#148: Professor Brian Keating - Exploring The Deepest Questions In Science Today
Today on the show we are joined Professor Brian Keating. Dr Keating is a Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of California, host of the Into the impossible podcast and best-selling author of Losing the Nobel Prize.
Going into this episode I had a bit of curiosity about the universe and how we got here, So in this episode expect to learn Professor Keating’s take on what happened right at the beginning of time, what set off the Big Bang, how did life emerge from non-life, how improbable it is that we should be here, why you should write an ethical will and how to bounce back from failures from the man that lost a Nobel prize.
I hope you enjoy this conversation with the eminent Dr Brian Keating.

#144: Jason Fried - Basecamp CEO on Enough, Parenting, Jeff Bezos & Winning at Business

Jason hosts the very popular Rework podcast, and has written and co-authored numerous best-sellers including Rework, Getting Real and it doesn't have to be crazy at work.

I must warn you, Jason's philosophy is infectious.

#141: Dr Ed Adams - Reinventing Masculinity: The Liberating Power of Compassion and Connection
Edward M. Adams, PsyD, has been a psychologist in private practice for over thirty years. He founded the nonprofit organization Men Mentoring Men and has facilitated over one thousand men's meetings, workshops, and retreats.
The conventional notion of what it means to be a man--what Adams and Frauenheim call "Confined Masculinity"--traps men in an emotional straitjacket; steers them toward selfishness, misogyny, and violence; and severely limits their possibilities. As an antidote, they propose a new paradigm: Liberating Masculinity. It builds on traditional masculine roles like the protector and provider, expanding men's options to include caring, collaboration, emotional expressivity, an inclusive spirit, and environmental stewardship.
