This has been my favorite podcast for the last few months. I’m a little bit of a movie nerd. These people are BIG movie nerds. I’m having so much fun eavesdropping. Most people will know Brett Goldstein from his role as Roy Kent on Ted Lasso. That’s certainly where I discovered him. But, there’s more … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Brett Goldstein’s Films To Be Buried With

Sam Zell’s Playboy Business
Sam Zell was known for his investment acumen. But Patrick O’Shaugnessy shared this quote on where one of his first business ideas came from: On one of my walks I discovered a newsstand underneath the “L” tracks. It was 1953, and a provocative new magazine called Playboy had just made its debut featuring Marilyn Monroe … Continue reading Sam Zell’s Playboy Business
Podcast Of The Week: Indre Viskontas’ Oliver Sacks Audiobook
Indre Viskontas, everyone’s favorite opera singing neurologist, did an audiobook series on the life and work of Oliver Sacks. It’s called Radiant Minds: The World of Oliver Sacks and it’s brilliant. Listen to each chapter like a podcast. It's presented this way (and it works really well). If you're unfamiliar with Sacks, think of a real … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Indre Viskontas’ Oliver Sacks Audiobook
Sunday Music: Check Yo Self
Before the WTF Ice Cube interview got me going all Dyson-hype on you, I was cutting my lawn and listening to a few of his old albums. If I hadn’t had the urge to check my self, I probably wouldn’t have listened to the podcast. “Know what I mean, know what I mean? Wink wink, … Continue reading Sunday Music: Check Yo Self

Podcast Of The Week: Kweli And Murs On El-P (And A Personal Story)
Ok YouTube algorithm. I really - and I mean REALLY - didn’t want to watch a video with “white rappers in hip-hop” in the title. But then I noticed it was Talib Kweli and Murs talking, and that said “white rapper” in question was El-P. Murs calls El, “My Chuck D.” Kweli says El laid … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Kweli And Murs On El-P (And A Personal Story)
The Serendipity Of Ice Cube (WTF)
You never know what you're learning today that might come in handy tomorrow. This story blew my mind. The first time Ice Cube met John Singleton, it was backstage at The Arsenio Hall Show. Cube was there to give Arsenio a piece of his mind because the show wouldn’t let NWA on. Somehow NWA were … Continue reading The Serendipity Of Ice Cube (WTF)
Podcast Of The Week: Ben Hunt On Rational Optimism
Ben Hunt is back on Howard Lindzon’s podcast and I couldn’t be more excited about seeing both of them speak at Epsilon Connect in just a few weeks - so I had to listen (and share it here). Of all the things in this conversation I love, Ben Hunt’s explanation of “finding your pack” really … Continue reading Podcast Of The Week: Ben Hunt On Rational Optimism

We’re all going to be Dyson fanatics now. Or at least that's my goal for all of of my friends these days. David Senra read James Dysons out of print biography, Against the Odds: An Autobiography of James Dyson for the 4th time. His podcast talking through his notes is exceptional.
