"We're always asking questions and the outer world is a reflection of those questions being answered, unfolding in linear time so we have the time to experience the answers."
-E.T. Allen, author, musician
Eric's story is one of embracing the unknown—of stepping into the Fool archetype, that curious wanderer who trusts that each twist and turn is part of a greater, unfolding mystery. A multifaceted individual, Eric is a storyteller, musician, world traveler, father, fiduciary, and farmhand, with two decades of experience in commercial banking. But his path doesn't fit neatly into any one box, and that's precisely what makes him such an inspiring guest and profound human being.
My conversation with Eric was filled with warmth, insight, and the kind of passion that arises from someone who has learned to deeply trust the mystery of life. His charming southern accent, paired with the rich personal stories he shared, invites you into his world in a way that feels both intimate and expansive. Eric's stories have a unique way of drawing you in, making you reflect on your own journey in the process.
In this episode, we dive into how Eric's life was transformed by unexpected occurrences that led him to explore new ways of being. His debut novel, Coincidence Speaks, is a testament to this journey, blending the personal and the universal in a powerful exploration of synchronicity and the spaces where our inner and outer worlds meet.
Eric's journey is a beautiful reminder that we don't always need a clear path to follow. Sometimes, the most transformative experiences come when we step off the map entirely, open to the surprises that await. His reflections on serendipity, creativity, and the "indescribable reconciliation" of holding opposites will leave you feeling inspired—and perhaps even more willing to trust your own uncertainties.
