Ep. #1054: Mark Medley

Mark Medley is here to discuss his remarkable new book, Live to See the Day – Impossible Goals, Unimaginable Futures, and the Pursuit of Things That May Never Be, our experiences at writers’ festivals, questions I have about how book publicity works and whether or not some publishers promote their authors and books, what inspired him to write this 10-chapter book of case studies about people who knowingly and passionately engage in difficult if not impossible projects and don’t seem to worry about reaching a goal of some kind, selfless pursuits to help generations to come, normal people attempting to make life extraordinary, understanding risk aversion, what’s next for him, and much more.

Ep. #1033: Shad

Shad returns to discuss his new album Start Anew, the connections between its title and his 2005 debut, When This is Over, and a Hayden song, persona, the person, and ego death, yearning for challenges in life and creative work, conquering the fear of stories ending, anti-capitalism, technocracy, and the fact that the inventor of A.I. believes there’s a small chance it might kill all of us and people are ignoring him, the devaluation of music, addiction and smartphones, ending another musical chapter, touring, other future plans, and much more!
