Better Ideas with Dakota Pike

Brother Space Bear Returns for Episode 50! (Cameron DuPratte)

 Matt Turner has been on what he calls his healing journey for 17 years. Let me be the first to say that it shows. He is an encyclopedia of spiritual insights, and a great example of what it looks like to work on yourself for nearly two decades. This is his 3rd appearance on my podcast so that should tell you how much I love talking to him. You will for sure find something in this episode to take with you on our own healing journey.   To check out Matt's services go to: belovehealings.com and be sure to follow him on social media.   To support this podcast go to: patreon.com/betterideas 

Ep.49- Transforming Fear w/ Matt Turner (BeLoveHealings.com)

 Our guest today, Nick Nichols is a stand up comedian from KC. We discuss Shane Mauss' Stand Up Science tour that Nick got to be part of, and more about his life as a full time comic. I highly recommend that you go see this guy perform. You can find his dates at https://cornellnicknichols.com/ or follow him on Instagram to stay updated on all of his content.   If you'd like to support this show, we will love you forever.

Ep.48- Comedy and Life w/ Nick Nichols, Palmer Davidson, and Josh Swanson

Every now and then, you meet fellow travelers who have often explored some of the same paths as you. Sometimes they've gone further. Josh and Palmer are two of my favorite explorers to talk to, because of conversations like this. We start out talking about ghosts and aliens, but ultimately end up in the familiar space of the present moment. Mindfulness. I hope that this podcast will help you find peace in not knowing, and happiness in chaos. Let's continue to ask the hard questions together. patreon.com/betterideas

Ep47-Ghosts, Aliens, and What Is (Church of Whatever w/Josh and Palmer)

In today's episode, Palmer and I discuss his idea for an app that would probably change the world, and that leads into many facets of conversation about the internet. How it's structured, how people make money on it, and how some of those things need improvement. I believe that this is an important conversation for everyone to participate in, being that we all use the internet. Whether that's for you business, art, social life, or all of the above.

Ep.46- Palmer Saves The Internet.

  The Church of Whatever is a segment dedicated to spiritual concepts, and a lot of the ideas we grew up learning about. Could we have missed something? Is it possible that some of the ideas that we've rejected have actual value in our lives? Well, we intend to dig deep, and search for meaning where it's been lost in order to see what we can learn through deconstructing some of the most foundational beliefs that we've held at certain points in life.   This conversation between Palmer and I is about Sin. That word carries a lot of weight, and means a lot of different things to different people. My hope is that this conversation causes you to think about what it means to you, and perhaps find healing from a new perspective on an ancient version of morality. Enjoy!   Please consider supporting this show at patreon.com/betterideas 

Ep.45- Let's Talk About Sin (Church of Whatever w/Palmer)

I've been waiting a while to introduce you to my friend Palmer. This conversation goes in a lot of different directions, but it's because him and I are both very passionate about some of the topics we get into. We both felt like we only scratched the surface. So, during this conversation we (halfway) joked about doing this weekly. It's gonna happen! We plan on talking about a lot more topics and queuing in on some of the most important ones to us. The next episodes will be a lot shorter, but just as awesome.

Ep.44- Learning How to Live w/ Palmer Davidson (Similar Animal)

This is a conversation with my good friend, Will. We talk about how to grow a beard, being authentic, a few spiritual ideas, and about the new direction this podcast is headed. I'm sure there's a few other things too.   If you'd like to help take this show on the road, expand production, and continue to grow, consider becoming a patron here; patreon.com/betterideas
