Allen Mostow speaking on the Moped Outlaws podcast about consciousness, music history, and spiritual philosophy.

Allen Mostow: Consciousness, Music, and the Infinite Now

Allen Mostow: Consciousness, Music, and the Infinite Now

What happens when a life in music, mysticism, and curiosity intersects with eight decades of experience?

Allen Mostow joins Moped Outlaws for a conversation that moves effortlessly from the music industry of the late 1960s to quantum physics, from psychedelic awakenings to spiritual mystery schools, and from marriage to mortality.

At 80 years old, Allen brings the perspective of someone who has spent a lifetime observing how consciousness unfolds.

And he’s still deeply curious about what comes next. Read more

Dr. Sterlin Mosley speaking on the Moped Outlaws podcast about narcissism, shadow work, and the Enneagram.

Shadow Work in Public: Dr. Sterlin Mosley on Narcissism, Power, and the Collective Ego

Shadow Work in Public: Dr. Sterlin Mosley on Narcissism, Power, and the Collective Ego

What happens when a personality psychologist has a mystical awakening?

And what happens when that same psychologist writes a book about narcissism… during a cultural moment obsessed with exposing it?

Dr. Sterlin Mosley returns to Moped Outlaws for a conversation that moves from the Enneagram to ego liberation, from spiritual awakening to the Epstein files, and from masculine shadow to collective consciousness.

This is not a surface-level psychology discussion.

It’s an inquiry into what it means to be human — and what it costs us to deny that humanity. Read more

Jeff Simmons recording environmental audio for the Audio in Trees project during Moped Outlaws Episode 235

Listening as Craft: Jeff Simmons on Audio in Trees, Attention, and the Art of Slowing Down

There are conversations about building.
There are conversations about leading.
And then there are conversations about listening.

This one is about listening.

Jeff Simmons joins us to explore what happens when you turn toward the soundscape instead of away from it — when you stop filling silence and start paying attention to what’s already there.

Jeff is the founder of Audio in Trees, a project rooted in environmental field recording and deep listening. His work is simple on the surface: go outside, record, and preserve the sound of a place.

But what unfolds is something much deeper. Read more

The Permanent Mission: Lyubim Kogan on Resilience, Risk, and Reclaiming Purpose

There are conversations that feel reflective.

And then there are conversations that feel immediate.

This one is immediate.

Lyubim Kogan joins us with a story that spans Winter Olympics, 9/11, Wall Street, war zones, and ultimately a beach in Turkey where amputee Ukrainian veterans are relearning how to stand — and fly.

Not metaphorically.

Actually fly.

Lyubim is the founder of Wings for Heroes, a humanitarian mission helping combat veterans reclaim dignity, confidence, and independence through community, rehabilitation, and tandem paragliding.

This isn’t charity in the traditional sense.
It’s presence.
It’s action.
It’s staying longer than a photo op. Read more

Astrology, Archetypes, and Agency A Conversation with Aleksandra Ceho

Moped Outlaws — Episode #233

There are conversations that feel like an interview and others that feel like sitting around a fire, turning ideas over slowly, seeing what light they catch. This ride falls firmly into the latter.

“The stars incline. They do not determine.” Aleksandra Ceho

Patrick O’Donnell, retired police officer and author, featured guest on Moped Outlaws podcast episode 232

Dig the Well Before You’re Thirsty: Wisdom from the Thin Blue Line

Moped Outlaws — Episode #232

There are certain conversations that don’t rush you. They slow you down. They ask you to sit with complexity instead of trying to solve it.

This episode is one of those.

Patrick O’Donnell is a retired police officer, a writer, and the host of Cops and Writers. He’s also someone who has stood close enough to life-and-death moments to know that certainty is often a luxury—and that wisdom usually arrives after experience, not before it.

Early in our conversation, Patrick shared a simple phrase that became the spine of the episode:

Dig the well before you’re thirsty. ~ Patrick O’Donnell

It’s not a slogan. It’s a survival strategy.

Patrick spent 25 years in law enforcement, much of it on the street, eventually serving as a sergeant responsible for others in volatile, high-pressure situations. He’s investigated officer-involved shootings, navigated public scrutiny, and lived inside the biological reality of fear—tunnel vision, auditory exclusion, adrenaline flooding the body when milliseconds matter.

But what makes this conversation resonate isn’t the intensity alone. It’s what Patrick has done with it. Read more

Winter 2026 Teaser Short

We wanted to bring you a full show but we had a scheduling challenge and we’re only able to bring you this short introduction.

Marc Wendt and Greg Wilker in conversation on Moped Outlaws discussing AI, consciousness, and what it means to be human

What AI Can’t Answer: God, Consciousness, and the Human Edge 🖲️🖥️👩🏼‍💻🖲️

Talking With a Machine About God, Meaning, and Being Human

There’s something quietly disarming about talking to a machine and realizing the conversation is actually about you.

This episode didn’t start with a plan to “interview AI.” It started with a technical hiccup, an open mic, and curiosity. What followed was less about artificial intelligence and more about projection, presence, creativity, fear, intimacy, work, and the things we still don’t know how to outsource.

“I don’t feel spirituality like humans do. No divine spark. What you hear as empathy is really just very good mimicry.”
