Description

TK opens the door in a warm, wine-sipped whisper: this is a bonus episode of Modern Goliaths, recorded right after the last one, raw and immediate. He draws you in by naming a familiar ache—the itch to reach for a phone, the hollow scroll at red lights, the dog-walkers and checkout lines filled with invisible noise. This is a story about how constant input steals our inner voice and how silence has quietly become an act of rebellion.

He moves from the mundane to the seismic: feeds that churn outrage, breaking news banners that never stop blinking, and a moment when the world collectively lost its footing after a public figure’s death. Memory and perspective are swallowed by a flood of instant opinions, leaving us unsure which thoughts are truly ours. TK’s voice walks you through that dizzying landscape, honest and unafraid to name how algorithms trade our attention for anxiety.

Then he slows the pace and paints quiet scenes that stay with you—a backyard of crickets and frogs, the black sky over Waimea Canyon bursting with stars, the strange magic of being alone with nature. Those images are a counterpoint to the static of modern life and a reminder that silence doesn’t have to be eerie; it can be restorative, even sacred.

TK offers practices like story beats: three stones to throw at the Goliath of noise. First, try intentional silence—start with a daring 15 minutes with no music, no podcasts, no scrolling—and feel how unsettled thoughts begin to settle like dust. Next, curate your feed: trade endless pretty faces for accounts that teach, uplift, and expand your mind. Finally, reclaim your mindspace—make quiet votes for your peace and eject people or practices that rob you of calm.

The episode snaps to a powerful slingstone: you can’t control the noise, but you can control the value you let in. TK’s narrative is both a confession and a challenge—he shares his own slips and small victories, like taking a social media break and retraining his phone habits, so you don’t feel lectured but companioned on the path back to attention.

With a voice that mixes humor, tenderness, and sharp insight, TK turns a cultural diagnosis into an intimate invitation: turn down the world for a bit, tune back into yourself, and remember that every moment of quiet is a vote for your peace. The episode closes with gratitude and the familiar sign-off—stay soft at heart—leaving listeners moved, provoked, and ready to try silence for themselves.
