The World Is Still Magic

Tom Franklin was born in Baltimore Maryland in 1980. A man of many interests and talents Tom joined the U.S. Army where he was sent to Germany. After his military stint Tom moved back to Germany where he started to learn guitar and started a band, also learning things like snowboarding, windsurfing and painting along the way. Also, while in Germany Tom started standup comedy. Tom quickly learned how hard the artform was and dedicated himself to it and found out he enjoyed talking and interacting with others more then he previously thought. When the pandemic struck Tom moved his family to Mexico where he now resides. He then started his podcast “The Eye of Jupiter.” He interviews people about all manner of high strangeness, be it the paranormal, Bigfoot, U.F.O.s and alike or fundamental yet mysterious concepts such as consciousness, spirituality, religion, and psychedelics. Tom uses light-hearted humor and laughter to tease out the realness of each of his guest’s stories, experiences, and personalities. So, get your popcorn, or cup of tea ready because “The Eye of Jupiter” will leave you hopefully feeling better and wanting more. Tom is currently doing standup in Spanish and is in the middle of working on his off-grid dream.

I met Tom via the Expanding Reality community and was inspired by his adventurous life and creative pursuits. He invited me on his Eye of Jupiter podcast, and, since Tom was new to astrology, we took a spontaneous look at his chart. As it turns out, he has both the Sun and Moon in Aquarius - a perfect reflection of his unconventional life, love of freedom, commitment to creativity, and interest in all things outside-the-box.

In our wide-ranging conversation, we got into:

• Tom’s massive transition from living a “normal life” in Germany to forging an off-grid homestead in the Mexican rainforest;

• The mind-opening, deprogramming influence of George Carlin and Bill Hicks;

• The addictive nature of standup comedy, and doing standup in Germany and Mexico;

• Tom’s paranormal experiences, including encounters with a poltergeist and Hat Man;

• Freedom, creativity and living life to the fullest as a double Aquarius;

• And much more!
