Description

This episode is a rare exception to the rule -- unlike my usual long-form interviews, this is a drunk-dialing Q&A with you guys, which I’ve done a few times in the last few years, including for the celebration of the 100th episode of this podcast. In preparation for this episode, I solicited phone numbers from listeners who wanted to receive a call from me, and then I started drinking and dialing, answering questions and getting a little frisky along the way.In this episode, I cover topics such as:How Jocko Willink has made me more disciplinedMy thoughts on sex as a “doorway to a higher perception”My past experience with stimulants and psychedelicsHow I determine if a project is working or not. In other words, how do I decide when I should persevere or quit a project and move on?How I think about teachingAnd much, much more!Please enjoy this tequila-fueled Q&A! This episode is brought to you by Peloton, which has become a staple of my daily routine.
