Ep 11 // In defense of night owls…

Morning people propaganda is everywhere. Billionaires, star athletes, and other world conquerors are seemingly all evangelists for the tired cliché, “the early bird gets the worm.” But Matt is sick of it, because who wants worms, anyway? Some people just thrive in darkness and are tired of being night-shamed for it. So open your heart to night owls – they’re people, too!

Ep 12 // Wabi Sabi and the poetry of imperfection…
Wabi Sabi is a philosophy that encourages the acceptance of imperfection and impermanence. As Matt points out, imperfections and impermanence are very often the qualities that make something interesting. And conversely, it’s often our attempts to strive for complete, implacable perfection that causes the things we make and care about to come off as inauthentic.
