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.

Nomeansno (2011)

On a recent Kreative Kontrol episode, Mark Molnar mentioned his fondness for a radio interview I once conducted with Tom Holliston, John Wright, and Rob Wright from Canada’s greatest band, Nomeansno. And so, here’s that interview, which occurred over breakfast at the By the Way Café in Toronto, Ontario on April 5, 2011. It’s one of my most cherished work life experiences, so thank you again to Nomeansno, whose entire catalogue is now available on streaming services, and Alternative Tentacles is reissuing their catalogue in physical forms too.

To hear this entire conversation, subscribe to Kreative Kontrol on Patreon at the $6 U.S. tier or higher (a reminder that an annual subscription includes a discount compared to a monthly one).
