Friendsgiving 2019
In this episode, we are joined by many returning guests, including Joe Jackowski, Nick Buegel, and Jordan Criss. As this is a Friendsgiving episode, we recorded it before we had our yearly get together. We cover a wide area of topics and try to get an update on what everyone has been working on, but we quickly dive into deeper waters. We start our conversation with Jordan's recent exploration into Aaron Sorkin. From there, we have a broader dialogue on how fame and power affect people. We then ask what art is - using Kanye West as an example. The discussion on Art then turns toward a discussion on self-expression and vulnerability. One of the last topics we talk about is the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre. Then we finally close with what Nick and Joe have currently working on.

How to Train Your Mind: Personal Philosophy
"Your philosophy is the foundation to align your thoughts to who you are, not coupling them to what you do."
The purpose of doing deep work is to align your thoughts, words, and actions. Aligning those three components forms the bedrock of how you think. The story that you're telling yourself.
