Listen to the full podcast here: https://skmp.supercast.com/ Quick Announcement. We will send a copy of Nat's New Book Crypto Confidential to the first ten people to be subscribed to the podcast and email pia@modernstoa.co This podcast got me absolutely torqued. Nat is always someone whom I have admired for his ability to be on the cutting edge of the next "thing" and find a creative way to monetize it. It was super fun to watch, and he was really good at it. About two years ago, he decided he wanted to embark on the great creative journey of his life. A life where he isn't on the cutting edge, but instead working on one project for years at a time. This book is his first child of this commitment, and it is fun as fuck to read. Nat is really living in his art and I am so fucking stoked for him.

Listen to the full podcast here: https://skmp.supercast.com/ In this special episode, I had the privilege of hosting two fathers on my podcast, both of whom I hold in high esteem. Nat and Paul, beyond being incredibly intentional about lifestyle design, embody the qualities of thoughtfulness, care, and exemplary fatherhood. They serve as my go-to sources for guidance in many areas of life, making it a natural choice to share their insights on fatherhood with my listeners. Nat stands out as an author and entrepreneur with an extraordinary ability to transform his interests into profitable ventures with astonishing speed, thanks to his adept use of internet leverage. His knack for monetizing his interests is unparalleled among anyone I've ever encountered. Paul, a frequent guest on the show, delves into our relationship with work through his writing. He's known for rigorously challenging his own beliefs as well as the widely accepted norms of society. His willingness to question and explore makes every conversation with him profoundly enriching.

Listen to the full podcast here: https://skmp.supercast.com/ Shout out to Mill's new Tallow Potato Chip Company DOS. It just launched and the chips are really fucking good. What does it mean to pursue greatness? This is a question that has haunted me my entire life. I have been in constant oscillation between the order that I think it must take and the chaos that entropy desires from my soul. Thus is the foundation of why I wanted to talk to Mills today. He has committed to the path of greatness, he has done it wholeheartedly, and he is in constant pursuit. I admire it. I look up to it. This conversation was incredibly impactful as I navigated giving meaning to my life and pulling meaning from it. I hope that it helps you too on your journey. I hope it helps you too. Thank you for your attention.

Listen to the full podcast here: https://skmp.supercast.com/ I feel incredibly fortunate to have spent several hours with the exceptional musician, Mike Posner, who is not only one of my favorite artists but also a true legend in his own right. Mike embodies the essence of being a genuine "Capital-A" artist, living and breathing his craft. His music resonates with a sense of genuine joy, and you can practically hear his smile in every word he sings. Moreover, he's an incredibly beautiful soul to be around. During our time together, Mike opened up from the depths of his heart. He shared his experiences dealing with the loss of his father, discussed his creative process, and delved into his personal journey of making sense of this world. He even recounted a close brush with death that left a lasting impact on him. I'm overflowing with gratitude for Mike Posner, not only for his exceptional musical talent but also for the way he chooses to lead his life. He's a true inspiration, both as an artist and as a human being, and I'm immensely thankful for the opportunity to have connected with him.

Listen to the full podcast here: https://skmp.supercast.com/ I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down and sharing tea with my friend Mike Newton. Mike is a growth marketer who has worked for multinational companies in Beijing, he has worked for Discord, and he has run his own growth marketing agency. He has also joined the subject matter autist coalition finding a path to turn his obsession into a career. In this case, his obsession is tea. We got to time travel back to his experiences living and working in Beijing. We sipped three different teas and "teetered" on the edge of Tea drunk. It was a wonderful time full of great conversation and a beautiful experience. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Listen to the full podcast here: https://skmp.supercast.com/ How do I describe JP Sears? JP is a kind and loving person. JP is a satirist. JP is a man. JP has faults. JP works on his faults. JP is hilarious. JP goes Deep. JP describes himself as a freedom fighter who uses the language to help protect the greatest gift we have ever received - freedom. If you are a part of his millions of followers, you might have a specific idea or view of JP. If you have hate-watched one of his videos because they make you feel uncomfy you will have a different view of JP. I first met JP in 2018 and have worked professionally with JP for about 2 years. JP has all of my respect in the world. He is a good man approaching greatness. Whatever you think of JP, I feel confident you will walk away from this podcast thinking deeper as a human and feeling an aura of excitement about what it means to work on yourself and your art.

In this special episode, I sit down with my wife Caroline for a deeply personal conversation just six days before the birth of our daughter, Athena Litany King. We take a walk down memory lane, reflecting on the ten years we've spent together as a couple, the almost 2 years of marriage that have shaped us, and the journey we've undertaken to become parents. The episode captures the essence of our hopes and aspirations for the little life about to enter our world. We delve into the story behind Athena's name—a name imbued with rich significance. Athena represents not just strength and strategy but also the dualities of life—the balance between light and dark, creation and destruction. Together, we explore the themes of resilience, wisdom, and the importance of pursuing one's passion—values we hope to instill in our daughter. We talk about the complexities of the world she'll grow up in, where the choices won't always be easy, but we trust in her ability to navigate them with the strength and wisdom of her namesake.  This episode is a heartfelt reflection on love, family, and the legacy we hope to build as we embark on this new chapter of parenthood.
