Luke Burgis is a Washington, DC-based writer, entrepreneur, and teacher.  His latest book is Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life.  If you’re wondering what mimetic desire is, don’t worry, we get to that near the end of our talk.  Balancing his roles teaching business at The Catholic University of America and writing an excellent Substack called Mimetic Mondays (as well as a number of other projects) takes a lot of skill.  We discuss Luke's productivity habits and the music that fuels him for work and life.
