Each year, I reflect on what it means and why I continue to spend an inordinate about of time on Feeding Curiosity.

This year I was drawn to the first episode of the podcast. I finally listened to it again in its entirety. As someone who criticizes themselves heavily. Had I not put out in the wild less than 24 hours after recording the episode on February 8th, 2018. I don't know if I would have kept going.

After listening, I hear the crazy idealism that I hold to this day. The itch that we all something that makes us curious about life and stories we share. I had no idea recording this conversation with Mike Taccona would evolve into.

Thank you to the listeners for joining me here. Thanks to the guests who share their time with me.

Here's to all of the connections I've made with people online and in-person - every conversation is meaningful to me.

I've become a better speaker, listener, and human by attempting to feed my curiosity. I hope that I continue to refine my thoughts and share them with others authentically going forward. It's not about me but those I have the honor to connect with.

Joe Jackowski on Apotheosis and The Parodies

Today on the podcast, we are joined by Joe Jackowski. Joe is a Marine Corps veteran and current graduate student at Vanderbilt University in the Cognitive Psychology in Context program. His primary interest is meaning in life, which broadly extends to problems in ethics, A.I., and culture.

Joey and Drew on Few Will Hunt
Joey and Drew on Few Will Hunt

"Everybody wants to eat, but Few Will Hunt."

Today on the podcast with Joey Bowen and Drew Beech, co-founders of the apparel brand and community Few Will Hunt.

Joey and Drew spent their daily commutes through the gritty streets of Philadelphia on the phone for a year straight.

On these calls, they talked about business and life — especially the trends of self-entitlement and shortcut-seeking they witnessed in society.

These trends made them feel alone in an ever-softening world. “Are we the only ones that still believe in the power of hard work?” Drew asked. Joey responded, “It’s like we say at my hunting cabin — everybody wants to eat, but few will hunt.”

This statement perfectly summed up their frustrations with society. It became their mantra.

Jordan Criss on Fulfillment, Imposter Syndrome, Procrastination and Eulogy Virtues
Jordan Criss on Fulfillment, Imposter Syndrome, Procrastination and Eulogy Virtues

On this podcast episode, Jordan Criss returns for a long-overdue discussion on Life and Fulfillment. We start the conversation with the idea that most people are actively disengaged with what they spend most of their time. From there, we cover imposter syndrome, healthy habits, procrastination, and focusing on what matters most to you regardless of the current outcome. Life is about playing a long game. Toward the end of the conversation, I was reminded of a book called The Road to Character. One of the core messages is to think more deeply about the eulogy virtues than resume virtues since modern life is more focused on the latter. In the end, each of us has to figure out what fits best for our life; no matter what, it will be a process. The faster you embrace the process, the less painful it will be. So with that, I pass this off to the listener. What else can we explore if you've encountered the mentioned sources, your own experiences, or any other related ideas?

Archetypes: The Green Lion and the Unicorn

In one of his most influential works, Psychology and Alchemy, Carl Jung argues that alchemy was far more than a failed science. Instead, it was an undifferentiated mix of object and subject. Alchemy was chemistry insofar as it was a science, and it was a psychological practice…

In Pursuit of Goggins

For many, David Goggins is seen as inhuman or, as he has said, uncommon amongst the uncommon, sure that is true. But I look at it a little differently. If he can forge himself into something extraordinary, why can't I? Why can't the person next to me? In this video, I discuss what it means to be In Pursuit of Your Greatness.

Unlocking A Hidden Gear with Zone 2

Consolidation and Stagnation
Consolidation and Stagnation

Since the Web3 piece was released, I had initially been trying to find a solution to expanding on providing living wages to more people that don't rely on larger platforms to be intermediaries. As I researched, a clear path forward wasn't clear to me, so I transitioned to think at a broader level. Recently we saw large announcements for acquisitions of Activision-Blizzard and Bungie. These consolidations of large entities are troubling as a small creator. Will we one day have to make exclusivity deals in hopes of insulating ourselves from the costs of creating? Or can we find better solutions so that content can be monetized directly between the producer and consumer?

Cancel-Culture and the Joe Rogan Controversy
Cancel-Culture and the Joe Rogan Controversy

In order to discuss the controversy surrounding Joe Rogan, and the subtleties of cancel-culture, we first need to understand what cancel-culture is. Columnist Ross Douthat, in the New York Times, said, “cancellation, properly understood, refers to an attack on someone’s employment and reputation by a determined collective of critics, based on an opinion or an action that is alleged to be disgraceful and disqualifying.” There are two balancing components we should highlight in this definition, the first being an opinion or action is allegedly distasteful.

Remembering and Reflecting on 9/11

This edition of the Feeding Frenzy is a bit different than others I've done. Over the last week, I spent more of my time than even I expected reflecting on 9/11 and the events that would follow. At the time, I was only eight years old, so I was too young to fully grasp what had occurred except that many were called serve in the aftermath. This week's collection of content aims to provide the necessary context that leads up to and after 9/11. I am not here to argue right or wrong but rather to understand the complexities that have shaped American politics for the last two decades.
