All We Need to Know
Your Travel Guide for the Bumpy Road of Life
The All We Need to Know podcast is a testimonial that ordinary people can have extraordinary lives. It’s the tale of one ordinary guy’s seven-decade journey from a stinky rubber dump in New Jersey to the pristine peaks of the Andes, from the icy crags of Tibet to the playful waters of the Mekong Delta. It’s the story of his experiences with self-exploration, his triumphs and failures, ultimately, finding his way home to being whole — and collecting valuable insights about life and living along the way.
Think travelogue meets life-navigation manual —
part adventure story, part going-home story, and part “wow, I never thought of it that way” revelation.
Yup. I’ve been places. Done a lot. Multiple lives and careers. Made mistakes, failed. Searched, strived. Loved, lost. Found it again. Learned a lot — mostly the hard way. You don’t have to.
To be clear, All We Need to Know isn’t one more self-help or celebrity interview podcast. It’s not about me telling you what to do or that you need to change. Because you don’t!
All We Need to Know is a voyage of discovery about who YOU are, why YOU’RE here, about where “here” is, about living life from the inside out instead of the outside in.
It’s about my sharing a bunch of stuff I’ve observed about why we humans do what we do — and why life is far more difficult than it has to be and far less fulfilling than it can be.

What You’ll Get
This podcast isn’t about solutions to your everyday problems, life-hacks, or quick fixes. All We Need to Know is for people who sense that life too often asks more of them than they were ever prepared for — who are being worn down from trying to control what they can’t and chasing a version of happiness that somebody else contrived.
Throughout its numerous episodes, we’ll dig into four questions whose answers shape everything:
- Who are you?
- What do you want?
- Why do you want it?
- How will you get it?
Sounds simple, right? Here’s the thing — these aren’t just conversation starters. Your answers to these questions drive every decision you make, which means they pretty much write the story of your life.
I’m not going to give you the answers. Instead, I’ll show you how your perceptions, beliefs, expectations, and cultural programming — all operating under the surface —condition your answers without you even noticing it. If you did notice it, it couldn’t happen.
You’ll gain
- Clarity from seeing old patterns in a new light
- Relief from thinking there’s something wrong with you that needs fixing
- An alternative approach that makes life easier and more meaningful
How It Works
I offer thought-provoking content for people who want to think more purposefully to understand themselves and our world more completely. Expect stories, some gentle challenges, and more than a few “I never thought of it that way” moments.
Episodes build on each other — especially early on — because that’s how real understanding develops. Layer by layer, insight by insight.
I’m your guide and your interpreter, not your guru. I’ve travelled this bumpy road of life long enough to ultimately learn a number of things I wish I had known a long time ago. I wish I’d met someone like me back in the day!
And this podcast? It’s just the beginning. Think of it as your entry point into a whole approach to living that could change everything. We’re just getting started!
