It feels great to be back to running 5-6 times a week. This pic is after 12 miles. A long run with a good audiobook takes me away from the madness of the online world, and reminds me how beautiful this life is. I'm grateful for every moment I get and I'm grateful for all of you.

Here's my conversation with Aella all about human sexuality. She is a sex researcher and a sex worker, who has done some of the largest psychological survey studies on these topics in the world. This conversation was fascinating and fun! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFSrxSBrgSc

Lol yep 🤣

Some of the most brilliant people I've ever met never finished school. Yes, credentials are useful to know, but I don't define a person by their credentials. Doing so is silly, and runs the risk of missing out on some fascinating people and ideas.

Happy valentine's day, whether you're looking for love or have found it ❤️

I'm back to playing video games, this time with a friend. RDR2 is one of the greatest games I've ever played. I might do more videos like this with friends and podcast guests. The banter made the gaming super fun. Please suggest video games (and guests). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6-TaGK_d4o

Here's my conversation with Tim Urban, brilliant human and author of a new book (out tomorrow) called What's Our Problem? on the state of modern discourse and politics. It's an instant classic. Also Liv Boeree makes an appearance! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkZz2I6sK08

I'm excited about the future.
