Crazy Wisdom

The guys at Podcast Notes take notes on the best podcasts on the planet as a business and I thought it would be interesting to interview them about all the things they have learned. Check it out for a good synthesis of the best knowledge being produced at the moment.

I sit down with Annie Duke who is an author about randomness and uncertainty and how to work intelligently with these things while also trying to live a good life. 

Dr. Cameron Sepah discusses the effectiveness of ACT in treating anxiety, contrasting it with CBT. The podcast explores cognitive therapy for resilience and flexibility, exposure therapy for anxiety, and the acceptance of anxiety as a natural part of life. Embracing chronic pain and psychological distress is highlighted, along with the importance of professional collaboration in healthcare and media.

A licensed clinical psychologist discusses stress, anxiety, and fear, emphasizing the need to confront fears for innovation. The podcast explores managing stress, the adaptive nature of stress responses, and enhancing resilience through allostasis. It also touches on navigating stress, trauma, and success, as well as tackling challenges with resilience and embracing individuality for innovation.

I interview Nate about why he is always a customer of a product before he works or invests in the company that creates that product. We also talk about nature, fitness, ego, the gold rush and much more.

This is part of a special series I'm doing where I ask someone what they are reading, I read it, and then we have a conversation about it. Jake Chapman and I both read the book Doomsday Machine by Daniel Ellsberg about the regulation and governance around Nuclear Weapons in the United States and abroad.

Stay away from this episode if you dislike exposing yourself to things you probably consider to be "Woo". This content isn't for you.  Here I talk to Howard Teich and we talk about Jung and I even do a little online therapy for everyone to see the process!

I talk with Arianna Simpson about her contrarian views on remote work as well as the current crypto market and the most interesting projects which have benefited from the quiet of the bear market.

This is part of a new series where I ask someone what they are reading, I read it, and then we record a conversation to get the main points of the book. The point is to let you the listener get access to the wisdom of a book without necessarily reading it. We both read the book "The New Dark Age" by James Bridle about the unintended consequences of technology.

I really enjoyed sitting down with Kuval who lives in India and is spitting fire on Twitter about how to make money doing what you love. We get into that as well as first principles, and the transmission of morals in the time of globalization.
