Age… Is It Really Just a Number? | Aging, Purpose & Staying Curious

We hear it all the time: “Age is just a number.” But is it really? In Episode 43 of How Did We Get Here?, Jim takes a thoughtful and honest look at what getting older actually means — the things we can’t control, the things we can, and why the way we see ourselves may matter more than the number itself. Because maybe the real question isn’t: How old are we? Maybe it’s: Are we still growing? 🎙️ Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 💬 What do you think?

What If I’m Wrong? | Learned Behavior, Beliefs & Why We Think the Way We Do

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself: “What if I’m wrong?” Why do we believe the things we believe?  How much of who we are was actually chosen… and how much was learned?

What if some of the things we carry through life were accepted long before we ever questioned them? And what happens when we finally do? 🎙️ How Did We Get Here? — A podcast about the choices, cracks, and crossroads that shape us. 💬 What’s something you once believed that changed over time?
