Jim is the founder of Uncovered, a startup focused on helping to find resolutions to unsolved murders using their users experience, dedication, and expertise. This conversation started as a view into what it's like running a company like this, and took a turn towards the personal. Huge props to Jim for staying vulnerable and engaged. Love this episode and so grateful to Jim for making it happen.

I'm going to start recommending content that I encounter that I think is really well made. Below is a history podcast whose first 6 episodes are a deep dive into the Israel <> Palestine conflict. Highly recommend if you are interested in understanding how we got to this point.

This is a live recording from my joint birthday bash with Amy. Same format as Friendsgiving, lots of cool conversations. I added a debrief from the following morning this time which I think turned out pretty great. Will try to do this for future episodes.

This is a first date episode with Heather, someone I met on Bloom.These first date podcasts are harder to do as people generally don't want to be recorded on a first date, so huge props to Heather for being brave enough to do this.

Recorded Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with my fam. Had to get all of the weight loss challenge stuff on wax, so here it is. Huge shout out to my parents for hiring a professional commentator and DJ to handle all the walk up music and announcements. The power of Task Rabbit! Hope you all enjoy this. I turn 34 today, and this was a super fun episode to publish today.

WARNING: This is a pretty intense episode, so please be prepared.

After spending more than 20 hours on this episode, I can honestly say this is my proudest creation. This was such an emotionally difficult piece of art to make, and I thought about giving up so many times. Now that it's done, I'm so glad I pushed myself and am sharing this with the world.
