This July 4th weekend I am reviewing season 4 Revisionist History episode "Tempest In A Teacup" from Malcolm Gladwell.

This is the story about what really happened at the Boston Tea Party, and how this entertaining podcast about things overlooked and misunderstood converted me into becoming an avid tea drinker.

This is a really special episode featuring my girlfriend of just over a year, Ashley.

We booked our first couple's retreat for her birthday, drove about an hour outside of the city to stay in a cabin we rented for a few days, and Ashley interviewed me about my creative process & career.

We discuss the future of media, the importance of podcasts, and how creative professionals can stay aligned with their passion to find success.

This week I am talking with Liran Hirschkorn, the host of the Ecommerce Mindset Podcast.

Liran is an eComm & Amazon FBA Expert who has sold millions of dollars of physical products and in this interview we talk about creating content that really makes a difference and the mindset necessary for self-improvement and success.

The Joe Rogan Experience is moving the audio and VIDEO podcasts to Spotify… exclusively.And I've got a lot of thoughts about it.This multi-year licensing deal is said to be worth over $100 million dollars. On this episode I talk about my thoughts on the JRE show generally and how this acquisition will signal to the marketplace to finally take podcasts more seriously.

This week I am reviewing Ep #319 How To Disagree With Someone from The Life Coach School with Brooke Castillo.

We could all benefit to think about conflict resolution and understanding other points of view.

This episode goes beyond that, challenging us to expand our emotional intelligence by creating some distance between ourselves and the opinions we hold most dear.

This week I'm reviewing what is currently the most interesting highbrow podcast in the world that is truly taking the most risks.

That is The Portal with Eric Weinstein and we are discussing episode
31: Ryan Holiday - Conspiracy, Manipulation, & Other Pastimes

This podcast will challenge you and grow your brain.

This week I am reviewing episode "Mr. Money Mustache - Living Beautifully on $25-27K Per Year (#221) on The Tim Ferriss Show.

This episode from 2017 blew my mind when it came to personal finances. But don't worry, as his name might hint, Mr. Money Mustache is a really charismatic, funny guy who brings some actionable advice to the conversation.

Whether you want to join the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, or just start saving more, this is a podcast you won't want to miss.

This week I am reviewing TWO podcasts on Armchair Expert -  episode 196 with musician Alicia Keys and episode 197 with writer Andrew Marantz.

Dax's podcast celebrates the messiness of being human and it's really a show where people sit down to be vulnerable and honest about their struggles and shortcomings.

I talk about how these 2 episodes illustrate the versatility of the podcast and how we can all grow from listening to podcasts that are both more lighthearted AND a little deeper.

This week I'm reviewing
Hardcore History Addendum -  "EP7 Hardcore History On Fire"

Dan Carlin has described himself as a political pragmatist, a radical neo-prudentist, and a political martian... he doesn't neatly fit into any ideological boxes.

I just think he's the best storyteller of history in the world.

This week I am reviewing "Painfotainment" (episode #61) on the podcast Hardcore History.

Dan Carlin announced that he was finally releasing a new Hardcore History episode he warned that not everyone should listen to it.

"This is a very dark and graphic episode" he tweeted and warned listeners that to proceed "with caution"... this may be Carlin's darkest yet.
