When I started podcasting, the priority intention was to explore my genuine curiosities and connect deeply with people whose work and presence I admire... There is no agenda, no influence, no dogma. My focus is aimed at what is interesting what is helpful what is healthful. My relentless pursuit of the Good, True and Beautiful has led me down some familiar paths of exploration, including: The Terrain Philosophy of Health Tennis (playing & coaching) Alternative His-Story Poetry Spiritual Traditions Social (reverse) Engineering Language Upgrades Sacred Cows Building Resilience and more... Thank you for joining me on the best journey we will ever embark upon: from the head to the heart. Sincerely, Tom Foolery
It was a thrilling and fulfilling time spent talking with Dani Katz ... I all ways enjoy her unique brand of communication, and her energy even virtually is deeply felt.
Dani continues to make great personal and professional strides in making an impact through the medium of language, wielding it skillfully and compassionately to unify our human spirit in this age when it is tested so often...
My initial plan was to ask her about updates along the lines of current events - I am delighted that this conversation was of a much more personal nature, with ample opportunities to find universal threads for self-awareness, growth, healing and optimism.
Dani has been a tremendous inspiration for me to sharpen my words in order to make my own impact felt across time.
This conversation is guaranteed to give you food for thought, treasures for your wisdom stores, and many reasons to follow her at danikatz.com.
Thank you, Dani -- see you at Confluence!

My first encounter with Dawn's work was via What Really Makes You Ill?
My latest encounter with hearing her present at Confluence on the powerful union of conscious mind with conscious language, a revolutionary yet simple practice.
From these two connections, Dawn nudged me along the road to self-empowerment, particular through her inimitable style of blending ideas about the nature of realm with highly practical out looks.
In this conversation, we delve into the depths of forgiveness, skepticism, the purpose of Pain, moving beyond the confines of a previous life, and much more... I forego my characteristic long descriptions to encourage you to lean into every utterance from this recording.
I am certain you will enjoy Dawn's Writings on Substack, as well as her stellar podcast, Dawn of Discernment.

The scariest part of this time of year is the oblivious hypocrisy ... and the day light "savings".
When there is a movement of any kind, my Spidey Senses tingle with anticipation for the next wave of chaos, instigated by puppet masters and wizards.
There is a missing element of choice in our collective story, because we are dissuaded from the abundance of choices we have, and are distracted with false binaries.
Whether it's Kings or No Kings, we are missing the meaning of the message: our Sovereignty is not an externality for others to claim.
In this episode, my candid thoughts takeover to dissect the recent protests, psy-ops and pleasantries that are seeding dissonance where there otherwise can be coherence.
The choice is entirely ours.

Returning to report on the ways to flip the script on our limiting language...
We have been confronted with the do-or-die, til-death-do-us-part, all-or-nothing binary banality of our culture... was it always this way? Will it ever be?
I intend to rewrite our communication program with pattern interruptions that shift our conscious creations toward more growth, life, prosperity...
A Hill to Grow On is a place where we take a stand - yes - and enrich the soil with our livelihood (a means of securing the necessities of life). When pushed up this hill by challenging circumstances, we then turn sh*t into something that supports life ... in one end, out another type of thing!
This place is anywhere you choose to elevate your values to a real standing in your life - by caring, by deciding.
These are the themes I explore here, and beyond...

100 episodes ... no small feat considering all the starts-and-stops along the way
You would be surprised how easy it is to disregard any accomplishment, any achievement that we perceive to be a worthy goal. We have a reflex to simply say, "Yeah, I did it like I said ... now what?"
So I am training a new muscle: one of celebration and acknowledgment to support continued growth, leading to even more occasions to celebrate and acknowledge the fruits of my creative labors of love.
In this installment of the podcast, I reflect on the various corners of my interest-web, touching on several themes that revolve around bringing parts of the whole into unison, and recognizing the whole of which we are part.
This is another launch point for all that is to come ... thank you for your attention and curiosity.
We go... INWARD | UPWARD | ONWARD

Do you observe holy days? Or do you ride the wave of holidays?
I think we've all done both over the course of our lives: being mystified and excited by holidays, and then caught up in the sheer repetitive, mundane expectations of holiday commitments.
Much of this has been manipulated by the monster of Commercialism, which has turned the nobler elements of certain celebrations into yet another occasion to buy, to consumer, to discard...
Thankfully, Lara Day has embraced her mission as an advocate for more meaningful, truly sacred commemorations of Nature's cycles.
Lara's 13 Sacred Nights have had a profound impact on my life, not least of all because it was one of my dalliances with an oracle deck. In this episode, I share two stories about my experiences that verified the veracity of their wisdom.
We also discuss:
Massive gratitude to Lara for sharing her insights and experiences. I'm happy to share her work HERE as a new call to action to reclaim the spiritual experience of our holy and historical days within the cycle of our Year.

