Podcast Conversations
I don't have tidy answers to any of these. But I find the conversations worth having.
Selected appearances below.
These conversations come at the same territory from different directions — men's mental health, career transition, high sensitivity, grief, endurance, reinvention, and the experience of being in the middle of something you can't quite name yet. Some were recorded during a chapter of my life that looked more like a coaching business than it does now. I've kept them because the underlying questions still feel honest.

The Never Peak Project
