A Conversation With Pod from Alexander Lewis

Kindness, grace, trust, and patience. I explore what these four words mean to me in my life right now and how I'm using them as my compass for my self-discovery journey. It's been a while. But it's good to be back. Hope you enjoy.

How does Lucas stay curious? How we experience life can be seen as a series of curiosities. Questions that lead us to learn, grow, and evolve from. For Lucas, his curiosities became obsessions, shaping how he thinks about building, learning, and the kind of impact he wants to have on the world. We also talk about losing a spark for curiosity and how to regain that excitement, learning through the...

Thank you to everyone who listened this year to the pod. It's a joy to be able to share a piece of myself through this medium and I look forward to more expressions of self this year...along with my next intention for the year. Listen in to hear my review and what I'm looking forward to next! My favorite podcasts of '25 The Divorce Expert, James Sexton, on The Diary Of A CEO with Steve...

How do I make life an adventure worth living? Whether it's a 100-mile hike in the Alps or an ultra trail run, Kwok is always looking for that next adventure. In this conversation, we talk about why he seeks thrill and physical challenges for clarity, what his adventure on his 100-mile Tour Du Mont Blonc trek taught him about presence, resilience, and human connection, how saying yes to spontan...

I always find myself going through quite the thought exploration when facing any question about life. In this exploration I go from reading my personal journal about a prompt I was given in therapy to sharing my favorite quote from the latest book i've read. Some ideas shared here may make no sense or may make a lot of sense for you but overall I always hope it simply sparks some thought explo...

Here's what's been on my mind for the past couple of weeks. There are so many layers to relationships that I need to keep understanding for myself but I'm happy to start here with these thoughts, ideas, concepts that have been on my mind. Hope this sparks some thoughts for yourself or at least serves as some peaceful background noise as you drive or do the dishes :) Enjoy Link to the a...

I ran the Golden Gate Half Marathon! Here's my experience and what I learned from my first race. I also answer what success means to me, how I think about finding balance with everything I want to be doing right now, and the connection I found between vulnerability and curiosity. Enjoy!

Relationships is at the core of what UT values. This shows in his love to travel that allows him to connect with new places, new perspectives, and people, to building Mela that focuses on fostering community for music festival and concert goers. As he spends his time between Mela, a full time job, traveling, friends, and fitness, I wanted to ask...how does he find the balance for each? So we had a...

Here's what's been on my mind and what I've done the past week. From organizing a fitness crawl, testing a new format for the podcast that became one of my favorite conversations, favorite quotes from the past week, sharing my little joys list, and answering what I've learned about myself this past year that has surprised me. Here's the book I referenced by Derek Sivers, How To...

I had a phone call with Vanessa last week that sparked this idea. One of the rules I had set with this podcast was doing every conversation in-person. The biggest reward I get from doing these are the connections I am able to foster and I feel they are far more powerful when done in person. That being said, I've struggled to consistently schedule conversations. With my busy schedule and with t...

Spent last weekend in San Diego for ACW super guest Brian Weitzenkamp's wedding. Major congrats to him and his wife, Kayla. I spent the early Saturday morning at The Yard Gym in Pacific Beach. You'll hear my pre and post thoughts shared here and a couple of my take aways about the culture and camaraderie that I loved. Enjoy!

+ a fitness check-in, friendships and why a phone call with a friend this week gave me so much joy, YouTube & content creation struggles, and finally answering Andrea's whimsy questions. Enjoy!

Luke and I start the pod with a pre-run check in before our 8 mile destination run in Pacifica, CA. We then chat about Luke's experience growing up in Michigan, life in San Francisco, solo activities, and Luke's ideal day. Enjoy.

Trying something new...a conversation now on video! I talk about my latest conversation with Andrea Chen , my trip to New York, my evolving interests and what i've been learning about myself, how I'm showing up every day intentionally, and what I'm looking forward to the most for the rest of the year. Enjoy !

Andrea and I met through a mutual friend while in San Francisco. I owe a lot of my new experiences and approach to trying new things to Andrea's welcoming and adventurous nature, and it's been a long time coming to have this conversation. Enjoy. Check out Andrea's artwork @ssoleilstudio

If you could give any piece of advice to yourself a few years ago, what would that advice be? I had a tough week. I was not myself. I did not feel mentally or physically strong. I let my negative voice have too much air time. I lost the plot. How do I jump back? I talk about launchpad activities, traveling for my family reunion, maintaining my personal confidence, and the piece of advice I would g...

Aditi is that one friend of mine who always seems to be doing something fun and trying something new every week. From training for a marathon to backpacking in the Sierra mountains, she's always on some electrifying side quest. I was curious about what made her so adventurous, what makes her say yes to trying new things, how she committed to run a marathon, and much more. So we had a conversat...

How do you decide what’s truly important, and why have you chosen to value the things you value most? I also answer, am I happy?, discuss arguing to understand over arguing to be right, my reflections on the Netflix show Adolescence, and my thoughts on masculinity, social media, and trust. Thanks for being here! Enjoy.

Eamonn and I got carried away yapping for the first 45 minutes. At [44:10] we start talking about his next chapter to med school in Philadelphia, what led him to choosing this path of academia, the importance of community, third spaces, stepping out of your comfort zone, swimming with sharks, and creating the life you want to live. Enjoy!

I talk about my recent trip to Chicago, why I love plane rides sometimes more than the destination, Matthew McConaughey's walk-abouts, and something I wanted to share. No frameworks. Another diary entry. Enjoy. Listen to my uncle's yoga journey on Yoga with Elias Lopez . Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey. I love paperback. Write in your books more. Listen to the last conversation I did with Nicol...

Talking about the conversations on the pod since my last diary entry and reflecting on Emilio Carranza's ( #022 ) ACW entry: What is your intention and what is the latest action you've taken to move toward that intention?

The last conversation with Nic for ACW was January 5, 2023. That was over zoom. For this conversation, we walked through Golden Gate Park on a beautiful Saturday in San Francisco. Enjoy. Read more about Nic's perspective on Alignment .
