Beautiful Gray Sponge
My own gray sponge has been saturated and shaped by so many unique thinkers. This is a podcast where I share the stories of those minds, their words, other ideas, and more. From philosophers, poets, musicians, artists, scientists, and others, I invite listeners to learn a bit more about seekers from the past. Along the way, consider and share personal reflections, questions, and challenges. Together, our beautiful gray sponges coalesce and continue to grow too.
