I love new technology.
From being one of the first to try Uber to helping create the Facebook Ads platform, I’ve tried tons of new technology inventions over the years.
My thought with new technology: “If it sounds too good to be true… they’re typically onto something.”
In today’s episode, I share my favorite new technology — plus my favorite recent lessons from people like Tim League from Alamo Drafthouse, my favorite recent books, and more things I’m loving.
In this episode, you’ll learn…
- The weird strategy my new co-host David uses to stay positive (it has to do with movies)
- How I met someone I admire recently — and how you can use the same strategy
- My favorite recent piece of advice about how to grow and improve
Things I talk about in this episode:
- Big Fish: One of the movies that makes me cry
- Sufjan Stevens: Depressing music for when I need to feel
- “Daylight” by Matt and Kim: A hipster song I’m really into recently
- Twist is the New Twerk: A fun album of music covers using old instruments
- Alamo Drafthouse: Epic movie theater created by Tim League that serves alcohol, has restaurants inside, and more

Amazing your blog. we like your post. thanks
Nice blog.thanks
Hi Noah,
Nice to see a new podcast episode. Have to say that the talk about the companies was pretty bland though. Doesn’t seem to be any that personally I’d use in any way, and might apply to most listeners unless I’m not really informed about the demographic of the blog.
Enjoyed the recommendations and probably even talking about David was better than the shallow parts with the companies. Looking forward to some diversity.

Noah, David, Great podcast and book suggestions! Thanks for sharing the Tim League story.
There isn’t really something special about Brandless.
It’s just the dollar store concept but with selling generic products (under private label) to which they can attach a lot of buzz words, paired with a brand named “Brandless”, that wants to be perceived as morally superior.
The $3 price comes from selling smaller quantities in general. (not from really being cheaper then equivalent products)
I’m not saying that it can’t be a good business model, I’m just saying what’s behind the facade.
Chess was, is and always remain cool. 🙂
