Taylor and Matt discuss balancing being present in the moment while also practicing art in the context of going out a bouldering with friends. How has technology and the desire to share experiences effected the climbing community at large? Taylor also speaks on his own struggles and successes finding a path as a photographer, videographer, and climber.

Matt and Matthew discuss the impact "big tech" has on society and content platforms and question the very infrastructure of the web itself.

Have you considered the bias and influences that generate your weekly discovery playlists on your streaming platform of choice? Why are certain items put before others? Are you given the ability to explore content in way that offers a broad range choices beyond paid sponsorship?

What is the true meaning of ownership? Can the same relationship we have with the private property we own in the real world hold up in a digital space? Is the blockchain and NFT really the answer?

Matt and Connor discuss how college did and did not prepare us for making money as an artist, how to support the art you love in a streaming era and how day to day life consists of consuming mountains of art that we can sometimes take for granted.

Can we consume and collect music without subscribing to a content streaming network? Or more importantly, can we as listeners have our infinite music library while also supporting the musicians we are listening to directly? Follow along with Matt and question your relationship with the music you stream every day.
