Phone Calls
by Brendhan Garland
Ian and Brendhan are just two regular guys from the Midwest who decided to turn their phone calls into a podcast. Using mindfulness as their guide, Ian and Brendhan travel across a spectrum of topics, centered around mindfulness, ranging from the outrageous, to the political, to the spiritual and everything in between. Outside of podcasting, Ian is a Personal Trainer/Philosopher and Brendhan is a Visual Artist. These different backgrounds make for engaging conversations that, we hope, bring you insight on how to allow yourself to simply be and live more consciously.
