A special Entrepreneur Perspectives episode featuring the author of the novel, Altered State of Affairs, Jerald Kasimov. Eric's father. Altered State of Affairs also has a podcast with the same name. You can listen to that show here. This episode is the most recent, most listened-to episode, and the one with so many entrepreneurial perspectives. So we are bringing it to EP.
More about this episode (as originally heard on the Altered State of Affairs podcast: Blurring The Lines: Exploring Intuition And The Unknown In Fiction):
We're exploring an intriguing intersection of fiction and reality that offers unique insights for entrepreneurs. We'll explore the world of "Altered State of Affairs" by Jerald Kasimov, a novel that explores themes like intuition, the unknown, trust, and the search for answers - themes that entrepreneurs grapple with every day.
Part 1: The novel and its entrepreneurial relevance
"Altered State of Affairs" introduces us to Steven, who embarks on a perilous journey accompanied by the mysterious Cindy, a character who communicates through a subliminal force. As entrepreneurs, we often have to rely on our intuition or gut feelings when making decisions, much like Steven has to interpret Cindy's guidance.
Part 2: Cindy - a metaphor for entrepreneurial instinct?
Cindy, despite lacking physical senses, can perceive emotions and events, mirroring the entrepreneur's need to read the market and understand their customers' needs. Her communication with Steven may not always be clear, much like how entrepreneurs often operate in uncertain conditions, having to interpret ambiguous signals to make the best decision.
Part 3: The quest for answers and the role of trust
Steven's continuous quest for answers and his trust in Cindy’s guidance reflects an entrepreneur's journey. Often, we seek answers and clarity in a dynamic, uncertain business environment. We learn to trust our instincts, our team, and our vision, even when clear answers are elusive. The narrative of "Altered State of Affairs" encourages us to consider the role of trust and the pursuit of understanding in our ventures.
Part 4: The power of interpretation and the entrepreneurial mindset
Just as Steven interprets Cindy's advice, entrepreneurs must interpret market trends, customer feedback, and team dynamics. This calls for an open mind, a willingness to accept different perspectives, and the ability to pivot based on our interpretations. Cindy's constant advice to Steven to "look inward" can be viewed as an invitation for entrepreneurs to reflect on their core values and motivations.
Lastly:
In this episode, we've bridged the world of fiction with the entrepreneurial journey through "Altered State of Affairs." The novel offers intriguing insights on intuition, the unknown, and the importance of trust and interpretation – elements that resonate strongly with our entrepreneurial experiences.

Long-form podcast conversations were first seen as not having a chance. Who has the attention span for a one-, two-, or three-hour conversation? Turns out a lot of people. Podcasts that fit this genre include The Joe Rogan Experience, Lex Fridman Podcast, Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, The Tim Ferris Show, Saviors of the Metaverse, Huberman Lab, Modern Wisdom, and many more. The list is growing. That doesn't mean short-form content like TikTok, under 10-minute podcast episodes, YouTube Shorts, and X "tweets" won't work. The thing is, there's a capacity and a desire for all of the above. Sometimes, short-form content is a gateway for long-form podcast conversations. So if you hear someone say the content you create or listen to needs to be 30 minutes or 40 minutes, tell them to go watch the movie Bohemian Rhapsody and specifically the scene with Mike Myers talking about formulas and "Freddie Mercury" basically telling him to shove it! The point is, it can all work...if it is good.
An episode about how:
– Content introduces people
– Content is the ultimate backcheck
– Content is your proof of concept
– Content added up is your body of work
Creating content works...it is a big deal. And it is growing — fast. So we will continue to talk about podcasting, a lot. And we will continue to produce podcasts. Because we have seen it make a dent — over and over again!

Buckle up and join our hosts, along with their silent but ever-present third-wheel co-host, ChatGPT4, as they plunge headfirst into the quirky realms of 90s rock, AI shenanigans, and the unparalleled intimacy of podcasts. They'll juggle topics like human connection in an AI-dominated world, college and career chaos, and the untamed importance of power skills. Venture into the unknown with their off-the-wall discussions on specialized skills, mind-changing magic, and the impact of podcasts on our lives—like you probably listen to Joe Rogan more than many friends and close family members. Hey, just sayin’.
Let’s get serious for a moment:
The Unparalleled Intimacy of Podcasts: Marvel at the magical connection forged between podcast hosts and listeners. We unveil how spending countless hours listening to your favorite hosts and guests creates a bond that can surpass family ties, making podcasts a bizarrely powerful medium.
That’s profound, right? Well, with listeners devoting countless hours to hearing their favorite podcast hosts and guests, they often form a deep connection that rivals and even surpasses time spent engaging with family members. Podcasts, like Saviors of the Metaverse or The Joe Rogan Experience, offer a unique opportunity to dive into the minds and lives of the hosts and their guests, creating an extraordinary bond with listeners that transcends traditional forms of media. For example, if you’ve listened to every Saviors episode, you’ve listed to these two knuckleheads for about 24 hours! If you’ve listened to 60 Joe Rogan episodes at an average of two and a half hours per episode, you’ve listened to Joe for 150 hours! Yeah. That’s a lot.
Major Topics in The Unparalleled Intimacy of Podcasts! + 90's Rock Rebellion, Power Skills, AI Shenanigans
90's Rock Rebellion: Jared, the co-host, is ready for a throwdown as he shares his passionate disdain for Matchbox 20 and other 90's rock bands. We explore the reasons behind this musical animosity and how it has shaped his current taste in tunes.
AI's Future Shenanigans: We take a whimsical approach to discussing AI's potential role in society, examining how it might evolve from a mere assistant to a snarky sidekick. Will AI become a friend, a helper, or a sneaky analyst of our bodily functions? The possibilities are endless and mind-boggling!
College, Careers, and Power Skills: Our chat goes deep into the future of education and the workforce, where specialized skills and "power skills" (formerly known as soft skills) will take center stage. We also discuss the importance of being open to changing your mind and adapting to new information.
The Profound Impact of Podcasts: We wrap up the episode by reflecting on the transformative nature of podcasts, which allow us to listen, learn, and expand our minds in ways that were previously unimaginable. From hundreds of hours with Joe Rogan to an entire day's worth of Saviors of the Metaverse, podcasts offer a unique, immersive experience like no other.

