#035- The Trent Peterson Interview
I first met Trent in the summer of 2021 when we moved to Stephenville TX and we quickly became best friends. In 2024 Trent’s world was turned upside down when he experienced blood clots in his left arm and during his hospitalization suffered a stroke. In the subsequent year Trent had to relearn…

#034-A Different Kind of Tech
We live in a hyper specialized society where it is necessary to rely on others for their expertise. For example, everyone who drives a car has to pump gas but few people understand how a refinery works, what it takes to transport the fuel and how it has to be stored. For the most part expertise…

#033-Context of a Reset
This in the first episode in a series where I intend on laying out what my paradigm of the past is and my hope for the future. When talking of social change reference to the past is vital. It is natural to seek analogues from the past to observe what the "natural" arc of a civilization has been.…

#027- Re-launching The Panhandle Primate Podcast
This was the first “test recording” in the new Brain Matterz studio. It is also the re-launch of this podcast’s original name The Panhandle Primate podcast. These past years I feel like I have struggled to define the podcast and the overall content that we aimed to produce. After a little soul...

#025- Should You Prepare

-
#024- A Toxic Mindset

-
#013-Metrics
This episode is following up on some concepts introduced in the last episode, The Zero. When people talk about metrics, it’s usually used to discuss something quantifiable…things like money or data. What if we instead applied it to other, less-quantifiable things as well - things like happiness…
more -
#012- The Zero
When I first presented the idea of doing an episode over Zero, Shannon was skeptical. How much is there to say about nothing? Turns out, quite a lot. In this episode, we explore Zero as a number, a concept, and as an abstraction. Zero may seem like nothing, but as with most things, there is more...
-
#010- The Four Pillars of Cearley Cultivation

#009- You're in a simulation
The emergence of the “Meta Verse” represents a new stage of the internet, dubbed “Web 3”. This new platform presents a new level of virtual existence, which just so happens to feel eerily similar to many dystopian novel plots. With virtual reality at our doorstep, Shannon and I felt intrigued to...
-
#008- Politically non-binary
Left vs. Right. Pro-choice vs. Pro-Life. Pro-vaccine vs. Anti-vaccine. I always get a little weary when complex issues become reduced to binaries, as if those are the only two choices. Most of the time, binaries exist when there is a limitation of options or when your options stand to be limited....
-
#007- Book Club- Fight club
This is the first episode in our book club series. Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk was published in 1999 and has proven to be very prophetic.

-
#004- Crypto with Kishore (part 1)
This is part 1 of a 3 part story exploring the topic of crypto currency and DeFi. This was a barn burner of a recording at over 3 hours, which sets a record as our longest interview, and I honestly felt like the conversation could have kept going, the topics were far from exhausted. Our guest,...
-
#003- The tables turned
We recorded this episode on a beautiful afternoon in Abilene, Texas. When I contacted Erin Elise Holland about being on the show, she thought it would be fun to interview us. Erin asked us questions about how Shannon and I met and what lead us to get married. The conversation also flowed around...
-
#002- Zombie-ism
The mindless mass, as a trope, is always present, and the natural inclination is to imagine that you are one of the few survivors. But why are we, as a society, so infatuated with zombies and apocalypses? In this episode, we explore the deeper side of this seemingly “silly” horror sub genre. If…
