Rainn Wilson moved to New York at 20 to be an actor, get the girl, and finally escape the rules of the Baha'i faith he was raised in. He got all of it.

Then he woke up at 3am asking what his life was even about.

That gap between "everything is working" and "I feel hollow" sent him back to the books he'd walked away from. Not just one. The Bible. The Koran. The Bhagavad Gita. The Dhammapada.

He wasn't looking for religion. He was chasing the one question underneath all of it: is any of this random, or does it mean something?

That search became the seed of SoulPancake.
