Awesome Podcast
Ryan’s podcast is enlightening to say the least. He brings on guests that are knowledgeable and bring a different perspective. I learn something new each episode. Keep up the great work!
Great podcast
Ryan does a great job interviewing interesting guests who are doing groundbreaking work that is/will reshape the world. It's always fascinating to get a glimpse into what these folks are working on, their inspiration, and the potential impacts. I recommend it for anyone interested in futurism, science/tech, and how the world is changing from that standpoint!
New Insights to an already popular topic
(Review by friend) I love following Grindhouse Wetware. They are the new pioneers and heroes of the digital age. Transhumanism and the idea of looking inward at ourselves objectively as flawed animals leaves incredible leeway to chart the new course for the species, freedom and discovery.
