This week, Zak and Aaron dig into a topic that's as absurd as it is concerning: the CEO of Roblox wants to officially incorporate dating into the platform. Completely ignoring the fact that the game's core audience is mostly children, David Baszucki seems to believe that bringing horny adults into the fold will act as a balm to soothe the "loneliness epidemic" plaguing the modern world. What could possibly go wrong?Please, enjoy.Listen to Beach Girl on SpotifyCheck out MosscatMarket on EtsyCheck out even more MosscatMarket on Instagram

A Note from James:Ryan Holiday is one of the few writers I consider a peer—not just because of the work he's done, but because of the choices he's made along the way. We've both published a lot of books. We've both dealt with audiences, platforms, and the weight of having a “point of view” in a world that increasingly wants you to pick a side. This episode wasn't meant to be a debate or an interview. It was just two people trying to make sense of the tension between creativity and truth, honesty and influence, and why sometimes the best thing you can say is nothing at all.Episode Description:In this candid and far-ranging conversation, James Altucher sits down with bestselling author Ryan Holiday to talk about the changing nature of creativity, writing, podcasting, and personal ethics in a polarized media landscape.They discuss the illusion of having to weigh in on every issue, the danger of algorithmic thinking, and how to stay true to your voice without becoming a prisoner to your audience. Whether you're a writer, a creator, or just trying to think more clearly in chaotic times, this episode offers real insight into the forces shaping our thinking—and how to resist them.What You'll Learn:Why sharing too early can kill creative momentumHow social media shifted from expression to algorithm worshipWhy long-form podcasts might be bad for your brainHow writing differs from other art forms in its tension and permanenceThe tradeoffs between artistic freedom, platform growth, and audience expectationsTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] Writing Without Talking About It[01:00] Why Book Ideas Need Time in the Dark[02:00] Creative Compulsion vs. Discipline[03:00] Stand-Up, Dopamine, and Daily Feedback[05:00] Point of View in a Binary World[06:00] Silence, Ethics, and Speaking Up[07:00] Noise as a Form of Violence[09:00] Political vs. Philosophical Disagreements[10:00] Social Media's Shift to Opinion Farming[11:00] The Algorithm as Audience Puppet Master[12:00] When the Audience Has You[13:00] Podcasting's Algorithm Problem[14:00] Are Podcasts Dangerous?[16:00] Podcasting vs. Books: Tension and Craft[18:00] The Rise of the Longform Grifter[20:00] RFK Jr., Bad Ideas, and No Fact Checks[22:00] Why Audiobooks Outperform Podcasts[23:00] Can the Medium Save Us?[25:00] When Podcasts Work (And When They Don't)[27:00] Music and the Emotional Power of Simplicity[29:00] Songs vs. Culture War Commentary[30:00] Great Lyrics, Great Feelings[32:00] Bono, Stoicism, and Making You Feel Seen[34:00] The Parasocial Magic of Fame[35:00] Acting, Politics, and Emotional Truth[37:00] Writing as the Hardest Artform[39:00] Why Great Writing Still MattersAdditional Resources:Ryan Holiday's website: ryanholiday.netThe Daily Stoic by Ryan Holiday: AmazonJames Altucher on Twitter: @jaltucherRyan Holiday's books on Amazon: Author PageOlivia Rodrigo – “Drivers License” (YouTube): Watch hereLed Zeppelin lyrics and discography: ledzeppelin.comU2 – “Sunday Bloody Sunday”: YouTubeSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tired of the outdated “thirds” model in executive search? Andrew Mears was too. That's why he co-founded Lead Candidate—a niche search firm serving the pharma and bio-outsourcing sector—based on a transparent, fixed-fee subscription model that's up to 30% more cost-effective than traditional pricing. In this episode, Andrew reveals how Lead Candidate went from break-even to 133% revenue growth by rethinking everything: pricing, positioning, sales, and even internal rituals like “Tom's Day of Bad Ideas.” You'll hear how they grew entirely through referrals—no cold calls, no job scraping, no outbound—and why clients commit to 3–18 month subscription agreements that provide predictable revenue for the firm and budgeting certainty for their CFOs. If you're a recruitment firm owner frustrated with unpredictable billings, client churn, or the limitations of contingent search, this conversation will show you what's possible when you lead with values, relevance, and partnership—not pitches. Episode Highlights [3:24] Why Andrew left a COO role to start over during COVID—and how a health scare changed his outlook [12:22] The broken search pricing model—and how Lead Candidate built a better one [22:30] Defining a niche within a niche: how their positioning sets them apart [31:55] Capsule vs. Scale vs. Annual Subscription: how their pricing tiers work [43:39] Why they broke even for 2 years—then tripled revenue during a downturn [56:42] How they land clients without cold outreach [1:08:06] Tom's Day of Bad Ideas: the internal ritual that drives innovation [1:19:20] How they're using AI tools like Quill to free up human interaction Why This Subscription Model Works Instead of charging a percentage of salary in staged fees, Lead Candidate scopes each project based on hiring volume, role complexity, and delivery effort. Pricing is fixed, agreed upfront, and delivered via subscription—typically 3, 6, or 12+ months. This approach gives clients cost transparency and spending predictability—especially valuable for VC-backed, resource-constrained companies—and positions Lead Candidate as a strategic partner rather than a transactional vendor. No Cold Calls, Just Clients Lead Candidate didn't rely on cold outreach. Before launching, Andrew's team surveyed the market, co-created their offer with prospects, and built deep trust through relevance and listening. Their early clients didn't need convincing—they were already bought in. “We never sold. We just listened. The worst outcome was a great conversation.” This approach helped them create a high-conviction pipeline, long-term client relationships, and sticky recurring revenue—without chasing unqualified leads or relying on outdated biz dev tactics. A Values-First Growth Story The journey wasn't easy. For the first two years, they broke even. But Andrew and his co-founders stayed true to their niche, hired with care, and grew by reputation. By 2024, the firm had grown 133% in revenue and 250% in headcount—without compromising on culture or delivery quality. “We built the business the market told us it needed—and just stayed true to it.” About Andrew Mears Andrew is the CEO of Lead Candidate, a search firm he co-founded in 2020 to champion talent in the global life sciences sector. He began his career in HR before moving into executive recruitment, where he's spent 16+ years building national and international practices.

