    Episode 040: Mike Matthews, Muscle For Life

    Mike Matthews from Muscle For Life joins us in this episode to talk nerdy about fitness and nutrition programs, including the truth and lies about supplements. This show fits into our mini-series on health and wellness, which kicked off last time with Derek Flanzraich, founder and CEO of Greatist. Mike's insights are a great complement to Derek's because they cover different aspects of the health universe. Just like a wonderful venn diagram, Mike's focus on muscle strength and sport performance overlaps with and supports Derek's focus on healthy lifestyle habits and choices. Muscle health is important for everyone, not just athletes. Thanks to Mike, you can learn a lot about how to start improving your muscle strength today. Enjoy the show!

    Episode 034: Joseph Rose, Black Heart Letterpress

    Joseph Rose is one interesting guy. Mindy and I wanted to chat him up about all things letterpress. And we did. But little did we know heading into our conversation that Joseph is also quite musically inclined, including singing and playing bass guitar in a band. Letterpress + music = one fascinating show, if we do say so ourselves. Jump onboard this episode to hear us talk with Joseph about the resurgence of letterpress, letterpress machinery and styles, the function of business in one’s life, music hobbies, and so much more. This conversation may meander, but it’s a damn good time!
