Young Dumb & Woke

Welcome to another episode of the Young Dumb & Woke Podcast! Today's episode is one I am very proud of and really has the ability to change people's lives. I had the great honor of chatting with the Silicon Valley Porn Star, Jason Portnoy. I first learned about Jason through listening to an episode of one of my favorite Podcasts, The Tim Ferris Show, where he and Tim had a conversation that fully captivated me.  Jason is first and foremost a fantastic human being, who goes to incredible depths of vulnerability to share his story with the world, in his new book titled Silicon Valley Porn Star. Along with his recent author title, Jason is an Entrepreneur & Venture Capitalist, who began his career at PayPal, working closely with technology icons like Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Max Levchin, and Reid Hoffman. He served as the first Chief Financial Officer of Palantir Technologies (NYSE: PLTR) and later founded Oakhouse Partners, a top-performing venture capital firm. Evidently, Jason's credentials are hard to top, and as much as I would have loved to just talk with him about his wealth of knowledge & stories in the business world, our conversation more focuses on topics that are even more captivating and impactful. Topics such as the “gateway drug” of porn, addiction, what healthy masculinity should look like in our modern day, the power of vulnerability, childhood programming & breaking generational curses, the importance of climbing your spiritual mountain, and much more. This conversation with Jason, and I truly mean this, was one of my favorite ever conversations I've had with someone, recorded or not. I got so much out of Jason's wisdom and felt energized during our entire conversation, especially because we really dove into topics that are often avoided (but desperately need to be talked about) in our culture. I hope you feel the same way.You can watch the video version of this episode on the Young Dumb and Woke YouTube ChannelIf you enjoyed the conversation, please don't forget to leave Young Dumb & Woke a 5-star rating on Apple and Spotify!You can find Jason @ https://www.jasonportnoy.com/Follow us on Instagram:@gideon_davis @youngdumbwokepod

On this episode of the Young Dumb & Woke Podcast, I had the true privilege of interviewing Mike Nilson. Mike is not only extraordinarily successful in a multitude of areas - he's also just a really incredible human being. He's the Head Strength Coach at Gonzaga University, host of his own Podcast, an owner of U-District PT, a sports nutritionist, and holds a master's degree in Leadership.  In this conversation, Mike and I get into what it took to walk on at Gonzaga (including carrying a basketball with him EVERYWHERE he went), what true commitment can do to your life, the value of good parenting & family, how to maintain a healthy relationship, the importance of fighting the victim mentality, our mutual love for guitar, choosing one topic per year to learn about & studying it EVERY DAY, why the one thing he would tell himself at my age is “start the calendar earlier,” and more! I know you will walk away from this conversation feeling more inspired, grateful, and with more tools to get the most out of life. I hope you enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with the one and only Mike Nilson! If you did – don't forget to leave a review and a 5-Star rating on both Apple and Spotify.   Learn more about Mike and what he's doing at - hoopcommitment.com Follow Mike and his Podcast on Instagram @hoopcommitment  Follow us on Instagram: @youngdumbwokepod @gideon_davis @haydenmdavis Follow us on Minds: @youngdumbwokepod
