Alan Bennett is the Chief Editor of the popular media platform Headstuff.org. Alan Studied Fine Art as an undergrad, dabbled in comedy successfully and moved on to U.C.D, where he received a distinction in a Creative Writing masters. With a trained eye for good content he's the captain to have at Headstuff.org's helm.

In todays episode we have a conversation with Alan based on his past and present.

The dichotomy of creativity and success is discussed with an emphasis on the importance of perspective in everything you do- everything.

Social Media Vs The People is also mentioned. Is it the internets fault? Or our fault? for the desensitisation of the masses. At the end of the day, you are the cause of all your effects, you are in control. We'll leave that for you's to decide.

As an editor and avid processor of information, Alan also speaks about the importance of looking into topics yourself and taking nothing at face value. Formulate your own facts through diligent research, because people want to tell you stuff that benefits them...remember that Hitler guy?

We finish the conversation on politics and the paradox folded inside its purpose: the goal of any politician is to get re-elected. As society turns into more and more of a popularity contest, are politicians any different than influencers? who at the end of the day just want your precious attention. "Whats worse", dare I say, "they get our attention, every last drop of it".

The theme of this conversation: both physically and mentally, stand up, look around, and try to realise whats worth 'your' calories in this hungry hungry world filled with pseudo-intellectual vacuums.
