How This Works
Talking to 100 people about topics they know incredibly well
About the show
This is first and foremost a conversation that taps into your curious inner child. Think of it as a deep dive into a diverse range of subjects with 100 expert guests. In our first season, we had 23 incredible individuals spanning creative directors, infectious disease experts, actors, recruiters, cannabis enthusiasts, chefs, musicians, film directors, architects, permaculturists, runners, meditation teachers, sex educators, and mastering engineers. Some are familiar faces, while others are new acquaintances, but all are extraordinary individuals sharing their wealth of knowledge.
Our second season is already underway, bringing you even more fascinating conversations. New episodes drop on the last Tuesday of every month.
Join the adventure by following/subscribing and leaving a review wherever you enjoy your podcasts. Thank you for being a part of our journey!
