This Just Is
by thisjustispodcast
TV producer, husband, and father, Ian Friedman, creates a space for genuine connection and conversation, with guests from all walks of life covering a range of topics. The overwhelming theme, however, is always about the human condition and honesty. Ian tackles challenging questions like: What makes us who we are? What do we perceive vs. what’s really there? How do we manage the chaos of everyday life and preserve a modicum of ourselves in the process? And how can we continue this practice, improve, enhance, and dare we say perfect it? Ian encourages his listeners to develop the tools to express themselves to the world authentically and strip away the superficial preconceptions that cloud everyday thinking. "Do you have the courage to lay it all out on the line and be who you really are? I’m trying my hardest to do this every day and I invite you to join me in the fight. We may not always win but I know you’re a warrior just like me." - Ian Friedman <p style='color:grey; font-size:0
