Guest: Roko Santana (@roko.santana) – Musician, Self-proclaimed Over-thinker & Spiritual ExplorerDrop Date: July 27, 2025Episode Description:In this deeply reflective and soul-stirring episode, the host sits down with musician and creative thinker Roko Santana for a conversation that blurs the line between philosophy, spirituality, and art. Together, they explore the hierarchy of life—passion, purpose, self, and God—and how understanding this order can help us find meaning in an overwhelming world.Roko opens up about his personal battle as an overthinker, sharing how music has become his greatest teacher. They discuss music not just as sound, but as a living, breathing entity—a spirit you can talk to, thank, and even use to guide you back to your truest self. This naturally leads to a deeper debate: Do we find ourselves, or do we create ourselves?The conversation takes a fun and unpredictable turn as they dive into Eshghe Abadi—the Persian version of Love Island—and use it as a lens to unpack themes of love, identity, and even racism in modern entertainment.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen (to yourself and to music), and rethink how we relate to passion, love, and God—all while laughing through the absurdities of life.If you’ve ever felt lost, overwhelmed, or stuck in your own head, this one’s for you.Key Themes:• The hierarchy of life: passion, purpose, self & God• Music as a living entity and spiritual guide• Finding vs. creating yourself – what’s real?• The inner battle of an overthinker• Eshghe Abadi (Persian Love Island) and the conversation on racism in entertainment• Love, identity & purpose in a chaotic worldHashtags:#HierarchyOfLife #SpiritOfMusic #FindingYourself #CreatingYourself #Overthinkers #EshgheAbadi #PersianLoveIsland #racism #PassionAndPurpose #MusicIsAlive #SelfDiscovery #InsideoutUniverse
