Lance Stander has been in the automobile industry for over 37 years. He opened Hillbank Motor Corp located in Costa Mesa, California in 1999 after years in South Africa where he worked with his father. In 2005 Lance purchased Superformance and he is the worldwide distributor for all Superformance built cars. This is an American automotive company which has been designing, building and marketing sports cars, performance components and full car replicas, for the past 20 years. Lance's energy and enthusiasm are amazing, and it doesn't matter if you are a car person or not, he has something in store for everybody. Enjoy!

Dr. Emery N. Brown is a statistician, anesthesiologist and neuroscientist. He is the "Warren M. Zapol" Professor of Anesthesia at Harvard Medical School, as well as a practicing anesthesiologist. At MIT he is the "Edward Hood Taplin" Professor of Medical Engineering and Professor of Computational Neuroscience, as well as the Director of the Institute for Medical Engineering and Science, and the Director of the Harvard-MIT Health Sciences and Technology Program. Brown is also the first African American and first anesthesiologist to be elected to all three National Academies. Needless to say that Dr. Emery is one of the smartest individuals we've ever had on our Podcast, and a true hero of our time who works every day to make this world a better place for all of us. It was an honor talking to him about anesthesiology and neuroscience, I recommend you to sit back, take notes and listen carefully. Enjoy!

Joe Quirk is a very well-known and respected American writer (author), novelist, as well as an Ambassador for the non-profit organisation called the Seasteading Institute. He opens up his mind as we talk about this Project in detail, and his experiences with education in general, and how those helped shape the character he represents today. Joe made this one of the most beautiful KWC conversations we've ever recorded, and we recommend not only listening to his words but also reading them, in his newest book "Seasteading: How Floating Nations Will Restore the Environment, Enrich the Poor, Cure the Sick, and Liberate Humanity from Politicians". Enjoy!

Mike Spadier is an expert in marketing, who owns a company called "Heart of the Sun", where he also works at right now. He started his journey while working at Onnit.com with Aubrey Marcus and Joe Rogan as a marketing agent, creator and manager, in two previous occasions. We talk about the process of dropping out of College and taking a gap year, as Mike shares his experience, as well as his previous jobs and interactions with marketing, branding in general and other very useful related ideas. Enjoy!

William von Hippel is a scientist and professor at the University of Queensland, Australia. He is a very open-minded, eloquent and educated individual, having received his Doctors degree in Psychology at the University of Michigan. Today, he is an evolutionary psychologist and author of the book "The Social Leap", which I recommend and which we talk about during the Podcast. His work has been featured in "The New York Times", "USA Today", "The Australian" and many other. I had a great time talking about all subjects that peaked my interest from his field of research, in a classic KWC, one hour-long Podcast. Enjoy!

Trace Rucarean is another colleague of mine who is employed by (my former company) Sungrade Solar, and probably has the most fun job in our company (his words). He is very successful, open-minded and a one-man show in terms of everything digital that happens in our company. We had a great time talking about Cryptocurrencies, young people working in the present time, and automation of everything around us, especially job-related. Enjoy!

Vineet Verma is a very successful and charismatic person, originally from India but currently working here in California as a screenwriter, producer, editor, 2D and 3D animator. His projects include work with Stella Artois, Glamour Magazine, GQ Magazine, Yahoo, Christian Louboutin, Nine West and he has written and directed the TV Series "Stitch" starring Michael Wright and Harry Lennix.

Scooter Downey is a very interesting, young, up-and-coming film director and writer, who is known for his work in "It's in the Blood" (2012), "Elixir" (2015) - writer and "Hoaxed" (2019) - director. "Hoaxed" is a newly released documentary, which he co-directed with Jon du Toit, with the help of famous Mike Cernovich as Producer. It is easily one of the best documentaries I have seen in a really long time, which left a very hard impression after watching. Listen to us talk about the film, religion, and his young career and education, and of course watch it yourself. Enjoy! 

Andreas M. Antonopoulos is a best-selling author, speaker, educator, and one of the world’s foremost Bitcoin and open Blockchain experts. It was really an honor and privilege, to do our weekly "open and relaxed" conversation with him. We talk about Bitcoin in particular, it "not dying" and having more and more involvement in our society and life's everyday activities. He is a true professional and a real expert in his field, someone we can all take notes from, delivering one of the longest and most electrifying KWC Podcast dialogues so far. Enjoy!

Kupah James is a very talented and successful young individual, working primarily as a Celebrity DJ, with some his previous experiences involving events organised by the New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox, Boston Childrens Museum, AOL, Google, Expedia and even former president Bill Clinton.  He also operates as a very well-known Dance/Fitness instructor and model, achieving the same level of success. You had the opportunity to meet Kupah in Season 11 (2015) of The Bachelorette TV show, where he appeared as a contestant. A true source of positive energy, inspiration, and a great person to have a conversation with. Enjoy!
