The Willing Fool
In The Willing Fool podcast, we ask questions and seek answers about the biggest questions of life--what is the meaning of life, what we should pursue and how. We question, think, explore, and discuss things that you care about but might not feel safe to say out loud. We consider this search for wisdom a sacred journey that we can take together.

Episode 3
What's in a name? We need words, categories, and labels to help us think and speak, but what happens when the categories and labels make it harder to think and communicate? In this episode, we explore how some of our well worn words can stymie our journey and tie up our attempts at deep communication into knots, especially when it comes to sensitive and important topics like the meaning of life. Is there any reason to hope we can find a way around the curse of language?
