Dustin Lawson was "fired by the White House because I created a satirical political party called "The Logos Party", which reflects the type of reason-based politics that promotes intellectual diversity that I wish our country practiced more of. Since being fired, I have written a book called "The Logos Party: Doctor Democracy's Reason-based Political Party for Independent Minds."
Furloughed for a month in January of 2019 during the longest government shutdown in United States history, Dustin asked himself, “How can liberals, conservatives, and independents better work together?” His conclusion: democracy remains healthy through healthy conversations, so political dialogue had to be improved. Political talks do not breakdown because of differences of opinion. They break down because of the foundations those differences of opinion are built on. The foundation on which we build our political beliefs could either be dogma, reason or a combination of both.
With the help of Doctor Democracy, who is the embodiment of all the great political thinkers of history, Dustin created the Logos Party, a satirical political party that provides a blueprint for how to take partisanship out of the conversation so that political discourse is not dogma versus dogma, but reason with reason. The goal is a re-dedication to the Enlightenment principles of intellectual diversity and intellectual humility on which the United States was founded.

Nir Eyal is an author, lecturer and investor known for his bestselling book, Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products. His new book is a life-changer: Indestractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life.
Nir writes:
"I’m the author of Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products and Indistractable: How to Control Your Attention and Choose Your Life. I have taught at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and Design School. I’ve sold two technology companies since 2003 and now help teams design more engaging products.
He writes: "For most of my career I’ve worked in the video gaming and advertising industries where I learned, applied (and at times rejected) the techniques used to motivate and manipulate users. I write to help companies create behaviors that benefit their users while educating people on how to build healthful habits in their own lives.
As an active angel investor, I put my money where my mouth is by backing habit-forming products I believe improve lives. Some of my past investments include Eventbrite (NYSE:EB), Refresh.io (acquired by LinkedIn), Worklife (acquired by Cisco), Product Hunt (acquired by Angelist), Marco Polo, Presence Learning, 7 Cups, Pana, Kahoot!, Byte Foods, FocusMate, and Anchor.fm (acquired by Spotify).
Although I received most of my education earning an advanced degree from The School of Hard Knocks, I also received an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business."

I met Stephen Chbosky by pure kismet... I'll tell you about it in this episode. I am honored to now know this man. And I bet that you know his book, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. :) His NEW novel, Imaginary Friend, was published in October 2019--and that is how I met Stephen-- at a bookstore in Boston. And the rest is history--or maybe it's just the beginning...
Stephen is novelist and screenwriter, and film director best-known for writing the New York Times bestselling coming-of-age novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower (1999), as well as for writing and directing the film version of the same book, starring Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, and Ezra Miller. He also wrote the screenplay for the 2005 film Rent and Disney's 2017 live action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, alongside Evan Spiliotopoulos, and was co-creator, executive producer, and writer of the CBS television series Jericho, which aired from 2006 to 2008.
Most recently, he directed the 2017 drama Wonder, starring Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, and Jacob Tremblay.

Meredith Atwood (@meredith.atwood) and her co-host, ten-year old (at the time of publication) Stella (@stella.lifts), interview CrossFit Games podium athlete and all-around nice guy, Patrick Vellner.
Vellner says, "[As a] part time chiropractor in Nanaimo, Canada, I have an extensive sports background and have been competing in Crossfit since 2013. I made it to the games for the first time in 2015 on Team Crossfit Plateau 2 and have since been back in 2016-2019 to compete as an individual finishing on the podium 3 times. Crossfit has been a great way for me to challenge myself and escape from my studies while also being a great outlet for my competitiveness."
