Fear Calcifying, Not Aging ft. Smiling Strange

This week I spoke with Kyle (Smiling Strange) about generations, the internet then vs. now, how we discover music as we grow up, and what it takes to keep evolving instead of calcifying with age. We talk about his process of making videos while walking around his neighborhood, why authenticity cuts through the algorithm, and how culture is shifting faster than we can keep up. This one is eclectic—it goes from music to the internet to creativity to philosophy (and even economics). Kyle is super interesting and fun to talk to, and I left this conversation with a lot to ponder. I hope you do too. Let us know if you listen.
