Ep 9 // Pay it Backward by Honoring Your Elders
03/16/23 • 17 min
Rick Rubin/Johnny Cash. François Truffaut/Alfred Hitchcock. Quentin Tarantino/John Travolta. We live in a world obsessed with youth and the freshest new faces that come with it – just look at all the “30 Under 30” lists out there. But despite the latent ageism across much of society, as Matt points out and plenty of examples prove, those who came before us often have plenty more to offer and it's worth elevating our elders who still have much to teach us.

Ep 8 // Tech Folks Are Always Giving Us Futures That Never Happen…
ChatGPT, Bing AI, and similar artificial intelligence bots are seemingly all the rage these days. But the popularity – or, at least, heightened interest – is a symptom of our ongoing naiveté about the future. Matt has thoughts on how we always get sold new futures by tech companies and whether they ever pan out as anyone planned (as if anyone had a plan to begin with).
