Have you ever thought to yourself, "why are we the only species on planet earth who has to pay to live here?" It's not like we have a choice in the matter. Come to think of it shouldn't housing being a human right? After watching Canadian media outlets recount the forcible removal of homeless people from their encampments in public parks, it got me to thinking. People are spending money not only to leave planet earth but also to purchase "land" on lunar/extraterrestrial bodies. How can we place a price tag on extraterrestrial land let alone the land we are bound to? I don't know about you, but I think this is another age old question deserving some exploration.

So many times I've either been asked this question or have asked this question without fully appreciating how loaded of a question it is. What type of music do you listen to can be code for so many things! What personality type am I? Or what type of life did I grow up having? There's so many layers to both the question and the response, and many of us have yet to even explore them. Well until now! Tune in to the latest edition of the True Say podcast, as I peel back the a few of the layers of another age old question :) This edition of the True Say Podcast is sponsored by: Bean Bundle @thebeanbundle I wanted to take a moment to thank my sponsors at Bean Bundle, Canada's newest coffee subscription.

Tell me how much you know about developing habits? Good or bad. Many times we think about things like leaving your socks on the floor, or forgetting to change the toilet paper roll when it's finished when asked about habits. In this edition we look at bad habits at a societal level. How society and the power structures within them refuse to let bad habits die, like the unwillingness to relinquish privilege.

Breaking rules isn't bad when what you're doing is more important than the rule itself. Isn't that what someone once said? Well in this edition we talk about folks who've broken rules like Sha'Carri Richardson, LeBron James, and the folks who rioted on Capitol Hill. On each occasion these folks felt they were justified in their actions. The question is why and how come some were able to get away with the rule breaking whereas others weren't.

Trusaders, you have to sit down and stay awhile with me on this one. How far will one go in the pursuit of clout? At this point it seems there is nothing off limits.

So many things happened this week, there just wasn't one question we could cover in this edition. We tried to narrow it down to some of the major events that warranted conversation but we ended up tackling a number of mid boggling behaviours that just begged the question… why are we this way?

How many times have you dreaded the idea of having to rely on unemployment insurance in the event you suffer an involuntary job loss? I wonder if YouTubers, TikTokers, or former Viners had the same dread? Do they have these type of safety nets in place? Should folks who don't work in traditional settings be able to access these assistance programs? A boat load worth of questions I know, but join me as I walk through these thoughts in another edition of the pod!

How many times have you had some one bring to you a cockamamie idea that you thought would never come to pass? Take for example AirBnB. When you first heard of it did you laugh at the idea people would actually offer their homes to strangers for short term stays? Bet you thought the first person to talk about electric cars that run entirely off of battery power was nuts too! In this edition we unpack some of the underpinnings of this thinking and use a couple modern examples to reveal the true holders of the line between insanity and creativity.

What do I mean by ask permission or beg forgiveness? Think about all those parties you knew about during high school and wanted to go to, or that new release you really wanted to purchase, or that new edition vehicle that just came out that you have to have... Should you go ahead and make that decision without running it by a loved one and just beg forgiveness afterwards, or does it make more sense to ask for permission upfront? Better yet, what if the choice you're willing to make is for the betterment of others and you know you should do it whether or not you get someones approval?

"Well, just to play devils advocate..." How many times have you heard this in your life!? Too many to count. Trust me, I know exactly what you're thinking. Who asked anybody ever to play Devil's advocate? Funny there is some medieval origin to this age old idiom. Whether it be to pretend to be against an idea or position or to troll and derail a conversation, devil's advocates actually use to serve a purpose. Unfortunately, the modern day personality is usually just trying to hate or rain on your parade. Join me on this edition as we discuss what devils advocates are really trying to do when they enter a conversation with that famous line.

Honestly, why is it that all the bad things you try to avoid or work hard to stay away from are ever present? Whether it be good friends, good life partners, good jobs, even good tv shows are hard to come by. All we’re ever told is that anything good doesn’t come easy. In this edition, we push back! Why does it have to be that way? Shouldn’t good things come easy and bad things require work? The systems rigged and it’s about time we exposed this age old concept for what it really is!

