Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#414 Norman Calvo- Finding Joy in Older Age
Q: How old were you when you started this journey into fitness and new ventures?
I started at 60, lost weight, ran half marathons, and gradually took on singing and cabaret, proving age is not a barrier to trying new things.
#413 Matt Smith on Beauty
Q: How do you teach students to integrate beauty with goodness and truth in practice?
By beginning with seeking what is good and true, then loving it, and finally building with it, guiding students through a great books curriculum and an entrepreneurship lab that applies ideas to real ventures for the common good.
#413 Matt Smith on Beauty
Q: Give me some distinctions between now and then in how beauty is understood.
Beauty used to be seen as a rational, objective part of the world that could be taught and learned through study of great works, whereas today it's often reduced to subjective taste unless complemented by contextual and historical knowledge.
#408 Michael Yang: An Open-Ended Pilgrimage
Q: Can you tell us a bit about that startup exit and how you achieved it so quickly?
Michael explains he founded mysimon.com in Silicon Valley during the late 1990s boom, secured multiple rounds of funding, grew to substantial monthly revenue, and accepted a stock-based acquisition from CNET, which, despite later devaluation after the dot-com crash, was a life-changing milestone that validated his early vision and timing.
#406 Dr James Gregory: Small Fortunes
Q: What is your approach to mentorship and boards in business and life?
He discusses maintaining an advisory board of family and former clients, preferring deep, engaged guidance over formal governing boards, and valuing accountability and long-term relationships.
