  • EP137: No Beats, Just Grit: The Unlikely Anthem Of A Freelance Sportswriter with Liam Hanley
    Jan 22 2026

    On this episode of "Into the Unknown" What happens when passion refuses to clock out? In this episode of Into the Unknown, Jeremy Swick sits down with freelance sportswriter and podcaster Liam Hanley to explore what it really means to build a creative career without a safety net and without losing your voice along the way. From long nights editing podcasts to walking away from writing jobs that paid but drained him, Liam shares the grit behind choosing fulfillment over formulas.


    This conversation weaves together sports, storytelling, and identity from rugby pitches that forged lifelong brotherhood to press credentials earned through consistency, not shortcuts. Liam opens up about navigating the modern sports media landscape, the tension between SEO-driven content and meaningful writing, and why believing words still matter might be the boldest stance a freelancer can take today. You’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for the unseen work behind creative careers and a renewed respect for those who keep showing up anyway.

  • EP136: How To Navigate Narcissism: A Compassionate Guide To High-Conflict Relationships with Dr. Anthony Mazzella
    Jan 15 2026

    On this episode of "Into the Unknown" What if narcissism isn’t just about ego but about hidden vulnerability and misunderstood defense? On this episode of Into the Unknown, host Jeremy Swick sits down with psychoanalyst Dr. Anthony Mazella for a thoughtful, perspective-shifting conversation about high-conflict relationships and what really drives narcissistic behavior. Together, they explore how deeper reflection, curiosity, and precise language can open doors to healing even in the most challenging dynamics.


    Whether you’re navigating a parent, partner, or personality you just can’t quite understand, this episode offers practical insights and emotional depth. Jeremy and Dr. Mazella unpack the power of slowing down, why “just trying to help” can backfire, and how to approach connection with both compassion and boundaries. If you've ever felt erased or confused in a relationship, this one offers a radically different lens and a place to begin.
