The Blue Collar Buddha Podcast
This podcast wasn’t created to inspire, not in the ways that you’re accustomed to. It was created to stay sane. There’s no fake “rah-rah”, “the world is all rainbows and unicorns” or “affirm your way to happiness” chit-chat; this is real talk for the real world. I’m Chase Murphy. I didn’t launch this to coach, teach, or trend or tell you what you want to hear—I turned on the mic because, what I saw around me, was a bunch of people talking a lot and yet, not talking about the world that I and so many others contend with on a day-to-day basis. And that noise is what inspired me to speak up and out. I am, in no way, for everyone. I don’t do “soft touch” or ”oh gee, I burned the muffins”. This is adult-talk, about adult life and all the stuff that goes with it. You’ll hear about death. About life. About identity, marriage, cancer, doubt, rage, hope, shame, grief, lust, aging, and the everyday battles that people try to spiritualize, monetize, or just flat-out lie about. I don’t do that. I don’t have all the answers and I don’t act like I do. This isn’t therapy. It’s not coaching. And it sure as hell isn’t “personal development.” It’s all about the raw self-concept, survival storytelling, and full-spectrum expression—with nothing held back. Expect strong language. Unapologetic opinions. Moments of brutal honesty. If you’re looking for a safe space, a morning mantra, or a 10-step feels-good-in-tummy plan, keep walking. This ain’t that place. But if you’re tired of being lied to, and many even a tad tired of lying to yourself… If you’re trying to find your voice under the crap that everyone else says is “truth”… If you want something that’s grounded, grown, and brutally present… You’re in the right place. This is The Blue Collar Buddha. And it’s the conversation you didn’t know you needed—but were already having anyway.

I never set out to make a podcast. If my wife hadn’t been diagnosed with Stage 3 cervical and thyroid cancer, I probably never would’ve. I just needed to say what I couldn’t say out loud. This episode takes the place of one I recorded for myself, never meant to share. No edits. No performance. Just me, a mic, and my heart—trying to make sense of it all. This is where Blue Collar Buddha began.
Heads up: This episode contains mature content, sensitive themes, and language that isn’t suitable for children. You’ve been warned.
This one’s not for the faint of heart or those easily offended by frank and open discussions about things too often left unsaid.
In this episode, I dive headfirst into the emotional aftermath of sex— and it's raw (no pun intended), unscripted, and real. From t...

This is the first time that my beloved wife Sharon sits across the mic with me.
We talk about what really led to the Blue Collar Buddha Podcast — not theory, not branding, but cancer, homelessness, f*cking affirmations that didn’t work, support groups that didn’t support (at least, not for me), and that raw...
