About
The Everything Experiment™ is a weekly podcast exploring what happens when you step out of autopilot and fully into life.
Through honest conversations, lived experience, and open-ended curiosity, the show explores how presence, awareness, and real-world engagement can reveal who we are, and what becomes possible when we actually pay attention.
This isn’t a show about fixing yourself or finding all the answers.
It’s an invitation to slow down, get curious, and explore life as it’s happening.
Who This Is For
The Everything Experiment isn’t about optimization or hustle.
It’s about noticing what changes when you show up fully.
-
Life can start to feel like a series of days strung together: busy, full, and technically “fine,” yet somehow disconnected.
This isn’t about burnout or collapse.
It’s about noticing when speed has replaced presence.The Everything Experiment creates space to slow the internal pace, to reflect, recalibrate, and remember what it feels like to actually be inside your own life again.
-
Not the kind of growth measured in metrics or milestones, but the kind that changes how life feels.
This is for people who want to ask deeper questions:
Why does some progress feel hollow?
What actually brings meaning?
Who am I becoming through experience, not intention?
The podcast explores growth as something that unfolds through curiosity, lived experience, and attention: not pressure or performance.
-
You appreciate conversations that don’t rush to conclusions, the kind that leave space for nuance, reflection, and honesty.
These aren’t debates or hot takes.
They’re explorations.Each episode is an invitation to think alongside someone else, to follow an idea, a story, or a moment wherever it leads, without needing it to wrap up neatly.
-
At some level, you know life isn’t just something to manage, it’s something to engage with.
Exploration doesn’t always mean travel or adventure. Sometimes it means trying something unfamiliar. Sometimes it means paying closer attention to what’s already here.
The Everything Experiment treats life itself as the terrain, and curiosity as the compass.
What We Explore Together
Each episode is a space for curiosity-driven exploration: sometimes solo, sometimes with guests, centered around questions like:
What does it actually mean to live a full life?
How do presence and attention change our experience of the world?
What happens when we choose curiosity over autopilot?
How does lived experience reveal identity over time?
Conversations span culture, creativity, travel, mindset, and the everyday moments that quietly shape who we become.
There are no formulas here, just honest exploration.
About Austen
I’m Austen LeTourneau, a podcast host, speaker, and lifelong explorer of what it means to live fully.
For a long time, I moved through life on autopilot: doing what was expected, checking the boxes, and slowly realizing I wasn’t fully present in my own experience.
At some point, curiosity took over.
I began asking better questions.
I started paying attention to how life felt, not just how it looked on paper.
And I realized that real growth doesn’t come from answers alone, but from experience.
The Everything Experiment grew out of that realization.
I don’t show up as an expert with a playbook.
I show up as a participant, exploring life in real time and sharing what I learn along the way.
The Philosophy Behind It All
The core belief behind The Everything Experiment is simple:
Experience reveals identity.
We don’t discover who we are by thinking harder, we discover it by engaging with life, trying things, staying curious, and being present for what unfolds.
The podcast is a place to reflect on that process openly, honestly, and without pretending there’s a finish line.
Life itself is the experiment.
Beyond the Microphone
Alongside the podcast, I share Field Notes: short reflections, insights, and behind-the-scenes moments from the journey.
Some come directly from conversations on the show.
Others come from life as it’s unfolding in real time.
It’s all part of the same exploration: staying curious, staying connected, and learning out loud.
Speaking & Live Conversations
The ideas explored on the podcast also come to life through speaking engagements and live conversations.
In talks and workshops, I share stories, insights, and moments gathered through The Everything Experiment, inviting audiences to reconnect with curiosity, presence, and what makes life feel meaningful again.
