Description

Thought Experiment Called Life is a podcast about unconventional living, creativity, self-discovery, resilience, mindset, and the courage to build a life on your own terms.

Hosted by Greta Hotmer, a musician, martial artist, herbalist, and lifelong creative, the podcast explores what it means to question the expected path, reinvent yourself, and create a meaningful life outside the usual script.

Greta sits down with artists, filmmakers, musicians, entrepreneurs, martial artists, healers, travelers, and other unconventional thinkers to explore the real, nonlinear process of becoming who you are. These are honest conversations about creativity, personal growth, mental and emotional wellness, resilience, relationships, identity, healing, chronic illness, mindfulness, the mind-body connection, self-trust, and living intentionally in an increasingly overstimulated world.

Featured guests include Taking Back Sunday uitarist and songwriter Fred Mascherino, Grammy Award-winning songwriter Kaydence, indie filmmaker Evan Alderson, former French Foreign Legion soldier turned hypnotherapist Nick Hughes, women's BJJ pioneer and high-performance coach Emily Kwok, blind filmmaker and artist Taylor Aguilar, Drummer of CKY Jess Margera, Slow Travel Lab founder Christy Capano, Krav Maga Alliance founder and instructor, John Whitman, and the list keeps growing.

These conversations go beyond conventional ideas of success and self-improvement. They explore what happens when people follow their curiosity, survive difficult chapters, take creative risks, change direction, and build lives that don't necessarily fit the traditional blueprint.

At its core, Thought Experiment Called Life asks: What happens when you follow the unconventional call of your heart and start creating a life that is uniquely yours?

Whether you're navigating a major transition, pursuing a creative life, questioning conventional ideas of success, rebuilding your relationship with yourself, exploring personal growth, managing chronic illness, or simply wondering if there’s another way to live, these conversations are an invitation to stay curious, think differently, make your own rules, and hopefully make this world a better place.
