STFU with Dan Lyons

"People that talk too much are insecure; people that listen too much are not." - Dan Lyons
-------------------------------------------------------------------
So let's cut to the chase: Talking is easy, but real conversation? That's an entirely different animal. Whether I'm hosting "Joseph Jaffe is Not Famous," writing books, or teaching the next generation at NYU, it's clear that genuine dialogue is what we're all craving, in both our digital and real-world interactions.
Fortunately, I got this from my recent conversation (watch it in full here) with Dan Lyons, as we spoke about dodging a meeting with Prince because he was too anxious, about the days he spent working in a textile mill, and about the wild, fast-changing world of Web3 —only to tie it all back to his latest book, "STFU: The Power of Keeping Your Mouth Shut in an Endlessly Noisy World."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are my show notes:

Meeting Prince in the greenroom. (17:10)
Are you the stupid one or are you stupid in 2000? (23:41)
