Matthew and I have formed a fledgling friendship here on Substack. This month, I’ll appear on his podcast, and he’ll be my first guest author in the twelve years since I started blogging. Fatherhood Dojo is about turning parenthood into a training ground for becoming more fully human.
I met Nancy while recording an episode for her Follow Your Curiosity podcast many years ago, shortly after the release of Loveable. She has become a regular on our Human Hour calls, and I consider her a co-conspirator in the creative journey, which is really the human journey of following your curiosity and learning to listen to your intuition.
Nooks is the independent bookstore Shawn just bought with his wife. I’ll be visiting it this month on our annual summer roadtrip to the beach. If you have the sneaking suspicion like I do that walking through a local bookstore and holding a paperback in your hands might've been the peak of human evolution, reading this Substack will bring you a bit of joy.
I have followed Kirsten since she was a hard-nosed pundit on CNN. Here on Substack, though, she is walking through her spiritual transformation, during which she has added an open heart to her hard nose. The result is a powerful combination of truth-telling about our culture and about being human.
Shawn is an author after my own heart, faithfully chasing the Muse, even though he's not quite sure where she’s leading him. His Substack reminds me that I'm delusional to look for peace in anything but the ordinary.
