In this episode, I sit down with Joe C., a chemistry teacher by day and existentialism junkie by night, to dive deep into the mind-bending world of Sartre, Kierkegaard, and what it really means to live with freedom and anxiety hanging over our heads. We break down the whole existential package—freedom, choice, and that constant, nagging search for meaning—especially in a world that feels more chaotic with every passing day. But it’s not just all highbrow philosophy. We get personal, swapping stories about fatherhood, teaching, and how those big, abstract ideas show up in the most real parts of life. We explore how being a parent shapes your perspective on freedom, and how navigating the chaos of the classroom often feels like a mini-existential crisis in itself. Whether you’ve gone down the existential rabbit hole before or you’re just curious about what it all means, this episode will hit home. It’s about finding clarity in the mess of everyday life, and rethinking what it really means to live on your own terms.   Further Exploration: Joe C. - The Story of...Podcast Click the link and check out Joe's podcast: The Story Of...The Story of...

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into the age-old debate surrounding free will. Are we truly the captains of our own fate, or are our choices shaped by a complex web of unseen forces—biology, psychology, social norms, and even brain chemistry? We explore these questions by analyzing philosophical theories from thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Immanuel Kant, while also delving into scientific insights that challenge our traditional understanding of human agency. Through historical and religious examples, including the tale of Judas Iscariot and the legal implications of free will, we confront the very essence of what it means to make decisions in an increasingly deterministic world. Join us as we unpack the mystery of whether free will is real or simply an illusion. In other words, is free will bullshit?

The thing about any addiction is that it will never say no to you. Even when it hurts you, your addiction never calls you or forces you. You summon it. You actually hold power over it, but that power controls you for one reason or another. The most silent and least talked about addiction of all is pornography. The true crux of pornography is the fantasy of an intimate connection that leaves you more isolated than when you started. Worse yet, stigmas and shame have made it difficult for those suffering from this addiction to seek help. Joshua Shea breaks down the silent epidemic and the road to recovery to discuss this topic. He, himself, is a recovering pornography addict who can discuss what goes on inside the mind of a porn addict. Joshua’s 20-year addiction came to a head when he pulled himself off his bipolar medication and engaged an underage girl in an online chat room. Now sober, Joshua is here to help with an intimate look at his own story and the motivating factors behind what drove his addiction and what might be driving yours.
