Episode notes

I wanted a lot of that interview to say with Mark, which I was quite happy with will remain evergreen for a very long time. If you go back and watch an interview today, there's still some great evergreen pieces of content that are like lessons from just his childhood growing up. The idea of taking things back to first principles, like all that stuff was pretty new when he talked about it back then. And people should turn ads on that shit. Get me the little cash on the side. So tough. Times are tough in the Rose House. What do you think I should do with the podcast? Honestly? Yeah. Because I love you. I want you to move to

A Rare In-Person Random Show with Kevin Rose — VR Workouts, I Bonds, Excellent Movies, Recent Books, Lessons from Amy Tan, How to Shape Your Mind, and More | Brought to you by Athletic Greens all-in-one nutritional supplement, Wealthfront‘s high-yield savings account, and Shopify global commerce platform providing tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business. More on all three below.

Technologist, serial entrepreneur, world-class investor, self-experimenter, and all-around wild and crazy guy Kevin Rose (@KevinRose) rejoins me for another episode of The Random Show.

In this one, we discuss conspirituality, opening the doors of perception with prescription and meditation, movies we've been enjoying, fictional world-building, high-interest I bonds, lessons from Amy Tan, full-body MRI scans, Austin vs. San Francisco, why I refrain from "gotcha" interviews on this show, and much, much more.

Please enjoy!

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens. I get asked all the time, “If you could use only one supplement, what would it be?” My answer is usually AG1 by Athletic Greens, my all-in-one nutritional insurance. I recommended it in The 4-Hour Body in 2010 and did not get paid to do so. I do my best with nutrient-dense meals, of course, but AG further covers my bases with vitamins, minerals, and whole-food-sourced micronutrients that support gut health and the immune system.
