4.8 out of 5 stars from 3.6k ratings
  • Another banger!

    Guys - you are so money and you don’t even know it! What a great return to form, up there with the old days of social optionality etc.. Loved Taimur’s riff on ‘you can’t opt out’ - shades of ‘no man is an island’. and the stoic’s ‘sympatheia’ (ie. we’re all bound together…).

    Anyway - keep it up guys - you make mowing the lawn feel just so much more enlightening…

  • Credit where credit is due!

    So great that you guys are back on it again with much more regularity. The most recent episode with Jason Blakely was a blinder - a fascinating subject investigated with humour, insight and clarity - just fab!

  • Good Energy

    Adore this podcast. There’s wisdom I take away from each episode, the conversations are always thought provoking and I love the self awareness both Ali and Taimur have. Lots of depth to their conversations but also plenty of laughs. It’s a good time. Highly recommend. I’m a nature loving, holistic nutritionist living in California, not a tech bro, but somehow this podcast lands.
