Jack Shukman had an unexpected moment of awakening while hiking the Pyrenees. A few phone calls and visits to his uncle, a Zen master, led them to co-found The Way, a meditation app that gives you one path forward. We talk about why less choice actually works, meditation as an antidote to the attention economy, building a company around stillness, and the 1 a.m. moment with his newborn that made it all worth it.

Eric and Josiah crack open the first Good Looks mailbag and bounce from self-checkout culture and disappearing human interaction to biggest-life-risk stories, Undertaker nostalgia, media-stock chaos, and whether a social sauna sounds like heaven or hell. A loose, funny, wide-ranging episode with a little more heat than expected.

The Good Looks Podcast welcomes film fanatic Ryann DeGerald for a deep dive into the best movies of 2025 and the most unpredictable Oscar race in recent memory. The trio shares how they each fell in love with cinema, from late night Chromebook streams to the Chicago Film Festival, before trading top fives from a standout year at the movies.

They break down Sinners, Marty Supreme, One Battle After Another, Hamnet, and more, debating which films deserve the gold and which got slept on. With Oscar voting open and the ceremony days away, the conversation gets heated over Best Picture, Best Actor with Chalamet vs. Michael B. Jordan, and a loaded Supporting Actor race headlined by Sean Penn, Delroy Lindo, and Stellan Skarsgard.

The episode wraps with a mailbag covering the most underrated superpowers, whether the NBA should sanction a center court fight.

Eric talks with Jacob Stolar right after they both hit CrossFit Open 26.1, a wall ball and box jump ladder that turns your legs to cement. They recap the workout, what the Open season structure really feels like, and how Jacob’s training evolved from garage workouts to Hyrox Worlds and into competitive CrossFit. Then they zoom out on the sport and the business, discussing what CrossFit can do to grow and where standardization could help. Plus Good Looks of the Week and a Vikings quarterback detour for the sickos.

Eric sits down with Gregg Warshaw for a wide-ranging catch-up about reinvention.

They talk about Gregg’s path from corporate banking to entrepreneurship, the story of Flock, and how to chase your dream and engage your creative energy.

The back half focuses on Gregg’s new project, Hammer. It is a concept for a verified social sports betting network where picks are transparent, you can tail a bet in one tap, and creators can earn through tips without needing a massive audience. They wrap with Timberwolves talk and a quick Good Looks of the Week.

In this episode of The Good Looks Podcast, we sit down with Josiah McFadden to talk about how our relationship with sports has changed.

We unpack when sports goes from “fun” to noise, how attention and betting culture warp the experience, and what replaces it when you step back. We also get into Josiah’s new outlet for competition and community: becoming the intramural volleyball GM.

A few hot takes, plenty of honesty, and a better way to think about what deserves your time.
