After a few non sequitur stories about noodles, raw veganism, and Red Lobster, Sarah settles into a monologue about Jesus Christ as an artist, and how Christians got it all backwards.  Self-help books claim to have the blue print and if you follow their program then "Dee Dee Dee and Dee Dee Dee and Ta-da!"

In writing circles we use prompts to get the pen going. In this episode we use a "Prompting" (that's Phil's elaboration on the term prompt.) It was written by Dalton Marshall, and is based on an idea articulated by Jordan Peterson.  The idea is:  Just because a symphony ends doesn't mean it was not beautiful. Dalton's writing is spacious and thought provoking and we w...

There a few people in Salt Lake City tryin to make spaces for the recovery community.  We call them "small town celebrities."  When you are an ambitious/creative person:  How do you relate to others who are trying to do what you're doing? What is healthy competition?  When is enough, enough?  How does Grace fit into the whole thing? Support the show

Pleasantly surprised how clean this episode sounds without any modifications to Harvey. If you haven't heard yet, he is the short bus we are turning into a mobile recording studio.  Kept it short & sweet this week at about 25 minutes of imagining how cool this bus is gonna be.  Check our website and find a short video to go along with this audio: ownitslc.com Support the show

What to do with a lackluster To-Do List?  Stare at it. Cry about it. Open the gate and let all the wild animals out.  Admit that perhaps you don't care about it.
