📍Columbus, Ohio -

Today, we’re sitting down with my friend Travis Brown — someone who’s always been actively engaged in his own experience of life. Listen in as he educates me on consent, philosophy, and also? We nerd out on Magic: The Gathering. So if you’ve got gamers in your life, this might be an episode for them. We do get into the weeds, but we tie it all together, I promise.

And a quick note — Season Two is right around the corner. It’ll still be about meeting strangers, but the focus is shifting. You’re going to hear from people exploring the non-physical side of life — think consciousness, the unknown, the kinds of experiences that make us reconsider what’s possible. I’m taking a short break to get episodes booked, recorded, and ready to go, and we’ll be back soon with more amazing stories to tell.

For this episode, I'm releasing something a bit more bite-sized, and it features a conversation with Chris Sorensen - a friend that I made during my trip to The Monroe Institute in April of 2025 who had some pretty wild experiences, and was willing to share them with us.

Most people that I talk with about their Out of Body experiences have them occur during sleep, or otherwise altered states of consciousness - be it meditation or medication, or in Peter's case in Episode 18, a stress response..

Chris has had these experiences due to medical reasons, specifically the phenomenon known as Vasovagal Syncope, which I was wholly unfamiliar with prior to this conversation, and it raises some questions which, in spite of spending time researching the phenomenon, I still find myself lacking satisfactory answers, but which point to potential physiological predicates for the experience.

This week, I’m sharing a conversation with my friend Gerard—a technologist, a thinker, and someone who has deliberately shaped his own path through experience, reflection, and intentional hard work.

In this episode, we talk about self-discovery—what it means to redefine yourself beyond the past, how masculinity is shaped by culture, and how we make peace with the stories we tell ourselves. We explore technology—the way AI and social media influence our perceptions of self, connection, and the future. Finally, if not sequentially, we dig into healing—through mental health work, spirituality, and psychedelics, and how these tools have helped Gerard navigate trauma and rebuild trust.

I found the conversation to be honest, introspective, and deeply human, and I hope it resonates with you as much as it did with me.

I’d love to hear what stood out to you, so drop a comment or send me a message.

As always, I hope you’re walking away with one less stranger in your life.
