...more May 12, 2022Escaping the Meaning Crisis with John Vervaeke You have to somehow ameliorate the self-deception and enhance the insight and enhance the connectedness. ~ John VervaekeJohn Vervaeke(@vervaeke_john) is an award-winning Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of Toronto, and the creator of the popular Youtube series ‘Awakening from the Meaning Crisis’.

...more April 23, 2022Making better decisions with Nika Kabiri I really do encourage all of us to be more, to own our decisions more as we're making them. But to also recognize that we have limited control over the outcome and we can't judge the outcome or we can't judge our decisions by our outcomes. ~ Nika KabiriNika Kabiri (@nikakabiri) helps businesses and individuals make better decisions. She has spent more than twenty years studying how people make decisions, and teaches graduate and undergraduate courses at the University of Washington. In this conversation we unpack Nika’s advice for how you can take better decisions, and some of the ways in which we can get derailed. We talk about bias, decision fatigue, the paradox of choice, and many other influences on our decision making.

...more February 05, 2022Lucas Cantor on the craft of composition and completing Schuberts Unfinished Symphony with AI “If you were to try to listen to every piece of music that is currently on Spotify today it would take you 500 years. And if music was being added at the rate that it's being added today, over those 500 years, by the time you would listen to everything 500 years from now, you would have listened to about 1% of what was available.” ~ Lucas CantorLucas Cantor (@lucasdcantor) is an Emmy-winning composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and conductor. In this conversation we talk about Lucas’ collaboration with artificial intelligence to finish Schubert’s Unfinished Symphony. We explore his process for working with the AI, and what this means for the intersection of music and technology.

...more October 10, 2021Productivity anxiety, embracing limits, and eternal life with Oliver Burkeman Attention, on the other hand, just is life: your experience of being alive consists of nothing other than the sum of everything to which you pay attention. ~ Oliver BurkemanOliver (@oliverburkeman) is author of a number of books including, The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can't Stand Positive Thinking* and Help! How to Become Slightly Happier and Get a Bit More Done.* His new book, Four Thousand Weeks*, is about "making the most of our radically finite lives in a world of impossible demands and relentless distraction".
In our conversation we of course start with productivity, but also dive into everything from ordering Korean food at 2am in NYC, to why being a digital nomad is not all it's cracked up to be. Oliver is not interested in productivity tricks, but rather digs deeper into the underlying psychology and philosophy implicit in our societal and individual obsessions with productivity. This conversation was a lot of fun, and I hope that something resonates with you and helps you to become more mindful if you continue your quest for productivity.

...more June 28, 2021Suta Kavari on friendships through politics, deep listening, and reparations for the Namibian genocide “Suspend your judgement and immerse yourself in the moment. What does this person have to say? Let go of your biases and immerse yourself in the present moment” ~ S Kavari.
Suta Kavari (@sutaonce) is an economist and director of research at Laurel Strategies where he provides advice to CEOs and other world leaders. But today I am talking to him about friendship across political lines, listening deeply, the role of social media in tribalism, and why the German apology for the Namibian genocide doesn't go far enough. Suta is a wonderful conversationalist, so discussions with him are great fun, and always memorable.

...more May 14, 2021#2 - Shabana Basij-Rasikh on how to live with courage and educating girls "Education is the most important investment in your life. It's the one thing that no one can take away from you. You could lose your home to a natural disaster, or you could be forced to leave it during a war and become a refugee. So anything you possess materially can be taken away from you, but there's one thing that no one can take away from you is your education, your ability to think for yourself." ~ S. Basij-Rasikh
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have to sneak to school knowing that if you got caught you and your entire family could be killed? That was the reality growing for my guest on this episode, Shabana Basij-Rasikh (@sbasijrasikh). She went on to defy her upbringing by starting a school of her own, SOLA Afghanistan, and is now changing the lives of girls worldwide through her work and activism.
