Episode transcript
Welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast. So you might have noticed that the world has gone a little bit insane. And to get through this in a way that is sustainable and maybe even joyous, we are going to have to find some crazy wisdom. Which is why I named the podcast Crazy Wisdom. And I try to find guests who are both contrarian and right, as well as people who can help us to understand how we can get through this period of both experiences acceleration as technology accelerates and maybe even a little bit of darkness, as well as some of you may have been noticing, really crazy stuff is happening right now. So my goal with this show is to empower you with crazy wisdom and give you the tools to figure out how to do it on yourself. Because we don't can't rely on too much these days. So with that being said, if you like what I'm offering with this show, I'm on Twitter to Stuart Alsop. I, I, I. My DMs are open. I'd love to hear from you about how this show has affected you. Thanks. Have a great day.
Hello everyone. Well, I'm here with Stuart Alsop third and I'm very excited, very honored for having you here in the show. It's quite an opportunity because we're two fellow interviewers who try to bring ideas to the table and it's a good opportunity to just tackle our own perspectives on how things are. And let's see where we go with these interviews toward.
Cool. Thank you so much for having me on. It's a pleasure. I was amazed that you interviewed John Vervaeke and then actually introduced me to John Vervaeke as well, who's a huge hero of mine and so I interviewed him. So thank you very much for this and thank you very much for that too as well.
