I was recently invited back to my old stomping ground—The Trinity School—to be interviewed as an alumni author. Why they wanted me, I couldn’t tell you. I left this old storied bastion of education in the 8th grade though I do have fond memories there. Every hero (villain?) has an origin story. This is mine

Max Zavidow is a New York-transplant, basketball enthusiast, and, and comedian whose hilarious videos have catapulted him to internet celebrity. He’s funny, down-to-earth, and an overall good dude. We sat down late in spring to chat about his life, career, comedy, and a whole range of other topics, including his short-lived foray into the world of investment banking. It’s a tough world to leave, and I respect him him a lot for it, in no small part because it’s a path that I myself was once-upon-a-time considering.  You can find Max on Tikotk and Instagram with the handle: @formerteenageheartthrob

For many of you, Coleman Hughes needs no introduction. He’s a writer, podcaster, thinker, and idea sharer who got his start writing for Quillette, a magazine I used to edit and where I remain a Contributing Editor. He’s got bylines in the Times, the Journal, the Spectator, and the National Review. And now, he’s got a rap career. It was my distinct pleasure to sit down with Coleman in New York and get into it.

Larry Perkins is an Apollo 11 moon race-era rocket scientist who ran supercars at Sebring and Daytona. He taught Astronauts to race cars in secret without the approval he knew NASA wouldn’t give, drove and sold (for pennies on the dollar) what is arguably one of the most valuable cars in the world today, and maintains a deep connection to space exploration, automotive engineering, and racing. He worked on the first moon landing, the Viking mission, and the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO. It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with Larry. You can buy Larry’s book Full Cirlce: A Hands-On Affair with the First Ferrari 250 GTO here.
