Ep 35: Cultured Boy is evolving.
This episode is a late-night honesty drop about leaving a cult, rebuilding my life, and now reshaping this show into something more real, more cinematic, and way closer to the action.
No more forcing episodes.
Just the most honest, human, story-driven work I can make.
If you’re into curiosity, culture, and people becoming themselves — you’re in the right place.
Stay curious.
