My own gray sponge has been saturated and shaped by so many incredible thinkers. This is a podcast where I share the stories of those minds who have inspired mine. From philosophers, poets, musicians, artists, scientists, athletes, and more, I invite listeners to learn a bit more about seekers from the past... and more. Along the way, catch words of wisdom; coalesce with this universal consciousness and continue to grow too. I’m super grateful to you for liking and sharing this podcast. If you’d also like to support me with a no-gift-too-small donation, beautifulgraysponge.com.
