The Working Experience

John sits down with Elena Serdyuk and discusses the importance of Story in our lives - from the written word to all visual mediums!  

The people in Silicon Valley who make all those apps aren't letting their kids use them.  Their kids go to schools where technology isn't allowed.  Why?  Because it's bad for kids!  What a shock!  We are losing meaningful contact with our fellow human beings and that is bad for us.   Stop using Uber Eats and go to a restaurant for God's Sake!  

Matt speaks with Jesse Eisinger, financial reporter for ProPublica and author of The Chickenshit Club about why white collar crimes are no longer prosecuted and the wealthy seem to have different rules than the rest of us.  When is a "campaign contribution" just an old fashioned bribe? 

It's Monday, April 1st!  April Fool's Day, and the only fools are Matty K and John for continuing this failure of a podcast...But have to keep it positive at the beginning of the week!  Eye of the Tiger baby!  Try to work in a little road rage while you're at it.

The office has become the Church of Workism.  When traditional sources of fulfillment, such as family, religion and community, fail to provide people with a sense of purpose in life, they can always turn to work.  Where else are you going to measure your value as a human being?

John and Matty want you to let it all hang out this weekend!

Aaron Wilson is an actor, singer, writer and motivational speaker. He recently moved from MA to LA to pursue his career in entertainment. He got a manager, an agent and a pilot in development in less than six months. But that came with a lot of planning. Get inspired by some one who is actually living his dream!

Matty K gives you the latest business news...of which he understands less than 1 percent.  But that doesn't stop him from forging ahead and offering his opinion.  Food delivery apps are all the rage but they are stupid.  Just go to the frigging restaurant, for God's sake! 

How is a person supposed to work 120 hours a week?  Unfortunately, some people turn to performance enhancing drugs and painkillers to get through the days.  And in the gunslinger culture of the world of finance, it is very hard to seek help when things get bad. 

If you want to know how to break into acting or are just interested in how the process works, Brandon Scales will tell you.  Having worked with director Peter Berg and actor Mark Wahlberg, Brandon has a fascinating story and invaluable advice on pursuing your dream.  The best ability is availability.  Step One-show up!
