Why Am I

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Taylor Bikowski.  They are, and I quote: “a celestial starchild, learning from past lives, and changing the world with love and light.”  What I really see when I look at Taylor is what pure energy would look like in human form.  They are a self described neurodivergent who is putting in alllll of the work, and experimenting with some really interesting therapies.  I think the line that is going to stick with me was “my trauma was your Tuesday…”  woof.  At any rate, I hope you enjoy this enlightening conversation with Taylor.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Saskia Wilson-Brown.  Saskia has been in and around TV production for some time, even being part of the Silver Lake Film Festival in LA.  She’s also a great podcaster, and BTW has founded and runs the Institute of Art and Olfaction.  More than that she’s a driven artist that tears walls down so that people can connect with each other and connect with arts of all kinds no matter who wants to keep the secrets locked away.  She’s kind of a badass.  At any rate, I hope you enjoy this conversation with Saskia.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Anna Ream.  She came with an impressive list of “who she is”, but the highlights are: practicing artist, photographer, mother, wife, purchaser of things, and person of faith.  We discuss how photography is a super power that opens avenues through which Anna is able to examine herself, her life, and her feelings.  At the end of all of it she has a tangible object that can then help others along their path.  I hope you enjoy this chat with Anna.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Tanya Candler.  Tanya has lived a lot of lives: she was in the metal band Kitty in the 90s, was a dental technician for a little while, does voice acting and coaching, is an awesome podcaster, and a proud mama!  She pulls zero punches, takes zero ducks, always speaks her mind, but she’s very thoughtful, kind, and nurturing while she does it…quite an interesting set of traits.  I hope you enjoy this chat with Tanya.

Welcome to the warmup exercise for the Why Am I podcast called “the Fantasy Restaurant.”  In here my guests get to pick their favorite: drink, appetizer, main, sides, and dessert.  There are no wrong answers!  These dudes read the brief…some of their choices are straight out of Indiana Jones LOL.  I hope you enjoy this crazy meal with Mountain Head.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guests this go around are Ben and Kyle of the band Mountain Head.  This brotherly duo has what they describe as a psychedelic sound that’s always evolving.  That description not only fits the music, but also the men themselves.  We start with a DMT experience in a public park, move to talking about how the self is the biggest unused resource, and talk about changing habits.  These fellas are deep thinkers, and it’s going to take me some time to dissect everything we talked about.  At any rate, I hope you enjoy this chat with Mountain Head.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Corey Easley.  Cory is a man of many passions: he’s a fitness professional, hilarious podcaster, and a comic.  He’s also a nurturer, though I don’t think he would use those words…he’d likely say a motivator.  More than that he’s a work in progress.  He’s constantly trying to be a better version of himself and guess what, he wants to bring you along with him.  Go subscribe to his podcast “Corey has a podcast” right now, then come back and listen to this episode.  I hope you enjoy this chat with Corey.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Brian Brewer.  Brian and I go way back; we used to work together back in the early 2000s.  He’s one of the most introspective folks I’ve bet, but like most folks growth came at a price…or perhaps more accurately growth was a result of paying a price.  I tell you what…if you ever meet Brian, be sure to ask him about El Paso.  At any rate, I hope you enjoy this conversation with Brian.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Jafar Sandouk.  He’s a multi talented musician who writes all of his music, records each instrument, and then also does all of the post production himself.  It’s hard to imagine someone would want to do all of that themselves, until you realize that’s the one way he can truly communicate with others completely.  I hope you enjoy this chat with Jafar.
