The Soulcruzer podcast is an audioblog from the edge of the inner life.
Part personal essay, part field recording, part narrative alchemy, it follows the strange places where story, psyche, myth, technology, and everyday experience begin to speak to each other.
One episode might wander through tarot as reflective technology. Another might take Nietzsche’s eternal return for a walk, explore games as containers for transformation, or ask what happens when ancient wisdom meets the AI age. Depth psychology brushes against the esoteric. Philosophy comes down from the shelf. Theory gets tested against life.
This is not polished guru-talk or productivity theatre. It is a mind in movement: raw notes, live experiments, confessional mysticism, and working fragments from the textual underground.
At the heart of it all is a simple premise:
Stories are code. Reality is programmable. And the life you are living might be more editable than you were taught to believe.
If you are drawn to the deep work, the strange edges, and the art of becoming more fully alive, subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.
In this episode, I take the Soulcruzer podcast out of the studio and into the fields.
What starts as an experiment in mobile podcasting/vlogging turns into a wandering meditation on labels, blogging, AI, morning rituals, and the strange abundance of media tools we now carry in our pockets.
– Why I still think of myself as a blogger first
– Podcasting, vodcasting, and the pressure to become “multimodal”
– The problem with labels: “When you label me, you negate me”
– soulcruzer.com as the central hub/home on the internet
– Wisdom Walks as thinking time
– Walking, motion, and changing perspective
– The “barefoot philosopher” approach to everyday philosophy
– AI as an extension of cognition rather than just a productivity tool
– The “soft cyborg” and the library of Alexandria in your pocket
– Morning reality tunnels and the sacred space before breakfast
– Coffee, barefoot grounding, and choosing what enters your mind first
– Indie blogging, platforms, Substack, distribution, and the open web
– Why these episodes may stay loose, minimally edited, and stream-of-consciousness
Meet Your Guide
Get to know me.
hi, i'm the human behind this podcast and blog
Here I am.
I come to you in the capacity of a guide, a facilitator, and an inner explorer of the psyche and human potential. Over the years, I have worn many titles: son, brother, father, husband, soldier, trainer, coach, friend, and a myriad of others. On this site, I write about personal growth and transformation, maps of consciousness and the psyche, mythic imagination, and personal mythology.
Socrates is reputed to have said that “an unexamined life is not worth living.” And I’m inclined to agree, which is why I have dedicated most of my life to seeking self-knowledge. And that is why I have chosen to help people seek self-knowledge through self-reflection, guided coaching, and journaling.
Here, you’ll find no answers, only more questions, which will hopefully inspire you to stay curious and keep searching the vast domain of the psyche.

P.S.
I do offer journal coaching. If you’re wondering what journal coaching is, it’s like journaling, where your journal answers you back. It’s perfect for introverts or people who prefer to write rather than sit on a Zoom call. If you’re curious about how it works, email me.