It's an edition for the ages. We're traversing unchartered territory in this one. We use some well thought out examples provided by the novel spotlighted in the John Cusack classic "High Fidelity"... wait did I just write John Cusack classic? Nonetheless, we unpack questions about 'lightness' and 'weight". Like why is it we feel weighed down when we're sad? Of why do we always ascribe 'up' with good moods and 'down' with bad moods?

Sometimes the worst place to be in is in your own head. We fixate on events, mistakes, decisions for far too long to the point of feeling sick. Why do we allow insignificant things to bother us so much? There are so many people who came before us and have experienced the same things we go through and come out the other side stronger. But still, even with that preparation and knowledge we still allow ourselves to end up being our own worst enemies. Follow along as me and Mrs. True Say as we dissect this age old question.

We stand for national anthems, we serve our countries, we represent them at global competitions, the list goes on and on of the things we do for the countries we love. You’ve probably heard the old adage it’s not ‘ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country’. More and more I’m starting to think that was all a ruse. Wasn’t everyone supposed to contribute in some way to the public good? Have the majority of us forgotten what that even means?

Does that someone's opinion matter all that much to you? Well if it does, this edition of the podcast is for you. It's not uncommon we hold the opinion of others highly. Sometimes to our own detriment. If you need to sift through the many likely reasons why some opinions matter more than the others and who's opinions we should take lightly.

Don't let the number 13 fool you! This is another jam packed edition. Listen in and unpack the questions around the nature of talent and what it means to have your talent valued. Who determines what talents are valued? Why are some talents worth millions whereas others are completely dismissed? Fashion designers and fine artists both use canvasses and produce physical manifestations of their creativity. Yet one can be called avant garde and charge thousands of dollars for their works and another just makes pretty pictures. The reasons have always escaped me, but now I have a space to share them with you.

In this edition, we cover all of the fallacious rags to riches stories so many people claim to have lived.  You know, “Started From the Bottom Now I’m Here” type stories. How many times have you heard somebody talk about their struggle to achieve success or that they’re ‘self-made’ and they didn’t have any help?  When did it become so envious to make it seem like you've had no privilege or doors opened for you and were able to ascend to great heights through nothing but hardship?  Isn’t privilege something everyone wants to have? So why do so many privileged people try to lead you to believe they’re underprivileged?  All of this and more, using some famous case studies. So tune in for another jam packed edition!

Now if you look below this little blurb, you'll see a well written body of text, that seemingly looks like an ad. But is it? Maybe it's been placed there to lead you to believe it's an ad about Bean Bundle's coffee offerings. Or maybe it's been placed there to surreptitiously conjure 'Bean Bundle' in your mind the next time you think about coffee, or hear your cue to get a beverage in an edition of the True Say Podcast. Ads are all around us. As the days go on, they creep deeper and deeper into our personal spaces making them nearly inescapable. The minute daylight strikes your open eyes, up until you pull the covers up to your chin as you snuggle in bed ads are there closely watching you an arms reach away on your night stand. In this edition, we talk about the points in time over the last century when ads became more than just a means of raising product awareness, and turned into a subversive mechanism to hold our free will captive.

In this edition, we walk through one of the more simple questions. At least one that appears that way. With great power, comes great responsibility right? Isn't that what Uncle Ben said to Peter Parker? Leaders, influencers, bosses, colleagues, we all have power to some degree don't we? Well how do we use that power and when we achieve it how do we go about maintaining it? I promise this isn't an edition where we just pose a series of questions. But we do look t Nico Machiavelli (Author of The Prince) and Robert Greene (Author of 48 Laws of Power) for answers.

