Poe Ballantine: Embracing Life's Struggles and Feeding the Good Wolf

What makes this place great and what makes this place miserable is individualism. Quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think ring true.
Ever felt like life’s challenges are too much to handle? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with acclaimed writer Poe Ballantine to dive into the messy, beautiful journey of self-growth and overcoming adversity. Known for his soulful and humorous writing, Ballantine has seen it all—from addiction and homelessness to becoming a celebrated author. His works have graced the pages of The Sun, The Atlantic Monthly, and many more.
In this conversation, Ballantine opens up about his life experiences and the lessons he's learned along the way. He shares his thoughts on the power of beliefs, the impact of individualism, and the importance of observation in understanding what’s real. He doesn’t shy away from discussing the challenges of marriage either, offering candid reflections on how he navigates his own relationship struggles.
Throughout the episode, Zimmer uses the parable of the two wolves to frame their discussion, emphasizing the importance of feeding the 'good wolf' within us all. Ballantine’s insights remind us that no matter how tough life gets, we have the power to overcome our struggles by nurturing our better selves. If you’re looking for a conversation filled with wisdom, humor, and a touch of raw honesty, this episode is a must-listen.
