You'd think that with all this talk in the world, someone would eventually say something that actually means something! On time, and on point, this show aims to do exactly that. Through solo commentary and conversations with carefully curated guests, we explore how to notice the deeper patterns that shape a meaningful life. This show is for listeners who tire of the superficial, and who sense that their lives, work, responsibilities and interests are not the product of random chance, but meaningful parts of a coherent whole moving toward clarity and purpose.

Honest speech requires the freedom to be wrong. In this episode, I reflect on students afraid to speak, a mob moment from my trumpet podcast days, and the difference between correction and public shaming. When decent peo