In this edition, we stumble on a classic question. One for the ages! The million dollar question to some even, depending on who you're asking of course. So, so many of us are yearning to know the secret to success. We search online, ask our neighbours, prod our peers, and more than likely look to those who we believe embody our own vision of success for clues. Funny enough with one simple search on Google, you're flooded with all too many secrets to digest! Tune in to hear more about who I believe the secret to success isn't as readily available as the world might make it seem.

Y2K? Ring a bell?!  Well in this edition we use a number of examples of how behaviours we exhibit in public, and now social media, can be contagious. More specifically the frenzied almost hysterical behaviours that are brought on by messaging of a pending doomsday. Everything from fighting off your neighbours in the department store toiletry aisle for the last Charmin package, all the way to stocking up on all  the can goods your hard earned dollar can buy. We look at this behaviour from the lens of group think, try and characterize it using the broken window theory, and lastly sprinkle in a little  Waterworld with Kevin Costner just to add some flavour! If you were just as perplexed by the toilet paper hype as I was, then tune in to muse alongside me as we unpack the social conventions and  historical events that shape the way we behave.

You've likely heard the saying before, "no good deed goes unpunished". Or "every good deed brings its own punishment" or maybe even "kindness brings its own punishment". The list goes on! In this edition we unpack this age old premise from a modern perspective. Is it a fallacy to believe that when you perform a good deed you'll be rewarded? In the 12th century Courtier Walter Map wrote, "...left no good deed unpunished, no bad one unrewarded". Join me as we discuss a few working examples of how this sentiment manifests in our everyday lives. Who knows, after this edition you may hesitate or second guess raising your hand to perform a good deed in the future!

Is perfect the enemy of good? Let this one sink in.. Voltaire, Aristotle, Confucius, even Quincy Jones knew achieving absolute perfection, was impossible. Increasing effort results in diminishing returns. The more energy you put in to try and produce that perfect picture or body of work, the further away from perfection you get because that additional effort just becomes inefficient. Sometimes we have to let go of that analysis paralysis, and instead of pushing ourselves to an impossible 'perfect,' and therefore getting nowhere, start giving 'good' an honest look. In this edition we look at how striving for perfection can deter you from the good using three key areas of our lives as working examples.

Why are there so many SOCs? Silent On Camera roles? Often times we see a timeline or feed of pictures and paint an entire story behind the picture. Is all the world really a stage? Is everyone just playing a role in this story we call Life? In the 5th edition of the True Say Podcast, your host True Say, unpacks an antiquated statement coined by the one and only William Shakespeare in his famous offering As You Like It. Except Shakespeare really believed all we can do is play the role that's been scripted for us. Modern day stages are virtual, and you can literally change your story with a simple tag. Tune in to once again to hear a new answer to a very old question.

Why do fail videos go viral? Why do we revel in others peoples despair? Have you ever headed out to a destination and met traffic? Not because everyone and their sister were on the road, but because all drivers were moving at a snails pace to allow enough time to gawk at an accident as they drove by it? There's got to be some psychology behind this! Tune in to find out why we all do it (present party excluded :p)

What does one sacrifice in the pursuit of the almighty dollar? Whats the cost of pursuing money?  In this edition your host, True Say, and inaugural guest, Brother True Say, dissect this thesis with call backs to ancient Greco-Roman empires and of course the vanity driven machine we all know as social media. Once again in another jam packed 43 minutes, True Say provides a new answer to an old question. Instagram: @thetruesaypodcast

I may be wrong, but I believe comedians are modern day philosophers. True say, let's start from the beginning, metaphorically speaking, and let me show you how I arrived at this conclusion. Jump into the second edition of the True Say podcast!

Have you ever questioned why Batman only covers half his face? Is it because he wanted to be readily identifiable by the police? Or was it strictly tactical? Did he wear a mask for the reason we're all wearing masks today? True say, I don't know exactly. But, I have a few ideas.

The True Say Podcast is a specualtive/alternative history podcast. Where I, True Say, speculate the relative importance of a specific event, incident or person. Each episode will have a journalistic approach, resembling an episode of 60 minutes, except I only use 43. Listen to the latest edition of my podcast to find out why!
