[9] My Beautiful Monstrosity with Jim Jefferies
This week is a treat. I welcome comedian Jim Jefferies as my guest. Yes, the same Jim Jefferies who told Piers Morgan to “F*** off!” on Real Time with Bill Maher last Friday. This episode is a about a dark, ugly, beautiful revelation I had, inspired by a brilliant bit on Jim’s Netflix special, Freedumb. As a
[3A] BONUS: Empathic Future with Jeremy Rifkin
Log in to listen to a great 30 minute excerpt from my chat with Jeremy Rifkin about the future of human purpose in a tech-drenched world without work.

Welcome to The McFuture: A Manifesto
We need to talk. About The McFuture. It’s now years after the recession. Unemployment is at record lows, stocks are at record highs, and many of us are at record widths. We float in this infinity pool of Nutella, Netflix, and nip slips. Things that would make Caesar blush. We can learn any skill, order
