On this episode of Off the Clock, I’m joined by my pal Jay, who I haven’t seen in person in like 7 years, but think about a lot. Reach out to people you like and do it out of the blue. Why not?! Here’s some of what we talk about:
First Question: Why am I wrong about A.I.?
Jay tries to convince me of his belief that there will be a handful of companies worth billions of dollars running everything, and that everything else will be automation (needless to say, I don’t agree – but we dive into it extensively!)
a fake comedic pitch he did online where a friend of his tries to convince a Shark Tank-style audience that we should replace cars with llamas
why it’s a travesty that we haven’t connected more in the intervening years and why we both perceived our relationship (wrongly) as hierarchical
friends that energize you vs friends that drain you
the importance of platonic male friendship, especially as you get older
Jay isn’t good at receiving praise – and I catch him trying to deflect it from me!
yet another reference by me of the Johari Window
the dangers of over-utilizing self-reliance
we talk about our views on masculinity, fatherhood and prioritizing your values
Jay turns the tables on me and starts interviewing me with a bunch of rapid fire questions about Hamilton, cybertrucks, wet socks, Halloween candy and a ton more (this is really fun, btw)
