“When people see some things as beautiful,
other things become ugly.
When people see some things as good,
other things become bad.”
~Lao Tzu
If I do say so myself. 😏 This is what happens when a chronically hypervigilant recovering over-analyzer tries to reintegrate into society. Except this time I’m not trying to be anyone other than myself.

❓ What do you do when you know deep down that you can make a positive impact, but you can never find the right words to do it effectively or doubts and feelings of inadequacy bubble up?
🎯 Practice.
It’s taken me until the age of 40 to feel comfortable in my own skin. Now I’m trying to find my voice.
👋 Heyo! I’m CK, your functional systems integrator. What’s that? Well, let’s just say I love to learn about a lot of different things and find connections between them to enhance the collective whole. I’ve done this a lot in the realms of functional health and digital marketing, and I’m continuing to branch out into other areas like audio/visual content creation and music production.
🗣️ I’ve never been much of a talker, so it made all the sense in the world to start my own podcast. I’m using this platform to practice podcasting and practice speaking in general, while espousing half-thoughts and providing unsolicited advice.
🔊 I’m fortunate to have The Linchpin at the Forces of Equal, Pamela, come along with me as my Practice partner. We talk about my experience with this process along with various lifestyle practices, as well as theories and ideas behind the virtue of practice itself.
📈 These Practice Sessions are unscripted and our conversations are published unedited, so my progress with speaking will be fully transparent.
🥗 I tend to develop a lot of concepts and tangent salads around science and philosophy, especially around complex systems and mindset.
👐 Whether you’re interested in exploring agile podcasting, considering the effects of positive self-reflection, or just observing my attempt in learning how to talk as I psychoanalyze myself throughout the process… 👉 you have a wondrously complex mind, too, and I’d love to have you come along and explore with me.
🎙️ We record weekly on Sundays and try to publish by Monday.
🎯 #KeepOnPracticing
Join in on the fun as I self-experiment with agile-podcasting and practice talking unedited on the fly. All while espousing the virtues of practice and working out how to articulate the complex thoughts that constantly make tangent salads in my mind.

“Holons on successively higher levels of the hierarchy show increasingly complex, more flexible and less predictable patterns of activity, while on successive lower levels we find increasingly mechanised, stereotyped and predictable patterns.”
~Arther Koestler
“If you live in harmony with nature you will never be poor; if you live according to what others think, you will never be rich.” ~Seneca
Practice Session #28
“You can discard most of the junk that clutters your mind… and clear out space for yourself… by comprehending the scale of the world… by contemplating infinite time… by thinking of the speed with which things change — each part of every thing; the narrow space between our birth and death; the infinite time before; the equally unbounded time that follows.” ~Marcus Aurelius
Practice Session #28
“The way to transcend karma lies in the proper use of the mind and will. The oneness of all life is a truth that can be fully realized only when false notions of a separate self, whose destiny can be considered apart from the whole, are forever annihilated.” ~Bruce Lee
It all started out as practicing podcasting, and now we think we're actually doing it... for real?
