Sometimes, we go deep. Sometimes, we get sarcastic. And sometimes, we process life’s biggest questions with a game show buzzer in hand and just the right amount of irreverence. At its core, Humans, Forward! is about moving forward—not with gimmicks but with hard-earned wisdom and a healthy dose of humor. Because there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to being human—it’s messy, unpredictable, and honestly, kind of hilarious.
If you’re tired of expert advice and craving something real, relatable, and unfiltered–this is your place. Expect wit, wisdom, and a little bit of wonder as we navigate the highs, lows, and WTF moments of being human.
Being human is weird. One minute you’re questioning your entire existence in the frozen food aisle, and the next, you’re journaling about your life’s purpose like you’ve got it all figured out.
That’s where Humans, Forward! comes in. It’s an honest, engaging, and refreshingly real take on what it means to be human today. Part late-night talk show, part podcast, part 2 AM heart-to-heart with your best friend—but without the self-help clichés.
Whether we’re unpacking life’s complicated lessons, figuring out how to deal with the good and the hard stuff, or laughing about why we all overthink sending a text, Humans, Forward! keeps it real, vulnerable, and human. We’re about the journey, not the jargon.
The show that makes being human feel less complicated.
THE HUMANS, FORWARD! Show
You want to live with meaning and impact—but without the toxic hustle culture, fake positivity, or self-help clichés.
You believe personal growth isn’t a straight line—it’s full of pivots, detours, and unexpected “what am I even doing?” moments.
You love hearing real, unfiltered stories—the wins, the failures, the lessons, and the hilarious missteps along the way.
You’re a deep thinker with a sense of humor—curious about life, growth, and the messy magic of being human.
THIS IS THE show FOR YOU IF:
You know that evolving as a human is complicated—but you're here for the ride, ready to learn, laugh, and move forward anyway.
I dove deep into the personal development world, only to find the same recycled, one-size-fits-all advice on how to live, hustle, and succeed. But personal growth isn’t personal if it ignores the actual human in the equation. The truth? The same formulas didn’t work for me—especially when life got hard. My entire perspective had to shift. If I wanted to build a better life, better businesses, and have a real impact, I had to rethink everything and become human-forward in the way I live, work, and grow. And that’s what I want for you too.
And I'm a endlessly curious human trying to figure out, well… humans. What makes us successful, fulfilled, disappointed, or stuck? How do our experiences shape us? And more importantly—how do we human better?
