Altered Lens: Recent Episodes

Altered Lens is about seeing the world from different angles. People are complex, and culture is an expression of human complexity.

Looking at the world from another perspective, whether cultural, philosophical, or intellectual, will sharpen you as an individual. Whether you’re a leader, business owner, creative, or just trying to better yourself, you will grow as we take you on a journey to interpret the world around you.

Host: Nathan Stahlman

Hi! My name is Nathan Stahlman, and I’m the host of Altered Lens. I am so excited to bring you in on a little bit of the journey I’ve been on my whole life! I have been to more than 15 countries, I studied Business at Southeast Missouri University, I taught myself to write code and how to shoot video, and now I am a full-time freelance creative.

I have seen, heard, and read many things over the years that have shaped me as an individual. The biggest lesson I have learned is that everyone has something to learn from every situation they face, every culture they encounter, and every person they meet. I am going to share with you some of my experiences, as well as explore new things with you.
