The future is on the table, kiddos.

I sit down with Chelsea Riffe for a conversation that feels like two forward-thinkers comparing bruises — the bruises you get from living in a world that’s shapeshifting faster than most people are willing to admit.

We talk about collective whiplash. The dissonance of being “ahead” (and not always in a fun visionary way — more like… you can’t unsee what you can’t unsee). We explore identity, creativity, community, legacy, self-image, and the tight little psychological cages that capitalism and the American Dream built inside our nervous systems.

This episode is about wanting a bigger life — but not wanting to lose yourself trying to prove you deserve it.

And it’s also for anyone willing to ask: What would I do if I made decisions from my deathbed — not from fear, ego, or performance?

Themes from the episode 🌶️

🌶️ Navigating collective shifts — and the weird grief / rage / loneliness of feeling the future arriving before your surroundings catch up.
🌶️ The pressure of forward thinking — especially when you’re creative, sensitive, intuitive
🌶️ The deathbed decision framework — making choices from the “I refuse to regret this life” place.
🌶️ Impulsivity as creative fuel — and why “stability” isn’t always the most honest value.
🌶️ Breaking free from the American Dream mindset — and the exhausting inner pull toward proof, status, and visibility.
🌶️ Self-image + self-worth — the ebb and flow of appearance, self-care, distraction, and performance.
🌶️ Redefining success beyond capitalism — wealth, leadership, contribution, redistribution, legacy.
🌶️ Community as infrastructure — not a cute accessory. A survival plan. A creative engine. A new system.
🌶️ Vulnerability + asking for help — not as weakness, but as leadership and liberation.
🌶️ Living with contradictions — building a life that can hold paradox without collapsing.
