Before Septemics
A poem by Jim Marshall
If one can split the atom, and harness it for peace of war,
What riches must await one behind one’s own cerebral door?
If one could measure wishes, dissect them and preserve them well,
What barrier could stop one, no human mind could hope to tell,
There must be a Way…
Traveling by night, groping for ten thousand years,
Deaf, dumb and blind, wading through madness and fears,
Some chosen few searching for path still unknown,
Seem to have found some secret route of their own,
There must be a Way…
The psychiatric scalpel imbedded in a living brain,
Has only served to show us: there’s more to Man than blood in vein,
The ancient myths and legends of sacred lore and mystery,
Have shaken our belief in the narrative of history,

In this episode of "The Prestigious Initiative," host Chris Bean explores the difference between a successful person and a fulfilled person, guiding listeners through the process of designing a life that brings true fulfillment rather than just external success. By adopting the roles of a conscious creator and strategic architect, you can curate your time and attention to align with your core values and create a more meaningful existence.
What if the biggest obstacle to your growth isn’t your marketing, your team, or your product — but your relationship with your numbers?
In this episode, Chris sits down with Nate Littlewood — former Wall Street analyst, bootstrapped founder of Urban Leaf, and host of Profits on Purpose. Nate now works with 7-figure eCommerce and CPG founders to help them stop avoiding their financials and start using them as a strategic advantage.
They break down the four stages of building a healthier relationship with your business finances, why ignoring your numbers quietly costs millions, and how smart founders use finance as a compass — not a constraint. This conversation goes beyond spreadsheets. It’s about identity, purpose, and making decisions that scale both your business and your life.
Logan Miller is the creator and host of Now Streaming, a refreshingly simple and honest podcast where conversations happen in kayaks instead of studios. No scripts, no production tricks — just real people talking about real life while floating on water.
In this episode, Logan and Chris talk about the creative courage it takes to start something before you feel ready, why committing to hard things builds character, and how stepping away from perfection can lead to deeper connection. They explore the genesis of Now Streaming, the vulnerability of putting unfinished ideas into the world, and what happens when you choose meaning over metrics.
This is a conversation about creativity, friendship, discipline, and why the best projects often start with nothing more than an idea you can’t shake.
