    Love Letter 3: To my Son's Future Self

    In this intimate Valentine’s Day episode, Brian shares a love letter to his son's future grown self. This reflection moves beyond sentiment and into responsibility, exploring what it means to create life in a world facing environmental and systemic challenges. Inspired in part by a moment from The Futur podcast, the episode reframes love as accountability and long-term thinking. Rather than offering advice, it offers hope. It speaks to strength without spectacle, care without ego, and the quiet courage required to build something better for future generations. This is love as legacy. episode links: Music Provided by ⁠⁠Epidemic Sounds⁠⁠. ⁠Aurora | Christoffer Moe Ditlevsen, Karoliina Gabel⁠

  2. Love Letter 2: To My Kin

    Love Letter 2: To My Kin

    In a culture that celebrates individual power, this Valentine’s Day episode pauses to honor something larger: community. Framed as a love letter to “my brothers and sisters,” this reflection explores the myth of self sufficiency and the reality of shared systems. From everyday neighbors to climate organizers and sustainability advocates, the episode highlights community as participation rather than performance. This is a recognition of those who carry collective responsibility, who continue showing up for people and planet, and who understand that progress is rarely solitary. Love, in this context, is not a feeling but a practice. episode links: Music Provided by ⁠⁠Epidemic Sounds⁠⁠ ⁠My First, My Last | Love beans

    Love Letter 1: To The Earth

    On a holiday meant to celebrate love, this special episode of SomethingBigger turns that attention toward the one relationship that makes all others possible: our relationship with the planet. In this reflective love letter to Mother Earth, Brian explores stewardship as an act of reverence rather than reaction. Moving beyond doom-driven climate narratives, the episode reframes sustainability as attention, intention, and long-term care. It acknowledges the tension between progress and consequence, gratitude and accountability. Rather than positioning the planet as a resource to manage, this episode invites listeners to see Earth as a relationship worth celebrating, protecting, and loving. It is both a proclamation and a promise. Episode Links: Music Provided by ⁠Epidemic Sounds⁠ Before the Sky Falls | Stefan Ekström

  4. Designing Continuity

    Designing Continuity

    Sustainability isn’t a single decision — it’s a commitment over time. Recorded inside Industry City’s Food Hall, Designing Continuity serves as a reflective close to the Design-focused arc of the podcast. The episode weaves together insights from previous episodes — sustainability, behavior, identity, destiny, direction, clarity, and heroism — to examine what it actually takes to carry values forward. Using Industry City as a living example of adaptive reuse and long-term thinking, Brian explores continuity as a design mindset: building systems, stories, and practices that can withstand change rather than chase trends. This episode marks a transition point for the podcast — moving from “designing” frameworks toward deeper mindset work and upcoming interview conversations — while reinforcing one core truth: lasting impact comes from what we choose to sustain, not just what we start. episode links: Music Provided by ⁠Epidemic Sounds⁠. 8 Bit Hop | Ash Sculptures La Clave | Nico Rengifo Brainfreeze | Mizlo IYKYK | Janset

  5. Designing Heroism

    Designing Heroism

    What does heroism actually look like in the real world? In this thought piece, Brian records from the steps of Borough Hall in Downtown Brooklyn — a place defined not by symbolism, but by consequence. Rather than focusing on mythical heroics, the episode explores heroism as responsibility: showing up inside systems, making choices that affect others, and carrying the weight of continuity even when no one is watching. Drawing from New York’s civic energy, superhero mythology, and the ethos behind bggr cr8v, Designing Heroismconnects empowerment, storytelling, and sustainability. It challenges the idea that heroism is reserved for moments of crisis and instead positions it as a daily practice rooted in care, accountability, and participation. The episode closes with a reflection on how feeling empowered — not doomed — is essential to meaningful change, and how adopting a heroic mindset can help shift sustainability from despair toward agency.

  6. Designing Origins

    20 JANV.

    Designing Origins

    Recorded at the New York Public Library near Bryant Park, Designing Origins explores the deeper meaning behind origin stories—and why they matter far beyond comic books. In this thought piece, Brian reflects on superhero mythos, New York City’s cultural energy, and the power of heritage in shaping identity. Inspired by bringing his son to ¡Wepa!, a comic book journey through Puerto Rican illustrators, the episode examines how representation, place, and storytelling influence who we believe we’re allowed to become. Rather than treating origin stories as fantasy, this episode reframes them as cultural infrastructure—stories that grant permission, transmit values, and expand possibility across generations. From libraries and parks to comics and family, Designing Origins invites listeners to consider the stories they inherited, the ones they never saw, and the ones they’re now responsible for carrying forward. This episode is for anyone interested in storytelling, identity, culture, and the power of seeing yourself reflected in the myth. Episode Links: ⁠New York Public Library: WEPA!

  7. Designing Clarity

    16 JANV.

    Designing Clarity

    This episode of SomethingBigger is a quieter, more personal reflection on mental clarity and what it takes to build it intentionally. Recorded at 300 Ashland Plaza in Downtown Brooklyn, Designing Clarity explores what happens when the ground beneath your life no longer feels stable—and how slowing down becomes necessary before responsible decisions can be made. Brian shares openly about beginning therapy for the first time, the emotional weight of holding multiple roles at once, and how clarity isn’t something you arrive at fully formed, but something you build gradually through space, reflection, and support. Rather than offering quick fixes or polished takeaways, this episode focuses on orientation: learning to separate reaction from response, responsibility from self-blame, and noise from truth. It’s an honest look at how clarity makes solutions easier to discover—not because life becomes simpler, but because perception becomes steadier. This episode is for anyone moving through change quietly, trying to see clearly before taking the next step.

  8. Designing Direction

    13 JANV.

    Designing Direction

    Happy New Year.We’re back in 2026 with our first episode of the year. Recorded while walking through Central Park, this episode of SomethingBigger is a quiet reset after the noise and pressure that often comes with January. Instead of rushing into goals or resolutions, Designing Direction explores how to start the year by choosing orientation over control. Central Park—one of the most intentionally designed spaces in New York City—becomes the backdrop for a conversation about movement, flexibility, and sustainable progress. The episode reflects on why direction matters more than certainty, how time works best when it guides rather than traps, and why long-term change begins with alignment instead of intensity. This episode is an invitation to slow down just enough to aim—before accelerating into the year ahead. This marks the first episode of 2026, with six episodes now available, exploring design, agency, sustainability, storytelling, and how we live inside the systems we create.
