A limited edition print and digital publication featuring conversations with some of our favorite thinkers, creatives, builders and technologists.

As the world goes bite-sized, short form, full of platitudes and hot takes, we are drawn to deeper conversations and honest explorations.

Featuring:

• Anjan Katta of Daylight Computer on building humane tech without losing your humanity

• Douglas Rushkoff on the case for not knowing—mysticism, machines, and why the future is human

• Yancey Strickler of Kickstarter and Metalabel on escaping the algorithm to build a creative career that actually sustains you

• Leandra Medine Cohen on starting over after Man Repeller's public fall from grace

• Melanie Masarin of Drink Ghia on how to build a brand, the costs of authenticity, and the realities of founder life

• Mason Currey on all the ways artists, himself included, have balanced making art with making a living

• Isabel Unraveled on what happens when you let go of cynicism and trust yourself enough to be positive

• Adam Mastroianni on what's making us all so unhappy and what to do about it

• Plus a special conversation between Alex and yours truly where, among other things, I talk about why I resent my parents, whether bad business metrics bring me down, how my children would describe me, why being optimistic but dissatisfied is the road to progress, and perhaps the hottest take in the entire zine: how I feel about naps

I became obsessed with community ownership and went on a journey to talk to the most interesting people about whether tokens can help democratize ownership. This podcast is a series of no-nonsense, no-fluff conversations where my friend Joey and I (people too deep in the weeds to get lost in the clouds) ask lots of questions and walk the talk of the ownership economy.
