The Kingdom of Doing E267 07/15/2026
Procrastination isn’t a gap, it’s what happens when our intentions don’t align with our actions. Let’s stop beating ourselves. It’s not that we are lazy. It’s not about that. It’s about, I guess, a fear or just waiting for this perfect moment that never actually comes.
Aging, Questions & Music E266 07/08/2026

Slowing Down the Tune E261 06/03/2026
That is exactly where I am right now. I want to make the moment last.
The Price of a Sunset E260 05/27/2026
That’s the part that stays with me. A sunset, which is free, is as beautiful from the deck of a yacht or from a bench at the beach. I also bet you that love would feel the same, and conversation will still fill their hearts in the same way.
