Soulture

Two years ago, this podcast was just an idea in my head—a microphone, a computer, and my brother's bedroom. Last month, that same idea took me to Miami for my first podcast trip. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of that experience and share what it taught me about confidence, momentum, and building something one step at a time. More than anything, this is a reminder that the hard...

Chris Guillebeau introduces a concept I think many of us have experienced but never had language for: time anxiety.

We live in a world obsessed with content, and in the process, I think we've forgotten the power of storytelling. In this solo episode, I explore why we rush to explain experiences that are still unfolding, the difference between collecting and connecting the dots, and why some of the most meaningful stories in our lives require time, distance, and reflection before they can truly be understoo...

Dacher Keltner explores why awe may be the most transformative emotion we experience. He explains how awe quiets the ego, reconnects us to meaning, and reshapes how we understand things like grief, spirituality, music, nature, and even health.

He explores how the internet reshaped modern creativity, why memes became a powerful vehicle for ideas, and why some of the deepest creative breakthroughs come through pain, stillness, and uncertainty.

Brian Costello challenges the way we’ve been conditioned to think about progress by arguing that the systems we rely on for change may be the very things holding us back. Years of chasing performance, growth, and measurable success begin to crack, exposing how much of what we chase is inherited rather than chosen. Instead of trying to fix it within the same framework, Brian turns to fiction writin...

Most people quit way too early—not because it’s not working, but because it’s not working yet. There’s a gap between what you put in and what you get back, and if you don’t understand that gap, you’ll quit something that was actually working. In this episode, I break down what I call the Passion Product Paradigm: why passion comes first, how it builds a better product over time, and why results al...

Dr. Sean Mackey reframes pain as more than a simple signal from injury by showing how it’s shaped by the brain, perception, and experience.

Send us Fan Mail Thank you so much for listening. I tr...

Dr. Kelly Brogan challenges the belief that you’re broken by exposing how psychiatry focuses on managing symptoms instead of understanding them.

Matt Johnson grew up in a double-wide trailer, joined the military searching for direction, and later discovered endurance running as a way to transform pain, trauma, and complacency into purpose. He shares how a fractured leg, a near-suicide moment, and running across Texas forced him to confront identity, faith, and what “home” really means. This conversation explores resilience, suffering, and...

Joshua De Schutter sees poetry as the foundation of every art form, just words on paper that can make someone feel seen. From feeling lost at 19 to reaching millions, he shares how poetry became a way to articulate emotions people can’t name, why you can only create from what you’ve lived, and how “falling off” early on taught him to separate art from numbers. This is about faith, identity, pressu...

Danny Miranda didn’t hit rock bottom. He hit “this should feel better than it does.” On paper, life was working—money, freedom, San Diego sun—but internally something was off. He unpacks the ego phase marked by gambling and fear, the meditation practice that brought it into the light, and the vulnerable confession to his parents that changed his trajectory. We explore the synchronicities that foll...

This conversation also dives into radical...

She unpacks why anxiety, shame, and guilt often sit on top of deeper feelings like sadness and anger, and how the Change Triangle helps access what’s underneath. We get into how emotions are physiological, not intellectual, and why healing begins by learning to feel, not fix. This is an education in...

Episode 100, but in a way, it feels like episode one. I’m changing the name of the podcast, not as a pivot, but as a reflection of what it’s already become. What started with the identity of Outworker evolved through the conversations into something deeper. Soul became the word that best captured it. This episode unpacks how Soulture emerged not from strategy, but from listening—to the guests, to...
