  • Interesting mix of guests

    Great interesting mix of guests. Destiny is known for his informed push back and debate and even though the conversations here are great, I wish he would argue back a bit more.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP035 - Benn Jordan
Q: So do you think that AI music and stuff is destroying music?
I don't think it's destroying music. The music industry was already struggling with streaming which put the last nail in the coffin of how we value music for intellectual property.
EP035 - Benn Jordan
Q: What's your background in music, like an abbreviated version from H5?
I fell in love with guitar at the Wisconsin State Fair and started playing in bands, but decided to make my own music with a drum machine when nobody was putting in as much effort as I was in the bands.
EP035 - Benn Jordan
Q: So do you want more rural or more city?
I would probably move to a different setting of the same sort of outer city like somewhere outside of Albuquerque or something like that.
EP033 - Dr. Alok Kanojia (Dr. K)
Q: How can we determine whether your advice is better than anyone else's?
My intention is to help, and the proof is in the application of my methods and how they resonate with individuals over time.
EP033 - Dr. Alok Kanojia (Dr. K)
Q: How can we navigate political conversations without making our partner feel attacked?
It's essential to seek understanding first, before being understood, and recognize that your partner's feelings are their own responsibility.
