10/26/23 • 86 min
Are you wondering whether it will ever be possible to combine not just two, not just three but many of your multiple interests? Then this Episode is for you!
Joel Burchard, this week's fast-brained guest, is a doctoral student in psychology, a multi-instrumentalist record producer, author, painter, Army veteran, business leader, and host of the philosophy podcast "From Nowhere to Nothing."
Now that's a crazy amount of things to balance out (in addition to being married) - so we talk about how he manages to successfully juggle all of the above.
We dig into the creative process, his musical journey, the concept of freedom, the meaning of life, why play is essential, and of course we talk a LOT of philosophy.
Main Learnings and Takeaways:
- Striving for perfection can be detrimental; instead, embrace your flaws.
- Moderation is key to avoiding burnout and maintaining a healthy balance in life.
- Trusting one's intuition is crucial in the creative process.
- Freedom in creativity comes from breaking free from societal expectations.
- Incorporating play into life fosters creativity, joy, and fulfilment.
- Reflecting on the meaning of life and confronting the fear of death can bring deeper understanding and purpose.
- Conscious decision-making is essential in finding meaning and purpose in life.

Episode 95 - Superconnecting through Lego with Dr. Kate Raynes-Goldie
Hey smart human, did you ever dream about what you wanted to be when you grew up?
If, like me, you did, then you probably restricted yourself in what was possible for you.
And I'm guessing didn't consider becoming a business & cultural anthropologist who has designed a connecting tool using the power of LEGO serious play... This is exactly the beauty of my guest on this week's podcast Episode: what Dr. Kate is doing and creating is WAY better than anything you could dream up ahead of time.
In this week's episode, Dr. Kate Raynes-Goldie discusses the importance of incorporating fun, play, and connection into our lives. She emphasizes the importance of creating inclusive environments that prioritize psychological safety and consent. We dig into what it means to be neurodivergent, the importance of freedom, the transformative power of information, and much much more.
If you only take one thing away from this Episode it should be this: Have more fun!
The main teaching and takeaways from this interview:
- Incorporating fun, play, and connection is crucial for a fulfilling life. By engaging in activities that bring joy and foster connections with others, we can enhance our overall well-being and satisfaction.
- By using hands-on activities and creative thinking, we can tap into our imagination and explore new perspectives.
- Creating inclusive environments requires prioritizing psychological safety and consent. It is important to create spaces where individuals feel safe to express themselves and where their boundaries are respected.
- Understanding and accepting neurodivergent conditions is essential for promoting inclusivity.
- Innovation has the potential to bring about transformative change. By embracing new ideas and approaches, we can challenge the status quo and find innovative solutions to complex problems.
- The concept of freedom and the role of power play a significant role in making a positive impact. By understanding the dynamics of power and advocating for freedom and equality, we can work towards creating a more just and equitable society.
