Don't be left out of the conversation
Here at HB, we work to continually bring new light to a diverse range of topics, all filtered through the lens and limitations of our own mental prowess.

Spirituality and philosophy for the modern mind.
Every generation that’s come before us has faced the same mental and emotional struggles with the world that we do. Our ideas, stresses, and fears have only changed aesthetically over the years; in essence they’re the same and have resulted in countless hours of deep philosophical meditation.
We’re blessed to have those thousands of years of spiritual understanding at our fingertips, in the form of writing and oral tradition, and now we take that tradition further by continuing the contemplation in the form of this podcast; open discussion and introspection, based on the world as it appears today and combined with the teachings of our elders.
Join us as we explore thoughts and ideas that challenge the heart and mind, and brace us for a better future for mankind.