What's up Brian?! You know it's almost showtime when we start talking SoCal Mini, and this episode is your front-row sneak peek into the 2025 edition — coming in hot with more pixels, more chaos, and probably someone forgetting the power supply.

For the final episode in our current series on the history of bad ideas, David talks to philosopher Alexander Douglas about the damage that can be done by the idea of identity. Why is the search for a distinctive personal identity such a futile quest? How does it lead to an identity politics of exclusion and violence? What can we learn from the philosopher Spinoza about having an identity without identity? And what can we glean from the experience of dementia about losing ourselves? 'Against Identity: The Wisdom of Escaping the Self' by Alexander Douglas is out now wherever you get your books https://bit.ly/40d8xES Available from Saturday on PPF+: Part 2 of David's conversation with Alexander Douglas in which they talk about how Silicon Valley took a philosophical concept of identity and turned it into a commodity to be marketed. Plus, how should we think about ‘impostor syndrome'?

Moist-soil habitat management involves lots of moving pieces, making it too easy to focus on one aspect and lose sight of the entire playing field. Kevin Nelms returns to break down the art and science--from ground-zero planning and mindset shifts to water manipulation, plant succession, and building a legacy for future generations of hunters--and ducks.

In today's episode of the history of bad ideas, David talks to political philosopher Alan Finlayson about behaviourism, a theory of psychology that has penetrated to the heart of politics. How did we get from Pavlov's Dog to a prescription for a better society? What is the relationship between behavioural utopianism and contemporary economics? How did behaviourism get turned into something called ‘Nudge'? And if we are being nudged into better behaviour, what is left for politics?

Today's bad idea is one with a short history but a big reach: the term polycrisis only came into being at the end of the last century but now it seems to be everywhere. David talks to historian Gary Gerstle about how this idea was originally conceived, what its current vogue says about the times in which we live and whether this really is a polycrisis or something else. Why is it comforting to think that the crises through which we are living are all connected in some way? Why is it also dangerous to think like that? And what does it say about our sense of powerlessness that we haven't got a better way of describing the problems of our world?

For today's episode in the history of bad ideas David talks to philosopher Shannon Vallor about the myth that technology can be value free. It's easy to see why Silicon Valley is so keen on the idea that it's never the fault of the tech, only of the people who use it. But why do we let them get away with it? Where did this idea come from? How has it also poisoned arguments about gun laws and nuclear weapons? And what can we do to fight it and try to get technology that works with – not against – basic human values?

For today's episode in the history of bad ideas David talks to economic historian Marc Palen about monopoly, an idea that has always had its defenders as well as its fierce critics. Why do monopolies arise even in supposedly competitive economies? How did the anti-monopoly movement of Henry George in the late-19th century argue that the monopolists could be taken down? How are those struggles echoed in the fight against Silicon Valley monopolists today? And what has all this got to do with Monopoly the board game?

