Lusca - Diving into Deep Conversations - EP 47

Satan - Education vs. Learning

When a trip goes awry, something demonic emerges and convinces someone to make a fatal choice.. To celebrate the 50th episode(!) as well as mark the end of Season 1 of the Inner Monster Podcast, I take a look at Satan himself. I dive into both his etymological origins, as well as his role around tempting Eve in the Garden of Eden. This leads me to talking about knowledge and learning, and I dive into my issues with the current educational system as well as some ideas on how to make it better.

Frankenstein's Monster - Making Better Decisions - EP 49

I'm hiking through a foggy forest, when I encounter a patchwork creature that is very angry at humanity... We go literary this episode and dive into Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus, the origin for the pop culture icon of Frankenstein's Monster. I clear up some common misperceptions about Frankenstein, and then we dive into the decision that the good doctor makes that changes his life forever - reanimating a giant humanoid with secret science. We'll then dive into both the evaluation of decisions, as well as how to get better at making decisions.

Matau the Giant - Building Resilience Towards Failure and Rejection - EP 48

I find myself bruised and battered, in a place altogether unfamiliar to me. And then a shocking discovery is made... This week's episode explores the Maori mythology of Matau, a giant, kidnapping, supernatural jerk and the aftermath of his murder. This somehow turns into an exploration of resilience towards failure and rejection, and I dive into some practical tips on building more of it. Fun for the whole family!

Lusca - Diving into Deep Conversations - EP 47

I'm finally on vacation, when a scuba adventure goes horribly, horribly wrong... This episode we're diving into deep underwater holes to explore the Caribbean mythological dragon-octopus creature known as the Lusca. I then explore the need for deep conversations, and why they're sometimes to difficult to have. Finally, I'll leave you with some propelling questions to explore how you might create more connection in your life in a way that doesn't set you up for failure.

The Hydra (replay) - Art announcement edition - EP 46

In order to preserve any shreds of sanity I have left, I've recorded a bit of a new intro regarding why I'm taking a break from releasing a new episode this week, and also announcing my Friday the 13th art extravaganza [https://evilpin.club/friday-the-13th]. After the intro, dive back in (or discover for the first time) the Hydra and my take on sustainability. Fitting, I hope, for a bit of a break week.
