Wise AI (New Book): Bonus Interview with Paul Matthews

The Money Dilemma: How to Truly Have Enough (S4 E8)

We’re told that a better life is found when we earn “just a bit more.” Yet the dilemma of money is that the more we have, the more we tend to want. When we pin our future happiness on financial independence, we drift into a cycle of dissatisfaction, overwork, and debt — always chasing, never quite arriving. In this episode of The Spacemakers, Daniel Sih and Matt Bain explore how our money mindsets shape our wellbeing, and why contentment has more to do with desire than income. They share practical ways to constrain our wants, appreciate what we already have, and practise enoughness — helping us experience a life that feels genuinely rich. This is Part 1 of a two-part episode. You can also explore previous seasons of The Spacemakers wherever you listen.

Stop Chasing Goals: Growth Happens in the Kairos Moments (S4 E7)

Goals can make us miserable. They promise happiness and fulfillment in the future, yet leave us restless, always chasing what’s next. In this episode, Daniel Sih and Matt Bain explore how to move toward a better future while staying grounded in the present. They unpack the idea of Kairos moments—those meaningful interruptions in time that offer direction and purpose when we pay attention. When we look for Kairos moments, we find a gentler way forward—one where presence matters more than progress, and enough is already here.

The Legacy Trap: Why You Don’t Need To Make A Dent In The Universe (S4 E6)

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to make an impact — but too often, our desire to leave a legacy can leave us exhausted and dissatisfied, chasing the wrong things, and neglecting those we truly love. In this episode of The Spacemakers, Daniel and Matt explore why we crave significance, how to do big things without tying our self-worth to our legacy, and what it really means to “leave a dent in the universe.” Because maybe our true legacy isn’t what we achieve, but who we become — and the people we love along the way.

The Freedom in Letting Go: A Modern Take on Attachment (S4 E5)

We all cling to something — success, approval, comfort, control. But the more we hold on, the more we suffer. In a world that tells us to want more, how do we loosen our grip and find rest in enough? In this episode, Daniel Sih and Matt Bain explore the concept of attachment — why we chase what we don’t have, how desire fuels discontent, and what it means to release unhealthy wants. Drawing on ancient wisdom and modern psychology, they unpack practical ways to find peace, freedom, and contentment in a culture of constant craving.
