The Unfounded Podcast is a free flowing stream of ideas centered on asking the questions we often avoid. The focus is to bring the religious and secular world views into alignment through analyzing the philosophies developed by those who have come before us. The show is highly spiritual in nature, and leverages the practicality often hidden within religious teachings to provide actionable steps through which individual growth and expression can manifest. The classical liberal idea of self expression is a main focus, demanding the listener to practice radical honesty within their spheres of influence in order to discover their individual purpose and the meaning that stems from it.
