What It Means To Be Authentically Creative (My Conversation With Justin Castelli)

Justin Castelli had me on his LifeDesign+ YouTube/Podcast to talk about Authentic Creativity.  This is easily one of my favorite recorded conversations I've had. Justin helped me organize a ton of thoughts (see the whole prior week's posts on "Authentic Creativity" to understand). Plus - we had fun. So much fun.  I had to share … Continue reading What It Means To Be Authentically Creative (My Conversation With Justin Castelli)

Podcast Of The Week: Jacob’s Ladder

I’m letting you in on a little secret: I’m working on something kind of big and ambitious this year. At the core of it, is the story of Jacob’s Ladder.  Yes, the one from the bible.  Oh, and this (I know, he’s had some frustrating moments) Jordan Peterson lecture.  If you know it, or if … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Jacob’s Ladder

Podcast Of The Week: Women In Refrigerators (Cursed Knowledge)

There’s a story trope where a female character is killed just to inspire a male character into action.  It feels sexist. It feels silly. But it’s so common, it’s a trope with it’s own name. With dedicated websites even. And podcast episodes.  And you know, at least at its core, all that murder’s got to … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Women In Refrigerators (Cursed Knowledge)

Podcast Of The Week: Q-Tip and Questlove

Podcast people with deep catalogs - this is me going on record saying this - I LOVE it when you re-share old stuff. Ok, and just to be clear, I am referring to the really cool old stuff. We're trusting you to know the difference.  I listened to this Q-Tip Questlove Supreme appearance years ago … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Q-Tip and Questlove

Saturday Morning Media: Charlie Munger At His Funniest

Of all the Charlie Munger memorials, and there are deservedly many, the rabbit hole I fell the farthest down was these compilation videos of his jokes.  Not because they’re just haha funny. Many are A-grade old man humor. But because many of them cut to profound truths.  One of my favorites from this round of … Continue reading Saturday Morning Media: Charlie Munger At His Funniest

Podcast Of The Week: Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) On Music, Life, And His Career

Yassin Bey, aka Mos Def, has a short Audible audiobook titled, “A Dynamic Career in Communications.” The music and stories are fantastic. Especially if you’re a fan. But he’s got some quotes.  This one on in particular, hit me hard. He was talking about church as a sacred and safe space in his childhood. He … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) On Music, Life, And His Career

Podcast Of The Week: Brendan Frazier’s 100th Episode

Brendan Frazier’s podcast, The Human Side of Money, recently hit its 100th episode. Clap with me. Maybe tell him we’re clapping for him too - this is a serious accomplishment.  While it’s mostly focused on people in the financial advising industry, his human-centric focus makes it much more broadly accessible. And anybody who does something … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Brendan Frazier’s 100th Episode

Podcast Of The Week: Jack Handey On Bullseye

Jack Handey declined his first appearance request on Bullseye with Jesse Thorn because he was worried he might sell too many books. Not because he didn’t want the revenue so much. Mostly because he and his wife have been hand boxing and mailing them, and it just wasn't a good time for a flurry of … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Jack Handey On Bullseye

Podcast Of The Week: Justin Castelli On Living Your Life

You might not be reading this on 11/11/23, but this video/podcast says life is as easy as 111123.  The heavy finger or stutter on the 1’s is real. You want it to go 123. But starting is hard. 111123 feels way more accurate.   Justin Castelli kicked off a series of live talks (out in Indiana) … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Justin Castelli On Living Your Life

Podcast Of The Week: Kenny Beats And Rick Rubin (Again!)

When Kenny Beats explains how he mailed cassettes and headphones, with no labels, notes, or explanations, to a bunch of his favorite music people… wild.  All he wanted was them to hear it. He had to make the packaging so curious somebody would press play. And it worked.  Guy could have had a marketing career … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Kenny Beats And Rick Rubin (Again!)
