Summary
I am so thrilled to be speaking to Adam J. Kurtz (aka Adam JK) on the podcast about his new book, You Are Here (For Now), a collection of essays and art about life, and change, and you, and me, and all of us trying to just be more okay. Let me say I devoured this book and had room for seconds it was so good.
Tune in as Adam and I discuss the difference between living and truly being alive with all the paradoxes along the way. If the pandemic has taught us anything it’s that we both have a lot of time and we don't. We know enough and also don’t have a clue. Nothing is permanent and if you’re evolving you’re doing something right, but being busy is not a personality. Like I said, paradoxes abound. Let’s get more comfortable with it all together in this amazing interview.

| 0:41.9 | This guest has been on my list to talk to for years and it was so fantastic to finally get to sit down and chat with him. |
| 0:51.8 | This week, I am talking with Adam J. Kurtz, also known as Adam J.K. |
| 0:56.1 | on all the internets. If you've been around these parts for a while, I am sure that you have seen |
| 1:01.5 | Adam's work. It is honest and irreverent and vulnerable and true and real. And we had such a fantastic conversation about Adam's new book, |
| 1:14.6 | You Are Here for Now. It's actually, You Are Here asterisk for now. And this book comes out next |
| 1:22.1 | week if you are interested. I devoured the book. And like immediately when I got on the call with Adam to do the interview, |
| 1:31.3 | was just gushing with gratitude over the way that he approached a book, that he wrote this book, |
| 1:38.8 | his honesty in writing the book, sharing his stories, and being willing to write a book that doesn't give |
| 1:47.7 | all the answers, right? Being willing to write a book that embraces paradoxes of everything mattering |
| 1:55.2 | and like, maybe it all doesn't matter. What are we doing here? I don't know, but this moment is |
| 2:00.6 | really beautiful and this moment is all we have.? I don't know, but this this moment is really beautiful, |
| 2:01.3 | and this moment is all we have. And I think that what he has done is really articulated things |
| 2:06.7 | that so many of us are grappling with all the time and especially right now during this season |
| 2:14.5 | that we are in. This book is a candid collection of essays and art in Adam's signature style. |
