First off, Shout-outs to mt patrons and supports Jim Martin and Ben Bridges. I completely forgot to give you a shout out in the episode, my apologies! To make up for it I'm giving you top billing here, lol.
I'm so excited to share this episode. I got the amazing opportunity to interview one of my favorite writers and thinkers, Eric G. Wilson.
A few months back I made a video and a podcast talking a little bit about one his books, Against Happiness. If you want to watch the video you can find it here, and if you want to listen to the podcast episode you can find it here.
That video put me in touch with both Eric and his podcasting partner, Joel Tauber. I was fortunate enough to have Joel as a guest on a previous episode of the podcast, you can also watch the video of my interview with Joel here.
Their podcast, which we talk about in the episode, is called Belt: A 2-Man Memoir. Its funny, smart, and irreverent.
This is an incredible conversation. I'm so unspeakably grateful to Eric for taking the time.
As the title of this episode suggests, we talk a lot about meaning and melancholy. But, we also talk quite a bit about creativity, writing, failure, religion, spirituality, and so many other rich and dynamic subjects.
Here are a few of the books from Eric's catalog that we discussed:
Everyone Loves a Good Train Wreck
