“You don’t need to lead the village—you just need to be a part of it.”
This week on No Street Lights Podcast, Aaron and Tim sit down with the incredibly grounded and compassionate Edward Walter Boze IV—an embodiment of kindness, presence, and soulful wisdom. In this episode, Ed shares how he built a life centered around community, love, and acceptance. Described by many as “the real-life Tom Bombadil,” Ed lives by the belief that we all have a role to play in each other’s healing, and that peace is not only possible, it’s something we can help each other find.
Together, we explore the idea of being the village—the support system we all need and deserve. Whether you’re navigating loneliness, searching for deeper purpose, or simply trying to live a more intentional life, Ed’s message will resonate with your soul. This is a conversation about emotional wellness, radical empathy, and the power of human connection.
