A review and breakdown of Amazon Prime Video’s new Carrie series, based on the Stephen King novel. The first part of the episode is spoiler-free, followed by a full spoiler discussion.

This episode breaks down Pink Floyd’s “Time,” from The Dark Side of the Moon , line by line, and uses it as a lens for how time actually works in our lives: how it’s perceived, how it’s remembered, and how it slips away. The episode starts with memory. Most of an ordinary day is forgotten within hours, and most of a week is gone within days, which is why routine days blur together. That leads into...

Most of what happens in your life is forgotten within days. This episode covers how memory actually works, why journaling is one of the best ways to hold onto your life, and how to start.

Over the past month, I’ve added a few small habits to my day, and they’ve made a bigger difference than almost anything else I’ve tried. In this episode, I break down each one and why I think it works, both spiritually and scientifically. We talk about: The power of personification: why making a request to “someone” instead of hoping to “the universe” changes how your brain expects it to come true...

The news cycle moves too fast for anyone to keep up, and that might be the point. In this episode, I go from the protests in France to the rally moment everyone’s talking about, then into what I think is the real story: cyber attacks becoming the next way countries go to war. We talk about: France’s youth-led protests: half a million people angry about jobs, debt, cost of living, and their future...

The world feels like it’s shifting. In this episode, I start with the latest on the Russia-Ukraine war and the U.S. pulling back its support, then zoom out to a bigger question: are the world’s superpowers drifting toward a new authoritarian era? From there, I get into what I think could speed that up: a generation raised on AI shortcuts and endless scrolling, and what happens when it grows up and...

Where do ideas come from, and what happens when lots of people build on them together? In this episode, I talk through NeuralBoard, the video editor I’ve been developing for about eight months, and the bigger questions it’s been raising for me. It started as a way to speed up my own process. I used to draw boards on an iPad and keyframe every move by hand in CapCut. Now I put images, videos, and n...

AI is changing the job market faster than anyone expected. Entry-level roles are disappearing, layoffs keep coming, and fields that used to be “safe bets” are suddenly crowded. So which jobs are actually at risk, and which ones aren’t? In this episode, I go through a chart from Anthropic, the company behind Claude, showing which jobs its AI is most and least likely to replace, and what that could...

How private are your conversations? In this episode, I go through the surprising ways your voice and even your typing can be picked up. We talk about: Mic-E-Mouse , research showing your computer mouse can pick up speech through desk vibrations MIT’s “visual microphone,” which recovered speech from video of a chip bag Laser microphones that listen through a window’s vibrations, a technique that’s...

I started my TikTok in 2020 to get followers for an app I was building. It grew to over 600,000 followers, and it turned into a podcast, brand deals, and merch. In this episode, I share that story and what I learned from it. We talk about: Why consistency matters more than anything Having a motivation bigger than money Taking the pressure off and treating your account like a place to experiment Bu...

Why does calling a tree "her" instead of "it" change how you treat it? In this episode, I dig into Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, a botanist and member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, and her idea that the way language personifies nature shapes how much we care for it. Then I connect that to manifestation and prayer. If you set your intentions with "the univ...

Send us Fan Mail Can the language you speak limit what you're able to see, and what you're able to get out of life? This episode connects linguistics, neuroscience, and manifestation. It covers: Jim Carrey's graduation speech: the bike story and the "law of exchange" he says drove his whole career Synaptic pruning: why babies' brains take in far more of the world than...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I break down Wu Wei , the ancient Chinese concept of “non-action” or effortless action. It sounds like laziness at first, but the idea is really about learning when to stop forcing things, letting go of rigid expectations, and moving with the circumstances instead of constantly fighting against them. I talk about Wu Wei through examples from content creation, exer...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I read through Naval Ravikant’s famous “How to Get Rich Without Getting Lucky” thread, one of the most concise collections of ideas on wealth, leverage, ownership, specific knowledge, and long-term thinking. Rather than overcomplicating it, I go through the ideas directly and let the framework speak for itself. The thread covers why wealth is different from money...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I break down some of the latest developments in AI, including Grok 4.7, Meta’s new MUSE agent, and what the rise of easy-to-use AI agents could mean for the way we use the internet. MUSE can handle things like email, calendars, shopping, forms, travel and other online tasks, but the more interesting part is how quickly major companies are starting to react. Amazon...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I look at the history of AI hype cycles to ask a much bigger question: are we actually on the verge of artificial intelligence transforming or even threatening humanity, or are we living through another period where expectations are running ahead of reality? I break down the major waves of AI development, from early symbolic AI and robots like Shakey, to 1980s exp...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I break down some of the strangest and most interesting things I learned in a semester-long class on consciousness. We get into how tiny the truly high-resolution part of your vision actually is, why people once reported dreaming in black and white, how blindsight shows that your brain can process visual information without you consciously seeing it, and how the r...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I try to compress a semester’s worth of the most interesting psychology into 17 minutes. We get into why your brain doesn’t actually show you reality directly, why you notice far less than you think, how memory can change every time you recall something, how conditioning shapes your behavior, what dopamine actually does, and why your brain is so good at protecting...

Send us Fan Mail How deep is your “bag,” really? In this episode, I use lucid dreaming as a window into one of the strangest features of the human mind: even when almost anything is possible, we tend to fall back on the same familiar patterns. Lucid dreams can make those patterns unusually easy to notice. Even in an environment where the normal rules of reality disappear, the brain often defaults...

Send us Fan Mail Lucid dreaming is usually framed as a superpower—the ability to become conscious inside your dreams and take control. But there may be a stranger side to it. In this episode, I break down how lucid dreaming works, how people learn to do it, and how practicing reality checks can begin to change the way you experience waking life. We explore what happens when you start questioning y...
