A Tribute

A Tribute

Today’s episode is a little different. I’ve been thinking about life, loss, and the strangeness that comes with grieving from afar. Two family members passed recently—one young, one old—and I’ve been trying to find the words. Other than goodbye. This is perhaps an attempt to honor lives lived. To remember the little things: the laughter and the sunlight in the stories left untold. Maybe it’s also a gentle reminder of how fragile and beautiful it is to be here at all. Thanks for being here.

Wishing I could Take it Back

Today is about regret. The kind that lingers in your body and replays in your mind. I unpack a recent conversation I wish I could undo, the desire to self-edit, and the struggle to let it go. This episode explores memory, forgiveness, and how moving—literally and emotionally—can create space to breathe again. Thanks for being here. This is joy, bro.

The Lost Keys

Feeling joy these days is complex. So we’re diving into it today. On my birthday, a man dropped his keys from a scooter and vanished down the street. I picked them up, but he was gone. What I felt for him lingered, and it led me somewhere deeper. This episode is about small things with big echoes. Personal and global. About the weight of the world, and the strange guilt of trying to feel joy in the middle of it all. I chat about the news, the grief, the noise, the brokenness—and how we might keep showing up anyway. With conversation. With community. With a smile that might change a stranger’s day. No clean answers, but maybe a little bit of hope. Thanks for being here. This is joy, bro. A podcast about movement—mostly what I learn through biking. Observations, musings, and more.

Point B is a Moving Target

It’s time for changes. In this episode, I reflect on the myth of “Point B”. That imagined moment where everything finally makes sense. I talk about the perceived journey toward it, and the illusion of arrival. You could call this the confession of an actor. Or the lamentation of one. Ultimately, today I’m chatting about ambition, restlessness, chasing validation, and trying to find joy now, without needing permission. Thanks for being here. This is joy, bro.

Sacroiliac Joints

A small pain becomes a sudden disruption—and a reminder. In this episode, I talk about SI joints (which I had never heard of until this week), the shock of not being able to walk, and what it means to cherish the most basic movements we take for granted. From diagnosis to reflection, this is a story about the quiet fear of losing your freedom… and the gratitude that follows. Thanks for being here.
