Close your eye for a moment. Imagine such an amorphous bubbles, take every form you wish, all in its fullness - vibrant colors, glistening glow in oneness - unveiling before you, just like dandelion seeds setting fly, around all different shapes and forms. That is today's guest, Alex's, 6-to-8, where his footsteps and bubbles, tread through Boston's corners, from the waterfront to the Atlantic shore, the winding Charles River nexus of the green oasis esplanade deck, to the historic streets of Cambridge MIT square. Children playing.Adults sticked to phone screen stop walking.People with picnic blanket chattering. Looking up, seeing the ways they move and touch people. The last time you played as a child? I remember over a year ago, coming across Alex beautiful bubbles by the seafront, I found myself back to childhood. The way they evoke awe and wonder, with a deep sense of possibilities.It felt like everything is possible. And you paint the canvas. The world, is like a big discovery comic wonder. In all its wonder shape and form. In this episode, our guest Alex took us back first to where it first started - the time abroad in that Spain public square, to being back like an alchemist through SoupMaker Wiki refining the recipe, to the first time making bubble at the parking lot, then debuting to the world as a bubbler.Each journey of the way, there is much to be discover. Alex find himself understanding and becoming in merging in one with the process. How it all reveals about himself, life, the big ideas and themes in between - impermanence, randomness, evanescent beauty, focal lens of discovery on what is there and what has been there, to crystal ball of present and future.
