EP. 46 - Project Updates

They say that the eyes are the window to the soul. I think there is truth in that statement. To be truly vulnerable with someone is to be able to look them in the eye when talking to them. It is inviting someone into your soul. Them seeing through the looking glass, the looking glass of yourself. There is no being yourself, no true friends, without being able to look them in the eye while talking to them. Or, anyone for that matter. That is to say, there are no true friends, no being yourself, without offering up your soul. Being afraid of this reflects more about yourself than the world around you.Maybe this is some advice I need.Tell me about your friends: (608) - 856- 4955

The only thing preventing you from a meaningful life is your fear and lack of acceptance of this inevitable thing that we all must face. Accept this fact and you will no longer waste another minute. You will orient your life for YOU.They say you have two lives and the second one starts when you realize you only have one.Have you accepted death yet? Tell me about it: (608) - 856- 4955

I know I did.Tell me about your 2025: (608) - 856- 4955

I love Wyoming. I went horseback riding with a woman named Eileen to a ridge where we could see the Grand Tetons from a handful of miles away. That's the image for today's episode. I think about this moment a lot. It is probably the furthest I have ever been from our "modern" society. No cell service for hours, making connections with another human, connecting with nature, and just enjoying this once in a lifetime experience. But not in just the context of where I was, but life in general. How strange it is to be at that moment in time, at any point in time, for anyone that has the pleasure to exist and coexist on this planet. How strange it is that two people, one who sits most days in an office (myself) and one who spends her summer wrangling horses on beautiful pastures (Eileen), can share a moment like this. How strange it is that these grand mountains, existing for whatever reason beyond myself, captivate me and stand so tall. How strange it is that this beautiful creature enjoys taking me for a stroll on its back. How strange it is that this is how our ancestors lived normal daily life. How strange it is that everything seems so interconnected. How strange it is that any of this exists at all. How strange it is to be anything at all. Tell me about your strange life: (608) - 856- 4955

Please remember, you have two lives. The second one starts when you fully realize you only have one. Remind yourself of this fact every single day. The time is now to be true to yourself and your desires. Now is the time to act on what you always wanted to do. It only has to make sense to you. Take control of your life. You only have two. Dream up a good life.Have you realized your second life? Tell me here: (608) - 856- 4955

As I have gotten older I have been trying my best to identify my fears and what it is I am truly afraid of. Am I actually afraid of the thing itself, or some deeper item allusive due to my lack of acknowledgement? Am I afraid of my pride being hurt? Am I afraid to challenge my values? Am I afraid to prioritize myself? Am I afraid of being wrong? Am I afraid to be honest about what I want instead of what others want? Am I afraid I might like it? Am I afraid of how others might perceive me? Am I afraid of embarrassment? Am I afraid of leaving comfort? Am I afraid it won't work out? Breaking my fears down in this manner has helped me not to be afraid at all. It's all so trivial to the ultimate goal of living this life.Tell me what you are afraid of: (608) - 856- 4955At The Beep

Yesterday, I was going through some photo albums with my girlfriend and also, my dad sent me some pictures of us from when I was college. It all got me thinking about my teenage years and the little troublemaking and fun times I had growing up. Smoking weed without my parents knowing, TP'ing friends' houses, trespassing random abandoned buildings, etc etc. You know, those things, I would hope, that connect us all in those years of pushing the boundaries and finding out what it means to be human all while being a kid. It's all so bittersweet. Now, I'm an adult and realize that time was so quick and so taken for granted. All of these stories aren't so much fun while being an adult. Responsibility and the expectation of no longer being a kid prevent you from pushing boundaries and having a bit of fun. Being an adult has its pros and cons. One of the cons being this.Hit me up and reflect about those fun teenage stories, I would love to hear it: (608) - 856- 4955At The Beep

What are you doing? Why aren't you doing *that*? You know, the idea that revisits you often. The thing you know will work, or set your soul free, or make you feel accomplished for once in your life. What's holding you back? Your fear? Your embarrassment? Your sense of perfection? You know, the things that matter way less than the feeling of actually doing it. It's okay to not be great at it, I promise. It's okay to be a little cringe, I promise. It's okay to be afraid, I promise. The worst thing you can do is be at the point of reflection upon your life and wonder why you never acted on that idea that visits you often. Do it. Before you die.Tell me about what you want to do before you die: (608) - 856- 4955At The Beep

I read an article this week of a study that showed that half of internet traffic is fake now. Some sites, like Twitter, where 75% of its traffic is fake. In my opinion, this number is going to be 90% by the end of 2026. It seems more and more obvious that the dead internet is coming, or even here already.I want to make two things clear.1. Everything on this project will be made by human beings. FOREVER. No use of AI will ever be committed by this project.2. Fuck AIIf you hate AI, I would love to hear about it: (608) - 856- 4955At The Beep
