Wandering Weirdly Ep. 2 - Permission to Wander Weirdly

Описание: In this episode of Wandering Weirdly, Annie Slade invites co-host Thomas Beutel into the spotlight to explore his winding, creative path.
Thomas shares what it was like growing up in an immigrant family and always feeling slightly outside the cultural mainstream. From collecting butterflies and tinkering with model trains to building an elaborate light-based art project inspired by the Exploratorium’s “Enchanted Tree,” this conversation explores how curiosity, creativity, and identity evolve over a lifetime.

Together, we talk about cyclical interests, unfinished projects, and why starting, pausing, and returning to ideas can be a natural (and healthy) way to wander. We also explore the deep connection between making things, inner exploration, and self-understanding.

In this episode, we explore:
Growing up feeling outside the mainstream
Creativity as a lifelong throughline
Cyclical interests and unfinished projects
The link between making, meaning, and inner exploration
Following curiosity for the joy of learning
