This was a powerful episode. Vanessa's mother had recently passed away, and I reached out to her a day before the show was due to be recorded to offer my condolences and to ask if she wanted to reschedule her appearance on the show. Vanessa still wanted to appear, and so we went ahead with the show. We didn't focus on that in the episode, but we did briefly talk about it and Vanessa did mention her mother throughout the episode through the memories she had, and other experien

I've thoroughly enjoyed diving back into the past with this series. It's a nice blend of old and new, and I like how it differs and feels different from The Christian Reeve Podcast. The high school memories episodes were fun, but reflecting on primary school made me feel quite lucky and grateful that I'd had a pretty positive and fun time there. Whilst telling stories on this episode, other memories I'd forgotten about sprung to mind, and that's always a great aspect of story

I get the absolute privilege to meet inspiring, wonderful people all the time on this podcast, and this episode was a great example of that. Vanessa is the managing director at 'Are You Happy?' a brand that gets people to travel around the world and ask people about happiness and life. I'd previously appeared on Vanessa's podcast - the 'Are You Happy? Podcast', and we'd had a great conversation, so when she reached out to me about appearing on my show, I figured it'd be a goo

I guess this is a podcast? Or a show? I'm not really sure what it is, but I have been approaching it exactly the same way I would with the podcast. At the end of last year, I invested in graphics for the show, and I was waiting for a while to receive them. I wanted to wait until they were complete so that I could give this show the branding that it deserves, and to actually promote it properly, which in turn might help me to grow my Patreon. The series will always remain excl

Aidan is 18 years of age, but he is wise beyond his years. He reached out to me about a year ago, but he was 17, and I have a rule that I only have people aged 18+ on the show (for safeguarding purposes). So at that time, I declined his request to appear on the show, but I told him if he wanted to appear on the show in the future, he would be welcome. Sure enough, a year later he reached out and was still eager to appear on the show. I knew Aidan was a budding musician, but w

What an incredible conversation this was! I had only come across AI art recently, but have since seen my TikTok and Instagram feeds become completely filled with AI art depicting various scenarios, reimaginations, and much more. The question of whether or not AI art is art is perhaps just as controversial and difficult as the question of whether something is art in general. It's always going to be subjective, however, the introduction of AI art brings us many questions. Who o

What a new year's it was... While others were celebrating, so was I, but it all went wrong quickly. I've spoken about it a lot on live streams, and I'm moving on from it now, but I will say here that this was perhaps the lowest point of my life - rock bottom. It was the culmination of several months of work, bad habits, and the inability to care for oneself properly. I thought about not addressing it, about trying to forget that it happened, but that's not how life works. I o