Today's bad idea is one that started out as satire and ended as a political slogan. David talks to historian of ideas Ben Jackson about meritocracy and its origins in Michael Young's book The Rise of the Meritocracy published in 1958. Young foresaw a populist revolt against the meritocratic elite in the year 2034. Was his vision prophetic? Why did politicians like Tony Blair embrace a concept that Young thought was antithetical to a fair and just society? And who are the winners and losers from meritocracy today?

For today's episode in the history of bad ideas David talks to cultural historian Tom Wright about charisma, a term that often feels essential for understanding modern politics but which ends up obscuring far more than it explains. How did an old idea from Christian theology get used to explain the hold that political leaders have over crowds? Why is it so important not to confuse charm with charisma? What has made a word from early twentieth-century social science ubiquitous on twenty-first-century dating sites? And if Trump hasn't got charisma, then what has he got?

In this episode, we're looking at some of the weird and wildly misguided ideas from the history of childbirth and parenting, like a spinning birthing bed inspired by elephants (yes, really) and baby cages that hung out of apartment windows in 1930s New York... These days we have apps, alarms, and a whole lot of anxiety. Are we really any better off?

In today's episode about the power of bad ideas, David talks to historian and podcaster Dan Snow about the myth that wars are settled on the battlefield.

Today's bad idea is ‘genius', the label that has enabled all sorts of terrible behaviour through the ages. Writer and broadcaster Helen Lewis explains how and why the idea of genius gets misapplied to people and things that just aren't. Why are geniuses meant to be tortured? Why are individual geniuses prized over the collaborations that lie behind most innovations? Why do we think that people who are brilliant at one thing will be good at everything else?

For the first episode in our new series about how bad ideas take hold, David talks to economist Mark Blyth about austerity, the cost-cutting idea that refuses to die. Why is it an article of faith that states need periodic purging to stop them getting too greedy? Why does this so often happen at times when it does most harm, from the 1930s to the financial crisis that began in 2008? And how is the politics of austerity playing out today, in Starmer's Britain, in Milei's Argentina and in the DOGE wars happening in Trump's America?

In this episode we're diving into the power of ideas—how they shape culture, influence our beliefs, and sometimes lead us astray, even when they come from a place of good intentions. You'll hear from Dr. Jeff Myers, president of Summit Ministries and a leading voice in equipping Christians to stand firm in truth amidst competing worldviews. Dr. Myers unpacks how well-meaning ideas can sometimes have destructive consequences. He helps us sharpen our discernment so we can recognize false narratives, think critically, and respond with wisdom and conviction. Listen in as he challenges us to engage thoughtfully with the messages we encounter, asking deeper questions and testing ideas against truth rather than emotion or cultural trends.

Expense Review: Cut unnecessary spending by checking your credit card and bank statements.   Pricing Check: Make sure your prices make you a profit, and don't just copy your competitors.   Shop Spruce-Up: Clean your shop, including dusting and fixing anything that looks worn out.  Update uniforms, aprons, and how your staff presents themselves.   Marketing Boost: Refresh your marketing plans to get customers excited. Remember: “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm!”   Plan for Success: Having a plan is key to making good things happen!   “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson   Need more?

In this episode, we dive into problematic life insurance schemes that have led to lawsuits. We examine how premium financing - originally designed for high net worth individuals seeking death benefits - was repurposed as a risky retirement strategy for people who didn't need it. You'll learn about a recent lawsuit involving complex tax schemes paired with premium financing that left clients with massive loan balances, inadequate collateral, and IRS penalties. We break down the warning signs of these overly complicated arrangements and why they often fall apart when interest rates rise. We share our firsthand experiences with clients who pursued these strategies despite our advice and later regretted it. You'll understand why simpler approaches to life insurance usually produce better results without the legal and financial risks of elaborate tax schemes. ____________________________ Have questions about your life insurance options? Contact us today to discuss straightforward strategies that actually work. We'll help you navigate life insurance without the complicated schemes or hidden risks.

What if the best idea for your business isn't coming from your C-suite, but from the intern who barely speaks in meetings? In this episode of The Liquid Lunch Project, hosts Matthew R. Meehan and Luigi “The Professor” Rosabianca sit down with Nick Jain, CEO of IdeaScale, to talk about shaking up the way businesses innovate.

Real-World Win: A global restaurant chain used IdeaScale to crowdsource their next big menu item—and it wasn't just a PR stunt. Big Company vs. Small Company Life: Nick spills the tea on why running a smaller company is like driving a speedboat—faster, riskier, and way more fun. Idea Meritocracy: Why the best ideas should win, not the loudest voice or the highest-paid suit.  Financial Fluency: Nick explains why every entrepreneur needs to master financial statements—or risk driving blind. Poker and Business: How calculated risks at the poker table mirror smart business moves. Free Tool Alert: IdeaScale is free for businesses under 100 people—zero strings attached.  Who is Nick? Nick Jain is the CEO of IdeaScale, a social network for ideas that helps businesses crowdsource innovation. A Harvard Business School grad and former Bain Capital hotshot, Nick's now running a midsize software company while juggling fatherhood, a computer science degree, and fixing electrical outlets at his rental properties.  Take Action: Want to stop chasing your tail and start innovating like a badass?

