Podcast Of The Week: David Senra In Service Of Founders

David Senra made an Invest Like The Best appearance discussing what he’s learned doing Founders, particularly over the past year (since that’s when most of us discovered him, courtesy of Patrick O’Shaughnessy anyway).  Here’s 5 favorite highlights from my notes - and man, Senra is such a force of nature, I could write a post … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: David Senra In Service Of Founders →

Podcast Of The Week: Questlove On Conan

Questlove has said for a while how Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend may have saved his life during the pandemic. Not only do I find that relatable, but seeing as Quest and Conan both factored heavily into my pandemic and post-pandemic not dying experience, I was so excited when this crossover episode appeared in my … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Questlove On Conan →

Podcast Of The Week: Super Cat And Don Dada’s Lasting Influence

Sometime in middle school, whenever Ini Kamoze’s “Here Comes The Hotstepper” took over the radio, I ended up getting a cassette dancehall compilation - possibly from a Philly gas station - that blew my mind.  Ninjaman, Buju, Super Cat… I kind of got obsessed.  Which is a weird flag for a suburban middle school kid … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Super Cat And Don Dada’s Lasting Influence →

Podcast Of The Week: Rick Rubin And Rory Sutherland

How many times have I talked about Rick Rubin? Click here. One of my favorite producers of all time. The guy knows how to LISTEN. What about Rory Sutherland? Click here. One of my favorite marketers. Modern David Ogilvy. And a source of so much behavioral economics and evolutionary psychology - I so adore him. … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Rick Rubin And Rory Sutherland →

Podcast Of The Week: Pee Wee On The Dating Show (And Conan’s Eulogy)

Was he weird? Yes. Kind of a genius? Absolutely. I’ve previously discussed Paul Reubens’ mastery in “Pee Wee And Establishing Range.” I know this clip isn’t a podcast. I also know the audio isn’t great. But in the tradition of weird genius and crossover absurdity, here’s Pee Wee making an appearance on The Dating Show … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Pee Wee On The Dating Show (And Conan’s Eulogy) →

Podcast Of The Week: The History of GWAR

GWAR being described as, "a punk rock Disney" is too good. They really are one of the great, under-covered business stories. I can't stop thinking about the This is Jericho podcast interview and this documentary (trailer below). Oh, and check out this Dr. Michael Bishop Ted Talk too. The shared vision, creative execution, and sense … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: The History of GWAR →

Podcast Of The Week: Women’s World Cup Podcasts

The Women’s World Cup is underway. Which means I’m overly excited, sleep deprived, and daydreaming about trips to Australia and New Zealand.  Since my podcast consumption will be hampered by soccer-related podcasts for the next month or so, I might as well share some of my favorites to follow through the tournament: Quick intro to … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Women’s World Cup Podcasts →

Podcast Of The Week: What Happens When You Reply To A Scam Email?

My unsolicited and scammy feeling emails, texts, and phone calls are off the charts again lately. Sometimes, in my lower moments, I want to respond. But what would happen? As my buddy Kevin Alexander showed me, there’s a Ted Talk for everything. So here you go. James Veitch did it so we don’t have to. … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: What Happens When You Reply To A Scam Email? →

Podcast Of The Week: Kai Ryssdal With Prof G

A note I made while, apparently, listening to this episode that stopped me dead in my scroll this morning: Less respect for the institutions themselves. More respect for the people who make them up.  There’s a lot of good stuff in Scott Galloway's talk with NPR legend Kai Ryssdal on The Prof G Show. I’m … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Kai Ryssdal With Prof G →
