    I just heard about the “bed rotting” trend on social media and I think I need a minute.


    Because if the kids think staying in bed all day eating pizza and doom scrolling is a form of rejuvenation then I’m calling bullshit on self-care.


    Today’s episode is a fun one. Drew and I have a long list of common self-improvement practices and I’m scoring them as overrated or underrated or, “it depends.”

    In today’s episode, I talked to Abigail Shrier about what parents and mental health experts are inadvertently doing to rob young people of the resilience and grit that past generations had.


    It’s a spicy one. Enjoy.

    Social media messes with our expectations because it convinces us that we should be doing everything, everywhere, all at once.

    But the reality is that we should focus on doing one or two things extremely well, in one place, consistently over a long period of time.

    Today on the pod, I talk to Noah Kagan, multi-millionaire and multi-business owner, about the type of consistency and habits that lead to wealth.

    Noah created his own wealth out of self-belief, learning from failing and being careful with what he gives a fuck about. Noah’s story is compelling as he shares how he found success over decades, by never ceasing to try.

    If you’re looking for some raw talk to get you motivated to go out and do cool shit, this is the episode to sink your energy into. Enjoy.

    Why Modern Society Makes Us Feel More Lonely

    Why Modern Society Makes Us Feel More Lonely

    I came across some mildly terrifying statistics on loneliness and wanted to figure out what was going on.

    In this episode Drew and I break down three paradoxes we're calling “The Three Paradoxes of Modern Loneliness” and they are as follows:


    We are more connected than ever, yet loneliness is at an all-time high
    The more urbanized our lifestyles become, the lonelier we become
    Despite being more social, young people are becoming lonelier than older people

    Join us as we dig into the data and discuss why this all might be happening and what we can do about it. Check it out.

    What if there was a way accomplish meaningful work—without the associated relationship breakdowns or stress? What if “making an impact” didn’t require massive amounts of energy or sacrifice? What if you could get more done by doing less?

    In this episode, I talk to Cal Newport about how knowledge work has got it all wrong. We discuss the subtle dangers of remote/digital work and the key to avoiding burnout, all while still being able to grind on the things you love.

    If you’re a stressed out, overworked remote worker, this one is for you.

Myopic, ridiculously narrow perspective

In 2024, you still call Africa a country in the same sentence as India? In 2024, you refer to the entire CONTINENT as “poor” and reduce it to typhoid and smiling children? Bloody embarrassing that two young white American men are so myopic despite all this seeming education, still so lacking in true education and poorly travelled. Your offhand framing is very revealing and a huge population in the world is quite frankly, exhausted by it.