"Are you watching closely?" This chilling phrase from the fantastic film The Prestige reminded me that even if our attention is fixated on the performance, we are liable to miss out on so much more...
While our attention and awareness can seem limited, it is our discernment that is needed now in spades to win the games being played without our conscious consent.
One such game is the Us vs. Them game that, at our core, no one wishes to participate in, because to win or lose means death.
In today's episode, there's a feeling that balances the recent quantity of despair with the qualities of discernment, cultivated through physical and spiritual practices of Inner Vision.
Tom's Tip: treat your Eyes to more sunlight, and use the outdoor time to train your eyes to see near, far, and wide...

'Tom's Truth' episodes are short(er) reflections on current events, trends, ideas, imaginings, techniques and more...
The brevity aspect is a good standard for information that is useful and timely, so I hope you enjoy this shallow dive into the Pool of Podcasts.
In this edition, I share some anecdotes about the power of Smell: how we dull our energetic senses whenever we suppress the environment in and around us.
True Tip: ditch the toxic soaps, detergents, lotions, deodorants and sprays -- watch your energy RISE!

There's a shortlist of people these days with whom I can stoke the fire of a hot-topic conversation like Major tennis ... Emily is on that list.
If you find yourself in a casual fling with tennis, or in a full-on love affair, there will be ample pieces for you to chew on throughout this conversation. Emily's dynamic ability to turn perspectives all the way around keeps the stale world of tennis media fresher than ever.
I always appreciate someone who is willing and able to share their informed opinions on the overlap between sport and culture, which has a unique way of capturing attention and leaving a mark on the world for a spell ... We take it upon ourselves in a playful way to discuss some ways in which Tennis gives us reasons to do things the same as ever, or differently than before, depending on the score of the game...
As we look back at the recently-concluded US Open, we magnify the details of several shades of this season finale, including:
Massive thanks to Emily as ever. The Tennis season is basically 11 months, so stick around for more COURT content.

From my very first virtual impression of Topher Gardner, I deemed him to be a bonafide Renaissance Man.
Now, after speaking with him at length, I think he would describe himself simply as a Man...
A Man is not one thing, one energy: he is tasked with his own sculpting to create stability, respect and impact in his world. Through the adventures of 50 years in this incarnation, Topher has lived several lifetimes and channeled those experiences into his several passion pursuits of bodywork, Dome-construction, podcasting and more...
In this connection, I found myself thoroughly enjoying some good ole-fashioned Ball Talk - just a couple of guys rapping about athletics, performance and competition, all through a slightly more elevated lens than if we were drinking Coors Lights on a Friday Night in Lansing. With that said, there is a depth to Topher's insights that has always enriched my sense of enjoyment whenever I listen to him speak, and this podcast is no different.
And still - it feels as though we barely scratched the surface of the deep roots of Topher's story, so I readily expressed my intention for a follow-up conversation because - I believe - this listenership would reap a massive reward for having heard Topher's singular and alternative perspectives on the current culture, modernity, masculine-feminine energetics, and much much more...
For now: I beseech you - nay, I implore you - to visit www.topherHQ.com and familiarize yourself with Topher's offerings, most notably this upcoming workshop in The Ozarks over Labor Day Weekend: https://beartariacampgrounds.com/dome/
An extraordinary opportunity to learn the ins, outs and in-betweens of the merits of building Domes (you can see the one he's finishing now in the HCH Telegram)!
This is an historic episode for me, not because of the number - because of the quality that this platform encourages me to circulate among any and all listeners. Free energy is abundant when we speak like this...

There is an overwhelming surfeit of options for where we invest our energies ... and yet, we have the amazing power of Choice to direct our currencies ONLY to the places and people we prefer.
Preference is a valuable choice - but is it rooted in what is popular, trendy, or widely approved? Or is it organic, wholesome, and special to our experience?
So, with convenience and coercion rampant, how can we curb our appetites to the simplest forms of pleasure...
One basic principle is to SUPPORT WHAT YOU LOVE - NOT WHAT YOU HATE!
Whether it's food, clothing, experiences, media ... less is more, and the whittling-down process to our genuine favorite things becomes even more worthwhile!
Discernment is the hallmark practice to determine what is deserving of your love; Enthusiasm is how we engage to support the vitality of the good, true and beautiful...
Enjoy these reflections at your Summertime leisure... plenty more gems to be shared from the Tom Foolery Treasure Chest!
