  • "Coming from a place of yes" Ed Hansen
    On this episode I have a conversation with a long time friend, who I went to Boston College with. Ed is a really interesting person. He is authentic, he is passionate, and he has a very spiritual/karmic view on life. He has worked in the entertainment industry for a long time, as a writer, influencer, podcaster, and now a development executive. This show was great for me because he brought such a different perspective and approach than the usual philosopher or analytical thinker. He is super smart but also uses a lot of intuition to guide his life. This was a good example too, of taking a look at a different way of thinking and exploring it in a way that isn't combative or judgmental, but is just curious and open. I really hope you enjoy it.

  • "Being authentic and dumb" - Nik Raman
    On this episode, we have Nik Raman--CEO of his own start up, HBS graduate, and a free spirit/thinker. Nik was a great guest for this show because, as he talks about, he sees much of life through this duality lens and he in many ways is the embodiment of that. He has thought really deeply about various aspects of philosophy and the meaning of life, from a spiritual perspective, a scientific perspective, a pragmatic perspective, and many more. Getting the chance to question and pressure test his thoughts was really fun and insightful; and I hope you guys love it as much as I did.

  • "Do the right thing" - Vivek Kumar
    Vivek is a good friend of mine and former classmate; he is also a COO at a biotech company, a HBS MBA, and engineer. I wanted Vivek to be the first guest on the show, partially because he is my friend and I knew I could get him to do it, but more importantly because he is such a thoughtful, genuine, and good person. I knew he would have a really good perspective on his guiding value in life and that we would have a really thought provoking discussion. This is exactly what I want this podcast to be and I hope you enjoy listening to it, as much as I enjoyed recording it.

  • Self Doubt, Goals, and Finding Joy with Brandon Eastman
    On today's show I got the chance to sit down with Brandon Eastman. Brandon helps leaders and driven achievers break through their limitations, perform at their peak and achieve their biggest goals. He is on a mission to make a 1% difference in the world by empowering leaders to uncover their gifts and abilities and use them to positively impact others. He is an esteemed digital thought leader and author, former sales leader & training director of a multi-million dollar retail company and a sought after performance coach, known for his high levels of energy and engagement.
    Most importantly to me, Brandon is someone who is super reflective and thoughtful about himself and how he thinks. You'll see in this conversation, Brandon was willing to let the walls down and provide some really candid insight into his journey and the challenges he's navigated along the way. I really hope you enjoy the show and please check out Brandon's work below:

  • Expectations, Parenting, and Avoiding Certainty with Ben Winter

    In today's show we sat down with Ben Winter. Ben is an Author, Speaker, Actor, Improvist, Entrepreneur, Traveler, Father, and much much more. He loves to explore, yes, physical places around the world, but also he loves to explore the mind. What was cool about today's discussion is we got deep into the "mud" on some important topics like managing expectations, parenting, and avoiding certainty. And to ensure we gave each of these topics their due depth and nuance, I had an initial conversation with Ben, then we both took some time to listen back to it and then came back a week later for a follow up discussion (both included in this show). This helped to make sure we were being thoughtful about what we were discussing, we had time to reflect on our answers, and ultimately embrace the messiness that is real life and real human thinking.

  • Do you think we have a purpose?
    I go solo on this one in preparation for being a guest for the first time on another podcast. I dig into the question of if we have a purpose and end up giving a nice overview of intros Adrogo philosophy on life. Hope you find it interesting.

  • Immigration: Applying Adrogo to the Top Story of the Day
    Today’s story was around immigration and the new laws passed in Georgia. My brother and I attempt to apply our Adrogo/mathematical logic to the topic to eliminate our biases and typical assumptions and gain clarity on the topic. The goal is to understand the views around immigration and the laws in a nuanced way that make for a more productive conversation. Hope you enjoy it.

  • Police Brutality: Applying Adrogo to the Top Story of the Day
    In this podcast my brother and I take some time to talk about a potential police brutality incident in Virginia. We start with the overall article and summary but then delve into some of the more nuanced and complex issues related in this and other police brutality incidents. We try and objectively understand what leads to this, including racism, procedures, emotions, certainty, and much more. Hopefully it provides another, more in depth twist on a popular story in the news.

I ask guests about the value of a strongly held belief, vision, or objective they have. This can be a business idea, a personal/spiritual belief, a political/social agenda, or a focus of their career.…
