The Examined Life
Khe HyHere’s a scary fact about adulthood. We stop asking questions. We lose the playful curiosity and creativity that we had as children. And it’s a shame. Questions are gateways to our deepest desires, insecurities and dreams. Reflecting on a deep question takes us one step closer to a life well-lived. Each week, we’ll ponder and debate one of life’s thorniest questions. We’ll explore ambition, career... more

- Every episode hits the spot!
Although I am not (yet!) a ‘post-achievement’ professional, Examined life speaks directly to where I am and where I want to go.

The host has to mute himself or something while his guests speak. His noises while the guest talks are very distracting.

Khe does a stellar job at bringing on a wide variety of guests and tackling some life questions that we should all be asking ourselves.
Apple Podcasts5Steiny Von SteinsteinUnited Statesa year ago - Insightful and Impactful
I have just begun listening to this show, and I have to say that it is incredibly thought-provoking and entertaining while simultaneously managing to be grounded. Mr. Hy has accomplished a great many things in his life, and often times, people who have accomplished as much as Mr. Hy come off like they are above you. However, Mr. Hy comes off more like a good friend offering guidance. I highly recommend this podcast.
