  • Treat Your Life As An Experiment - James Altucher - #138

    James Altucher is a chess master, writer, entrepreneur, investor, podcaster and comedian.

    Overcoming our life's natural inertia is hard. We overplan, overthink and hold off starting a plan because we're not ready. Today James takes us through his approach for experimenting with life and jumping into new things feet-first.

    This is the second in a two-part episode with James, they can be enjoyed separately or together. I figured I'd try experimenting with ideas too!

  • Personal Growth, Dating & Psychedelics - Tucker Max - #136

    Tucker Max is an author, speaker and the Co-Founder of Scribe.

    How do you go from being a professional asshole to a dad? From beer bongs to boardrooms and drunken nights to ayahuasca retreats?

    There's a transition we all have to go through from the person we were to the person we want to be. Many of us go through this multiple times. But how do we know when it's time to change, and how can we let go of the people we used to be?

  • How Loving Yourself Can Save Your Life - Kamal Ravikant - #135

    Kamal Ravikant is an investor and writer.

    Do you love yourself? Do you even like yourself?

    The body and mind you inhabit is the only one you're going to get in this life. That means there is no greater priority than learning to love yourself and work collaboratively, instead of adversarially with your inner being.

    This is one of the most open and raw episodes I've recorded, thank you to Kamal for being a part of it.

  • How Much Does Google Know About Me? - Seth Stephens-Davidowitz - #134

    Seth Stephens-Davidowitz is a former Data Scientist at Google and a writer.

    There are things which you write into Google which you have never told another person. Our search history is a window into the deepest recesses of our mind which has never before been available.

    Time for the big data analysts like Seth to step in and look at what we can discover from these information. Why do people commit suicide? How many Americans are racist? What is the most popular type of pornography in India? And what is the biggest determining factor in a child's development?

  • Do I Need Therapy? - Charlotte Fox Weber - #132

    Charlotte Fox Weber is the Head of Psychotherapy at The School Of Life.

    Therapy is a term that comes with a lot of baggage. It's seen as a last ditch measure, a solution that is only needed by someone in a dire situation to "fix" a problem.

    But what even is therapy and what does it do? Should it only be used by the people who are at the end of their tether? Who is it for? And why is it so stigmatised?

  • What I Would Tell My 18 Year Old Self - #131

    Jonny & Yusef join me for the first episode of the new year as we ask each other what would we tell ourselves 10 years ago.

    If you were given a 30 second phone call to yourself 10 years ago, what would you say? Buy Bitcoin? Learn to meditate? End that relationship? Do not dye your hair blonde?

    Today you get to hear us crack under the pressure of an imaginary phone call to our younger selves and then reflect on everything we've learned.
