Creative Contact w/ Kia Orion

a very strange time in my life. 19.10.2026 14:45 ↓

Two months out from the breakup, recorded at the new place outside the city. I talk about Coop, the AI assistant that's been emailing embassies to help me renounce my US citizenship, and the other half of this season, which might include Bible study at 35. Creative Contact is my weekly pod: life abroad, decisions, and figuring it out in real time.

what i'm really building. 15.10.2026 33:16 ↓

A hands-on-my-head kind of episode. A little existential crisis last night turned into the real question: what am I actually passionate about, and how do I build a business I'm excited to wake up for? Plus why the 9-to-5 is my mortal enemy, and why I'm starting at zero to one. Creative Contact is my weekly pod: life abroad, decisions, and figuring it out in real time.

the hardest decision i've ever made 14.10.2026 23:38 ↓

two, actually

i thought i wanted to live in the mountains. 13.10.2026 20:53 ↓

I've been testing mountain life around Medellin on weekends. Turns out I like the idea of living out here more than the living out here. A short one about small experiments and what they taught me.

how to decide before you feel ready 12.10.2026 23:36 ↓

Recorded right after getting let go for the second time in a year, from a place I'm about to give up because it's too expensive. Stay or go, shrink to the cheapest rent possible or swing for it, and how to decide before you feel ready.

figuring out the shape of the business. 11.10.2026 19:30 ↓

Recorded early in the morning from a mountain town in Colombia I'd never been to. Some Colombia talk, and me thinking out loud about the shape of the business.

the power of small experiments. 10.10.2026 20:22 ↓

No fancy intro on this one. Lost the job, lost the girl, and now everything's flexible. On exploring this era through small experiments instead of one big leap.

completely untethered. 09.10.2026 17:32 ↓

Lost the job, lost the girl, and for the first time in years nothing is holding me in place. A rambling one from the end of August about what it feels like to be completely untethered.