More about Frontrunner founder, Neil Zhang:
Neil Zhang attended college at the University of Pennsylvania. He graduated with a BAS in computer science and fine arts in May of 2016. He worked in New York City as a member of Nielsen, primarily in data science before attending the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania for his MBA with a concentration in finance and marketing. Neil is fascinated with analytics and sports data modeling.
More on the vision of Frontrunner:
“In 2019, I placed a bet at the beginning of the season on the long shot San Francisco 49ers to win Super Bowl LIV. They would go on to make it to the Super Bowl but ended up losing. Despite being 99% right, I couldn’t cash in on my success. I then asked myself, “Why can’t I change my bet or position at any time and profit?” This one question turned into many I had with my friends, who became founders – all of them landing at the same conclusion – the modern sports fan is being underserved through antiquated ways of sports betting. The idea of stock market-style sports betting was born. (source: getfrontrunner.com)

Web3 | So Many Questions! | A Podcast Series
Web3 is happening so fast—or at least that’s what it seems like. In actuality, there is time—a lot of time. It’s very early in the Web3 world. It’s also very confusing (maybe because there are so many buzzwords or maybe it’s because there are a lot of people promising a bright future). I’d say it’s best to talk to those in the space. And that’s where this Web3 dialogue (podcast series) is coming from. It’s an opportunity to share space with those that have experience, stories, and proof of concept related to all things Web3. This episode just so happens to hone in on revolutionizing sports betting.

Next, they discuss the recovery of cities in the post-pandemic world. How are these urban landscapes bouncing back, and what does the future hold? Listen as our hosts take you on a wild ride through the ever-changing cityscapes, offering their insights and outrage.
Finally, they delve (cause who doesn't like a good delve) into the world of the "Butt Naked Emperor" and the modern-day manifestations of the classic tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes." Discover how people are still falling for the same old tricks and how our fearless hosts are here to save you from the deceitful antics of the bare-bottomed rulers of the world.
Of course, as Saviors is an unscripted podcast, these hosts take on way more than think. Think Cleveland, roofing fraud, the TikTok algorithm, healthcare in the US, Gotham City, and of course Batman's rule on killing.

Greetings, fellow travelers of the Metaverse! Buckle up, because your favorite cosmic duo is back for the Season 2 premiere of Saviors of the Metaverse! We're starting this season with a bang (or maybe that's just the sound of our brains exploding) as we tackle a universe of topics that'll leave you questioning reality itself.
In this episode, we delve (because who doesn't love a good delve?) into the ever-evolving world of AI and how ChatGPT is leading the charge. We even ponder the looming question: How will the mighty Google respond to this AI-driven revolution?
We also discuss the high horse riders of the education community, as they gear up for the great ChatGPT debate. Are their concerns valid or just a classic case of human resistance to change?
Next, we ask the age-old question: Does technology overpromise and underdeliver, or are we all just victims of a media-driven narrative? We dive into the murky waters of AI, self-driving cars, and our unrealistic expectations of 100% accuracy.
Then, Jared drops the existential bomb of the episode: What defines a human? Are we the puppet masters or just puppets, dancing to the whims of our AI overlords? We take a philosophical roller coaster ride into the AI-human relationship.
And because we love a good plot twist, we warn you of the juice-jacking dangers lurking at hotels and restaurants – those seemingly innocent charging cables may have ulterior motives! The FBI's warning has us all rethinking our charging habits.
We also chat about the Airbnb saga and how their declining value is making us question our very definition of hospitality. Are we witnessing the fall of a giant?
Finally, we touch upon the eternal battle between chaos and order, setting the stage for an epic showdown in the next episode of Saviors of the Metaverse.
Join us as we embark on a journey filled with laughter, thought-provoking discussions, and the occasional existential crisis. This is Saviors of the Metaverse, Season 2, Episode 1 – the one where we redefine what it means to be human, all while trying to survive the AI uprising.

People are struggling to access therapists as the demand for mental health care seems to be at an all-time high. This could be due to their location, the stigma that still exists around having a therapist, and the fact that there is a shortage of mental health professionals.
The increase in demand for therapy could be linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, political divisiveness, acts of violence, economic fears, addictions, relationships, and social media. The lack of access to therapy is also due to strict licensing rules, making it difficult for therapists to work across state lines. However, some states are working together to give reciprocity to each other. While the therapist stigma is still there, there is an increase in people seeking therapy and being willing to try it out.
This episode suggests opening up access to therapy by allowing out-of-state therapists to see people from different states. There is also a discussion about the cost of therapy, which is a concern, but also a sign that therapy is being seen by consumers as a necessity as people seem to be willing to pay for therapy without insurance. The overall message of the mental health industry is to help as many people as possible and provide them with the support they need.
This episode features Derek Bylsma. Derek is the Executive Director of Millennium Counseling Center and heads Millennium’s 3A and Sports divisions. He is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a nationally board-certified counselor. He is also fully trained in EMDR Therapy.