This week, we’re celebrating the show’s 15th anniversary (which was last year, but never mind about that part). Over those 15+ years, we’ve done something north of 3,000 shows. And every one of those shows was intended, more or less, to be about some … thing. Towels or Trump or toast or television or whatever. This hour we do the opposite thing: a show not about a specific something — tapirs. Note: This show features Chion Wolf’s performance of “Let’s Not Talk About Tapirs,” with lyrics by Colin McEnroe and music by Chion Wolf. Also note: We’re idiots. Don’t let the fact that we’re idiots prevent you from finding tapirs as fascinating as we actually do. If you’re able, you might consider supporting the Tapir Specialist Group, which conserves “biological diversity by stimulating, developing, and executing practical programs to study, save, restore, and manage the four species of tapir and their remaining habitats in Central and South America and Southeast Asia.” GUESTS: Carmen Baskauf: Former producer for Where We Live on Connecticut Public Kimberly Hyde: A keeper at the San Diego Zoo; she handles the zoo’s tapirs in its Elephant Odyssey habitat Betsy Kaplan: Senior producer emeritus of The Colin McEnroe Show Jonathan McNicol: The producer of this very episode of The Colin McEnroe Show Carlos Mejia: Former digital producer at Connecticut Public Mike Pesca: Hosts the independent daily podcast The Gist Josh Nilaya: Former producer for The Colin McEnroe Show Susan Piver: Meditation teacher, speaker, and long-time Buddhist practitioner Patrick Skahill: Connecticut Public’s digital editor; producer emeritus of The Colin McEnroe Show The Colin McEnroe Show is available as a podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, TuneIn, Listen Notes, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Czabe takes a look at the desperation QB signings around the NFL and concludes: the scouts must really hate the incoming class of rookie QBs! Sam Darnold is a Seahawk, Justin Fields a Jet, and who knows where Rodgers will land. Chances are, none of these moves will work. Is Lebron aging gracefully, or do we need to start asking hard questions soon? Always "pre-condemn" your teams moves, makes you look smart later on. (Maybe).

Nancy Reddy, an award-winning writer and professor, shares a few key insights from "The Good Mother Myth."

Dean says to free your mind when remodeling your home to help gain more creativity. Dean talks retrofitting an attic with fire& ember protective vents, how to remove gray spots/mold on a vinyl tub wall, advice on a chipping living room ceiling, Dean talks about replacing a mirrored-closet door, installing a sliding door in a mobile home, and marrying two different materials for countertops. Dean believes that there are no bad ideas, just decisions... the thinking and planning needs to be expanded to be able to get inspired  

With remodeling season quickly approaching, Dean explains the sandbox portion of his and Tina's method when evaluating a home project. Dean talks about structured homes, working with the type of home you live in and creating your dream home the way you'd like it. Dean says ideas are not decisions. And how ideas should be rolling in always. Lastly, Dean talks about sealing a toilet tank that leaks.

Author of multiple books including The Parasitic Mind, Dr. Gad Saad draws from his groundbreaking research and lived experience and explains how certain ideas can parasitise our minds and shape our behaviour. His blend of scientific knowledge and honesty challenges us all to examine our thought patterns and societal assumptions while offering practical strategies for maintaining clear thinking in an increasingly complex world. Gad Saad REVEALS: His concept of "suicidal empathy" Why our natural capacity for compassion can become pathologically self-destructive The revolutionary framework of "parasitic ideas," demonstrating how certain thought patterns can hijack our cognitive systems The role of high expectations in achievement, using his own family's approach to education to illustrate how cultural values shape success patterns across generations His analysis of institutional resilience explains why certain academic disciplines maintain stronger connections to reality Why the tendency to internalise success and externalise failure influences both personal development and societal prejudices. How to distinguish authentic conviction from surface-level virtue signalling BEST MOMENTS "The biggest threat to freedom of speech short of you living in North Korea or under ISIS, is not the institutional obstacles to freedom of speech, but the self inflicted restrictions." "I never modulate a millimetre of what my heart and mind tells me to say, for better or worse, because based on my own code of personal conduct, if I modulate that, then I feel that I'm being fraudulent." "Don't pursue happiness wilfully, rather pursue life with honesty, dignity, and authenticity and the downstream effects as you'll wake up and you say ‘life is good’." "Be a honey badger. Fight for what's right."
