What's the value?

Key is an entrepreneur, CEO, coach/consultant, and public speaker, so it wasn't surprising her underlying values were constantly striving to be the best version of yourself, giving value back to world, and helping others. What was interesting about this discussion, was the role that faith and God played into it. As we explored and pressure tested what it really means to be the best version of your...

Chris was a really cool guest to have on the show. I've known Chris for almost 3 years, almost entirely as someone who coaches me and trains with me in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). Recently though I've gotten to know him much better and witness him make some significant life changes (quitting his job to focus on BJJ, starting his own business, competing against top level fighters, etc.). I also know...

It was my birthday recently and I decided I wanted to do the things I really enjoy and matter most to me. Two of things I enjoy and that matter most to me are spending time with my son and doing my podcast, so I decided to combine them. It may seem gimmicky, cheesy, or just a bad idea for a philosophy podcast to have my 8-year-old son, Kavian, on as a guest (and maybe it is), but I think there is...

Chace is a fellow Boston College grad who I've known for a long time, she is also a lawyer by training, a wife, and an executive at a major media company--among other things. She threw a bit of a curveball at me leading off with "fulfillment" as her most important value. We spent some time trying to better understand what that meant and how she tried to live in accordance with it. What I found int...

N.T. Narbutovskih (Nick) is a former military pilot, published author, and certified leadership coach. In his writing, especially in his newest book, Steel in the Blood (learn more about him and his work here- narbutov.com) he uses science fiction to explore philosophical questions and dilemmas-- which made him a really intriguing guest for the show. Nick started by highlighting his most important...

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...

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 perspec...

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 th...

In this first episode I explain the reason I created the show, what I hope it accomplishes, and my answer to the question: what's the value?
