We discuss taking philosophy - and other academic endeavors - to the marketplace, and examine the benefits and disadvantaged of self-employment and self-publishing.

We also talk about mutual appreciation for stand-up comedians and unfiltered music, and why podcasters like Joe Rogan elevate the art of long-form conversation.

Our conversation includes a look at Mahmoud's recent Medium Piece: Put Your Work Out There:
