Nate and Francis discuss learning to play music. Well, really it’s more an episode where Francis asks Nate about why he plays music and how he got back into it starting at age 35. And we also discuss Francis’s new goal of learning to paint, and the idea that you can stave off a midlife crisis by deciding to pursue new interests (so long as they’re not self-destructive ones! Don’t do that!)
