What does it actually look like to stay present when you're driving 10–12 hours a day, feeling lonely in your car, grieving lost friends, and still trying to create?For this milestone episode, I tried something different—I asked Claude to generate 6 spontaneous topics about my life that I'd never seen before, then hit record and responded from the heart with zero preparation.What emerged was a raw conversation about staying mindful through exhausting work, creative expression as survival, what loss teaches us about impermanence, the difference between loneliness and aloneness, gaming as a spiritual practice, and what I'd tell my 25-year-old self about cherishing time with the people I love.No outline. No safety net. Just coming back to presence, over and over again.In this episode:Staying mindful while driving long hours in the gig economyWhy creative expression matters even when no one's listeningWhat losing friends to death and distance taught me about impermanenceThe difference between being alone and being lonelyCan gaming be a spiritual practice?
