The Conversationalist

Jason Thornton

The Conversationalist is a podcast built on raw, honest conversations and real-life stories. Through personal experiences, struggles, wins, and lessons — we explore growth, faith, success, fear, and all the moments in between that shape us. As an adoptee who spent years searching for identity & purpose, I built this show to foster honest dialogue & real connection in a world starving for both—reminding you that no matter your story, you’re never alone.

    escapism

    the ways we distract ourselves to avoid facing our emotions, responsibilities, and inner struggles. From social media and partying to overworking and mindless scrolling, today I explore why we escape, the hidden costs of avoiding reality, and how to break free. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of distractions, this conversation is for you.

    starting from the middle

    In this first episode of The Conversationalist, I’m sitting down with the mic to give you a real, unfiltered look at where life’s at right now — the highs, the lows, the lessons, and the in-between. This isn’t a polished highlight reel, just an honest start to what I hope becomes a space for real conversations about life, faith, growth, and figuring it all out together. Whether you’re here for the stories, the insights, or just to feel a little less alone, welcome — let’s start the conversation.

    i'm so adopted.

    as i mention early on in this episode, oh man is it a task to come up with new things to talk about every week when you don't have a guest lined up. nonetheless, i decided to talk about none other than what i know everything about, myself. this ep really just takes a deep dive into something that i've always brushed off to the side and kept internalized throughout my earlier years, but now it has become a critical component of who i am today; my view of life through the lens of being an adopted individual. in this 1.5 hour long discussion with myself, you'll be able to get a closer look into how i personally perceive what we call "life". cheers.

    a non-educated approach to life's unanswerable questions

    *disclaimer: The following episode is hosted by someone with absolutely zero formal education in philosophy, metaphysics, or any other big-word topics. In fact, the closest they've come to answering life's great mysteries is deciding what to order for takeout. So, if you're looking for wisdom, enlightenment, or anything remotely useful, you've come to the wrong place. But if you’re here for some laughs and wildly unqualified advice, well, buckle up and lower those expectations.* This week, in honor of season 3, I thought, 'Why not tackle some of life's toughest questions?—brought to you by you lovely listeners. Because who better to answer the unanswerable than someone totally unqualified? Strap in.
