Samantha Power started as an outsider, a war correspondent who wrote impassioned pieces for the Washington Post, Economist, and others about the failings of the American government on an international stage. That voice led to her Pulitzer Prize winning book “A Problem from Hell”: America and the Age of Genocide and earned her a job in the cabinet of President Barack Obama helping to shape the very policies she was once a harsh critic of.... read more ›

Creative lives and creative careers are each designed. They happen intentionally. The so-called lucky ones, the people who live wildly creative lives or are paid to do what they love, built what they have deliberately and strategically. They created a vision and worked toward achieving it. Every one of them started exactly where you are now—or even farther back. It’s time to put your work boots on and start kicking some ass. Enjoy!

Today on the show we have the Father of Biohacking himself, Dave Asprey. Over twenty-five years ago, Dave found himself overweight, overworked, and an unhealthy entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. He was faced with a choice: improve his health, or live a much shorter life span. That set him on an almost multi-decade journey to not only live, but thrive and share his knowledge with his community. That work lead to him founding Bulletproof 360, a... read more ›

There is an unavoidable hump along any creative path, a big, steep, muddy hill to climb between the exciting start and the point where you’ve become a proficient creator. You’re going to hit rough patches. There’s no thinking your way over this hump. Once you get to it, the time for planning is at an end. Only action will suffice. Once I’d quit graduate school and started to make decent money as a photographer, I... read more ›

In the wake of George Floyd's murder in 2020, Emmanuel Acho recognized that Black and White people simply do not understand each other in America and he wanted to use his voice to do something about it. So he launched a video series, Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man. His goal? Open a dialog on topics we've been afraid to talk about: racism, privilege, cultural appropriation, and more. That show exploded with over 70 millions... read more ›

Whether you know it or not, there are a whole host of things that either stimulate or obstruct our productivity and creativity. Where we work, the people we see, the equipment we use, the sounds we hear, even the information we consume. The good news is that we can develop systems that can help us harness and fuel our creativity instead of diminish it. Today on the show, I'm sharing a few of my favorite... read more ›

A lot of my breakthrough creative thoughts come to me when least expected. I've talked about "finding creativity" and "creative inspiration" all over the place... on podcasts like this and this (twice for example) or given a keynote on it here at SWSW. That said, I've also learned from an entire life in the trenches as an artist what DOESN'T contribute to them (abusing myself, bad head space, partying too much), but more importantly, what... read more ›
