Intention Podcast with Byron DeLear
What's your intention? Engaging conversations that explore future-focused topics, technology, history, cultural and political trends -- and how they intersect with personal and family life. What are the core aims, drives, goals. We've been known to take a deep dive to get to the heart of the matter so be prepared to trade-in your snorkel-depth attention deficit for some conversational scuba gear. Of course, this is why we love podcasts, right? Film and music, clean energy, American history, esoterica, politics, and human evolution are just a few of the topics you'll hear here. Host and author Byron DeLear draws on his career-long walkabout through several diverse fields to illuminate with his guests the synchronicity of it all.
