In this episode I speak with Roman Gonzalez, a product and design consultant through his company Rad Plant Man Consulting. We discuss:
• How growing up as a curious Mexican-American in Corpus Christi shaped his intellectual path.
• His spiritual evolution from Catholicism to atheism to developing a materialist ecological spirituality based on nature's intelligence.
• The creation of Gardenio, his startup focused on accessible home gardening, and how plant cultivation deepened his ecological awareness.
• His commitment to supporting underrepresented founders in tech entrepreneurship.
• His work at Literati connecting children with transformative books.
• His exploration of UFO phenomena as a window into human metaphysics and our relationship with the unknown.
