Standing Nowhere

Jacob Buehler

Standing Nowhere: Honest conversations about life, faith, and whatever's on my mind. A podcast for people who don't fit neatly into one box. Host Jacob Buehler, a working father and longtime meditator, talks about life as it's actually lived: solo reflections, conversations with guests, what's happening in the world, and the occasional detour into movies, music, and art. Spirituality is still part of the mix, from mindfulness to the big questions about trust and meaning, but it's one thread, not the whole show. Some episodes are loose and unscripted. Some are deeper dives. All of them are honest. No dogma. No guru pedestals. No niche. If you've ever questioned everything and found some peace in not knowing, or you just want company on the drive, this is for you.
