With the rise of processed foods and data, it's easy to get caught up in the convenience and manipulation, but it's crucial to make an active effort to question and understand what's going into our bodies and minds. Remember, by going to the root of where something comes from and understanding its complexity, we can make progress as individuals and as a collective.

    056_ Conversation: 🐸 Re-wild the Midwest 🦊| Regenerative ag, native plants and a way it could be

    Korean farming techniques, why can't we remake the Midwest more like the land it was before, the amazing organisms trees eat with their roots, what defines regenerative agriculture, and a whole lot more get covered in this fun, fast-paced conversation. Reid Swenson, owner and founder of Edaphon Farm , joins in this conversation to talk shop about the mushrooms he grows, multiple regenerative techniques, the amazing wonders that plants are, and the fascinating "food pantry to Chicago" that was the Grand Kankakee Marsh before it was drained. Reid has an amazing outlook on how we can revive the Midwest using native plants, from bamboo, to paw paws, through building parks full of lush food. If you're interested in plants, farming, or just looking for a fun listen, go no further.

    055_ Discussion: 🧠 Is A.I. Generating the Future? 🧐 | opportunity, chaos, & the complexity within

    🧠 What push and pull is there between the way we view AI, and the impact we perceive it has? 🧐 Surely at some point, if not now, "Artificial Intelligence" of some sort will bring about a massive change to the type of careers and the way we work every day. In the meantime though, what are the aspects of the tools AI provides that we should leverage, what are the parts to be cautious of, aware of and fight against? And how much of this current AI blowup is hype? All these parts and more get discussed on this episode featuring returning guests Dr. Yusef Smith, M.D., fitness coach and podcaster from Propane Fitness , along with Rowan Price, tech veteran and founder of Remap an A.I. enhancing unlimited copy, strategic messaging, and content editing company that's coming out soon.

    054 _ Essay: This is water | David Foster Wallace Commencement Speech

    David Foster Wallace gave this commencement speech to the graduating class of 2005 at Kenyon College, which completely breaks the commencement speech genre, while hitting everything he's supposed to do. A moving, insightful and unblushingly spiritual in such a casual way as to not even realize until you're in the middle of it.

    053_ Interview: a creative act | path, process and creativity with musician Chalk Dinosaur

    Prepare to jam out to a new favorite. Musician Chalk Dinosaur joins this podcast to talk inspiration, creative process, and much more. John O'Hallaran hails from Pittsburgh and is the main person behind Chalk Dinosaur, that interestingly enough will be played just as John in a solo act, with his brother Nick, or with a full piece band. John talks about what it's like playing between all those different permutations, how he can put out so much music across such a wide set of genres, and how exactly he does it. Check out this playlist I made with some of my favorite Chalk Dinosaur tracks. 🤘🦖🎸🎹💃 (0:00) - Introduction (8:46) - Finding Inspiration (13:39) - Creating the 'Fire on the Beach' Album (20:29) - Setting Goals and Knowing When You're Done (28:28) - Getting Started in Music (33:07) - Playing Live and the Chalk Dinosaur Name (37:04) - Difference Between Solo and Band Performances (1:07:41) - The Impact of Social Media on Mental Health (1:09:02) - The Influence of Different Guitars on Playing Style (1:14:06) - Guitar and Music Setup (1:24:44) - Practice Regimen and Musical Influences (1:30:30) - Influences and Inspirations in Music (1:37:51) - The Art of Creating Groove and Pocket in Music (1:40:52) - Recording and Editing Process (1:48:21) - Living in Pittsburgh and making music (1:53:25) - Motivation in the music-making process (2:03:46) - Upcoming shows and future plans (2:15:31) - Overcoming self-doubt and shipping creative work (2:16:13) - Rehashing and improving writing (2:18:10) - Teaching people how to talk to each other (2:20:58) - Marketing and selling an ebook Image generated by MidJourney

    052_ Interview: the way of jazz | a Lego brick standard

    Curious about jazz? Ever wonder how musicians can learn so many songs by heart? Or are you one looking to expand your skill set? John Elliot has some ideas you might find interesting. He's the author of Insights in Jazz , which lays out a roadmap to learn over 200 jazz standard songs, along with a podcast of the same name. In this episode I interview John about his Lego bricks methodology for breaking down jazz songs into their atomic parts. An idea he developed himself when trying to play more with other musicians. We also touch upon what is jazz, and the differences in the genre.

    051_ Essay: 600 seconds | a daily battle

    We don't have enough time in a day, always putting our personal desires, goals, hobbies-- the places we get most fulfillment from, last. What if you could flip that though? What if you could find just 10 minutes a day to spark yourself down a whole new track. Learning that thing you've been meaning to for years, getting back in shape, finishing that painting, or just starting to read again. In this essay, I lend the idea that I've deployed to great success over the past several years, and invite you to find your own way.
