Marching the Middle Way

Published on: 4th January, 2021

Chris brings a particularly unique perspective to the show by speaking to his peculiar odyssey back to "normalcy" and civilian life at the end of one of the strangest years in recent history. Brandon and Chris take a tour of some unorthodox topics including:

- irregular learning styles

- the insights of Eastern philosophy and Buddhism

- wisdom vs knowledge

- balancing progress and well-being

- taking the "long route" in life

- the effects military service on fear, ego, and personal identity

- reevaluating "homelessness"

- the beauty of the "street dog"

- the importance of levity

- the absurdities of Special Forces training

- the power of acceptance

- the limitations of regret

- why hope deeply matters


and various others!

About the Podcast

Impostors Anonymous
For the impostor in all of us.
Impostors Anonymous is an exploration of where conversation leads when we attempt to leave our identities at the door. This project aims to limit the audience's ability to be misguided by preconceived notions and labels, allowing for a focus on direct experience and the character of content. While any topic is on the table from any perspective, common themes will include consciousness, mitigating human suffering, and the unraveling of our group and internal identities.
