  • You Have Endless Amounts Of Money... What Do You Do NOW?

    We dig into: 

    • purpose vs. productivity: are your “interests” secretly utility in disguise? 
    • work you’d do for free: speaking, advising founders, making deals—when the driver isn’t dollars. 
    • passion projects that create flow: woodworking, wine, art/design, and a wild genealogy case study (printing 400-page family history books). 
    • the accumulation trap: why “enough” is a moving target and how to step off the hamster wheel. 
    • travel + friendship in the social era: intense, camp-style bonds that used to fade—now they linger in your feed. 
    • retirement reality: you don’t need “endless money” to test this—design days you’d love now. 
    • the humor & truth of “10 lbs in a 5-lb bag”: busyness, lateness, and why we overcommit by default. 

    Takeaway: build a life where your calendar would look the same whether or not you were paid. Identify the few pursuits that reliably put you in deep work/flow—and architect your weeks around them. 

    Drop a comment: if you never had to work for money, what would you do all day for the next 60 days? How long before it gets stale? 

    Be honest.

  • Gen X Parenting: The More You Wing It, the More It Works

    Jay shares how he went from never wanting kids to fully embracing fatherhood in his late 30s. Jeff admits he drank chocolate milk every day until 27. They debate VCR inventions that should’ve existed, the idea of regret in parenting, and whether humans are just the “baby bacteria” of the universe. 

    And yes, Jay once peed his pants in first grade—on purpose. 

    It’s funny. It’s vulnerable. It’s very much “Who Cares?”
