Hanging with Humans

Hanging with Humans

The H.W.H.P. is a interview series podcast dedicated to the souls trying to understand their humanity. Each week I sit down with interesting Humans from all walks of life. With the goal of bringing existential topics to light by asking deep, Thought-provoking questions in a non-scripted free-form conversation format. Everyone has a story to tell, but not everyone has a platform to tell it. H.W.H.P. has a goal set out in the hopes that the wanderlust will somehow lead our soul compass in the right direction to make a change in the world, however big or small that may be. We are dedicated to having a good time, as much as we are dedicated to helping Humans in need. Let’s hang with some Humans.
