Episode 27 : Alec Gewirtz

Today's guest is Alec Gewirtz. When I first got to know Alec 14 years ago, we shared a love of words and writing (as well as basketball), but as you will learn there was also a kindred connection that suggested we would someday reconnect in ways that pushed us into a deeper understanding of what it meant to be human. Here is that conversation. 

 

One really interesting element of this conversation is that we shared it all the way back in September, but I'd hoped to schedule a follow-up conversation to talk about

The Nearness

Alec is a co-founder of this fascinating community which is best described in the words shared on their website:

"More and more people want to define what spirituality looks like for them—and find friends along the way.

We want wise guidance without dogma, structure without rigidity, and, more than anything, we want connection—with ourselves, others, and something greater than us.

We started The Nearness to offer a space that does just that. We’re excited you’re here."

 

Enjoy the conversation here, check out The Nearness, and look forward to the possibility of a round two conversation with Alec (about Spirituality and Basketball, perhaps...).
