Episode 349: Coming out of the Psychedelic Closet and Taming Your Money Monster with Doug Lynam
7/7/2025
This week I've got returning guest, Doug Lynam, joining me on the podcast to talk about his new book, Taming Your Money Monster: 9 Paths to Money Mastery with the Enneagram.

To counter this editing, Doug requested that we do a "coming out of the psychedelic closet" interview on the podcast to coincide with the release of the new book, and here it is!

Episode 333: The Alchemist and the Eagle - The Stories Behind the Stories Behind the Music
3/17/2025
This week's episode is all about my personal creative process. I'm taking 5 tracks off my new album, "The Alchemist and the Eagle," and sharing with the listeners about the stories behind the stories behind the music. With each song, I share about what went into creating it, how it fits with the novel, and how events and experiences in my personal life shaped the characters and plot developments in the first place - so we get into some of my psychedelic experiences, my time as a grad student studying at the Mescalero Apache reservation, experiences at Burning Man, and more, and how it all helped shape the story. I get into how I worked to create the songs to go with the particular chapters and how it influenced the sounds, textures, and instruments used in the songs. You can stream the entire album HERE for free, if you'd like to hear the entire thing. I hope you enjoy this exploration of the creative process with me.
