A proposito di questo titolo

A podcast for curious people who like real conversations.

How to Be a Person is built around sitting down with someone and seeing where the conversation goes. No scripts, no real structure… just genuine curiosity.

We get into things like identity, relationships, beliefs, personal growth, and whatever else comes up when you actually let a conversation unfold instead of forcing it somewhere.

This show came from years of having unexpected, deep conversations with strangers… the kind that stick with you and make you see things a little differently after.

It’s not about giving you a bunch of advice or telling you how to live. It’s more about exposing you to different ways of thinking, so you can take what fits and leave what doesn’t.

If you enjoy long-form conversations that make you think, question things, and maybe see the world a little differently… you’ll probably like this.

  • #78 - Marit Welker // Going "No Contact", Concept Creep, and Emotional Responsibility
    Apr 20 2026

    What happens when a child cuts off their parent… and both sides feel justified?


    In this episode, Giuliano sits down with Marit Welker, a life coach who works with estranged Christian mothers… and someone who’s lived this from both sides. She’s been the child who blamed the parent, and the parent who got cut off.


    This conversation dives into one of the more uncomfortable trends happening right now… the rise of going “no contact” with family. And instead of taking a one-sided stance, it explores what’s actually underneath it. The pain, the misunderstandings, the language we use, and the ways people end up talking past each other instead of actually resolving anything.


    Marit breaks down what she calls “concept creep” (how words like trauma, abuse, and narcissism have expanded over time)… and how that shift can create more confusion than clarity in real relationships. The result is people using the same words… but meaning completely different things. And when that happens, it becomes almost impossible to fix what’s actually broken.


    The conversation also gets into emotional responsibility… what it actually means, where it applies, and where people get it wrong. There’s a difference between being hurt and being harmed… and understanding that difference changes how you approach conflict, boundaries, and healing.


    At the same time, this isn’t about dismissing real pain or pretending every relationship should be saved. There are situations where distance is necessary. But there are also a lot of situations where people walk away from something that could have been worked through… and end up carrying the same patterns into the next relationship.


    This episode looks at both sides of that reality.


    From parenting dynamics and identity… to therapy culture, expectations, and the difficulty of letting go… this is a conversation about what it actually takes to understand another human being… especially when it’s someone you’re closest to.


    And why that might be the only way forward.

  • #77 - Howard Minor // Identity, Upbringing, and the “Bag of Dice”
    Apr 17 2026

    What if your life isn’t just the result of your choices… but also a series of dice rolls you never made?


    In this episode of How to Be a Person, Giuliano sits down with author Howard Minor to unpack a simple but surprisingly powerful idea… the concept that each of us is walking through life with our own unique “bag of dice.”


    From where you were born, to your upbringing, personality traits, mental health, and life experiences, so much of who you are was shaped by factors completely outside of your control. But at the same time, there are still pieces you can influence… and learning to tell the difference might change how you see everything.


    This conversation explores how that balance between randomness and responsibility affects the way we approach personal growth, success, and even failure. It also opens up a deeper look at why people think, feel, and act so differently… and how understanding that can lead to more compassion, less comparison, and better relationships.


    Howard shares how this “bag of dice” framework came out of real-life challenges within his own family, including navigating trauma, mental health struggles, and the unpredictability of raising kids who each respond to life in completely different ways. Along the way, the conversation touches on identity, parenting, self-awareness, and the tension between control and acceptance.


    There’s also a fascinating detour into topics like Bitcoin, personal freedom, and how systems of control shape our everyday lives… tying back into the bigger question of what we actually have power over.


    If you’ve ever found yourself comparing your path to someone else’s, questioning why life feels harder for you in certain areas, or trying to make sense of other people’s behavior… this episode will give you a new lens to look through.


    Not to give you all the answers… but to help you ask better questions.

  • #76 - Kristen Crabtree // Emotional Sobriety, Finding Truth, and Living in Alignment
    Apr 10 2026

    Most people aren’t stuck because they don’t know what to do… they’re stuck because they’re living out of alignment with who they actually are.


    In this episode of How to Be a Person, Giuliano sits down with Kristen Crabtree for a deep conversation about identity, emotional patterns, and what it really means to find your truth.


    Kristen is an author and Certified Divorce Coach, and the creator of Paramour Paradox… a framework designed to help people move from adaptation to authenticity. But this conversation goes far beyond divorce or relationships. It gets into the core of how we experience life itself.


    They break down the idea of “emotional sobriety”… and how many people are unknowingly addicted to the chemical patterns of stress, anxiety, and even trauma. Not because they want to be… but because it’s what their body has learned to default to.


    From there, the conversation opens up into something bigger.


    Why so many people feel like life is constant effort…

    What it actually means to live in alignment…

    How awareness and mindfulness can completely shift your experience…

    And why the stories you tell yourself about your past might not be as “real” as you think


    They also explore how identity gets tied to roles… and what happens when those roles change or fall apart. Because for a lot of people, that’s the moment where everything starts to feel uncertain… but it’s also where something new can begin.


    This isn’t about fixing your life.


    It’s about understanding how your life is being created in the first place… and what changes when you start paying attention to that.


    If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected, or like you’re constantly working at life instead of actually enjoying it… this conversation will give you a different way to look at all of it.
