic, big and small such as finding joy, different philosophies about the origins of the universe, for profit prisons, math why it’s cool and how it helps unlock the mysteries of the universe, different models of educating a population, how to have difficult conversations whether you are offering consolation or having a conversation to establish good faith, artificial intelligence, the effects of social media on culture, nutrition, cognitive biases in decision making, and so much more. The only limiting factor is our own curiosity. Oh, and occasionally I will have episodes where I offer my own insight, Revelizations, about truths that I have found to be profound and worth sharing. Thanks for joining me and I look forward to our journey to understanding the world around us just a little bit better.

    Revelizations 12 - Good News, Whether You Want to Hear It or Not

    Today I want to share a few positive stories. Stories that I would have otherwise never have known about if I didn't go out of my way to seek them out. Since they made my day slightly brighter, I'd like to share them with you in hopes they do the same for you.   Announcement My wife and I will be moving sometime in the near future. Could be next month, could be in 3 months. As such, priorities are going to be shifting a little to start preparing and packing for the move. So, I wanted to let you know that the frequency of upcoming Revelization episodes may be a bit irregular until we are moved and settled into our new place. Once that happens, I'll get back into the rhythm of releasing an episode every other week. Thanks for your understanding and patience.   Enjoying Revelizations and don't know what to do next?
