About this episode

We often take the wonders of existence for granted—the way we move, think, and create. In this episode, I explore the invisible structures shaping our lives, the interconnectedness of knowledge, and the beauty of human expression across cultures and disciplines. From philosophy to photography, fitness to art, everything we learn feeds into a deeper understanding of the world. Let’s reflect on the marvels of being alive.
