    Ep 49: Corey Jess - Making The Midnight Transmissions

    What happens when nearly thirty years of inside jokes, strange characters, and stories between two friends somehow turn into an entire world? On this episode, I’m joined by my longtime friend and creative partner Corey Jess. We’re pulling back the curtain on how we created The Midnight Transmissions. We talk about where it came from, how we built it, and how a ridiculous idea between two friends became something real.

    The Midnight Transmissions Ep 1: Arcade of Static

    Episode 1: Arcade of StaticEpisode DescriptionZac wakes up in a neighborhood that feels strangely familiar—but something is off. With only a mysterious device called the D.I.A.L. connecting him to his friend Corey, Zac follows the signal to Carl’s Arcade, where the games are glowing, the ramen is hot, and the rules of reality seem to be breaking down. Whatever this place is, it knows more about Zac than he knows about it. And something inside the static is watching. About The Midnight TransmissionsThe Midnight Transmissions is an original audio-fiction series following Zac as he wakes inside a strange world buried somewhere in his own subconscious. Guided by Corey through the mysterious D.I.A.L., each transmission pulls him deeper into places shaped by memory, imagination, and things that probably shouldn't be there.

    Ep 48: The Lost Art of Rest

    Have you ever gotten so busy building a good life that you realized you weren’t actually enjoying it? This episode is a little different. I want to tell you about a season when I was creating, showing up, and doing work I loved—but the people around me could see that I wasn’t healthy before I could. I’m going to talk about why fun isn’t always the same thing as rest, what a quiet week in South Carolina taught me, and how I’m learning to slow down enough to actually enjoy the life I’m building.

    Ep 47: Paul Gowder - Serving the Community

    What happens when a small experiment on the early internet turns into a community of millions? On this episode, I’m joined by Paul Gowder, founder of PowWows.com. We talk about how his time in the Boy Scouts helped spark a lifelong interest in Native American culture, what it was like building a website when the internet was still brand new, and why serving the people who are already there may be more important than constantly chasing bigger numbers.
