Who Thought We'd Be Here?

"Who Thought We'd Be Here" is a podcast about changing your mind, redefining the stigma around mental health, and living a vulnerable and productive lifestyle.

Both seeking answers from the Universe as they turned 30, co-hosts and longtime pals Steven Aigner and John Pugh found themselves improving in ways their younger and much more wild selves could have never seen coming. They began conquering and healing their past selves with unfamiliar mindfulness tools like meditation, yoga, breath-work, journaling, reading transformative books, and experimenting with mind expanding remedies.

Ignited by a passion to help others struggling with complex problems of their own and a desire to create a new narrative surrounding men's mental health in today's modern society, they created their first collaborative podcast "Who Thought We'd Be Here?" This podcast is all about exploring the boundless potential within ourselves, and to inspire each and every one of us to be fearless in our own unique human experience.

Their goal is to make mindfulness more accessible for folks all around the world, and express the genuine benefits of redesigning your life in a more thoughtful way.

We'd love for you to join us on this spiritual journey, as we try to shine a little light into what it really and truly means to be a good human in this Universe.

John Pugh

Co-Host John Pugh aka JP, is a 31 year old from Newburgh, NY and currently resides in the Hudson Valley. Since a young age, he was troubled by mental health issues such as
depression, anxiety, insecurity, and overthinking. During his 20's, he ignored exploring himself and instead sought out answers through the external world, finding temporary comfort in unhealthy relationships, harmful substances, and an unfulfilling career in the service industry.

In 2020, uncertain of what to hold onto in life, JP started seeing a therapist and healing the roots of his inner child that had made his true self unrecognizable as an adult. He began building a healthier inner world, a productive routine with meditation, leading to more compassion for others, and patience with the universe.

With a passion for film production and writing, JP sees the "Who Thought We'd Be Here?" as a way to express his creativity and hopes to inspire others to pursue
being their authentic self.

Steven Aigner, Co-Host of "Who Thought We’d Be Here?" is a 30 year old from Newburgh, NY and currently resides in NYC. In his mid 20’s, surrounded by the success and excess of the restaurant/bar industry, he developed an unhealthy and abusive relationship with alcohol and addiction.

At age 29, Steve realized a change needed to occur in his lifestyle for him to live the type of life he wanted to live and be the person he truly wanted to be. Through the discovery of self-care practices such as meditation, journaling, reading, and yoga, he has pointed his life in a positive and healthy direction and has transformed the way he carries himself in the world.

Now spreading awareness in support of mental health and mindfulness, Steve sees "Who Thought We'd Be Here?" as a medium to bring attention to the deeply human issues nearly every single one of us has experienced and he believes that change is possible no matter what path you're on in life.
